    Ultimate AR-15 Meltdown

    I don't usually watch 15+ minute YouTube Videos, but I do like Iraqveteran8888's videos, as they are entertaining.

    Just finished watching him melt that barrel. I watched on full30.com. It's a new website. "Full30 is dedicated to providing shooting enthusiasts with quality content and a friendly community. Join us and explore Sport Shooting, Self-Defense, and Gun Reviews"

    I bet he could have got a few more rounds out of it with V7's Inconel gas tube.

    It would be interesting (and expensive) to see how different barrels held up.

    He could have bought two barrels for what he just spent on ammo in this test.

    That would be interesting, but I would really like to see a video produced over the course of say a year showing more realistic shooting conditions. Just put a case or two per month through the thing and show the results. Put the guns in a gun range and let people rent the thing and shoot the crap out of it.

    Either that or have a video about shot out barrels, talking about how they were shot, how they were treated, what the round counts are, and so on and so forth. Just burning the barrel off of a gun is fun and cool and all, but I would like to see more of what I can realistically expect for my money from various manufacturers.

    Makes sense. I saw comments on full 30.com that indicated people were impressed that the barrel lasted that long. It's kind of funny that watching a barrel get destroyed helps sell barrels. This barrel was stainless steel which is not supposed to hold up to the heat as well as a 4150 barrel would. According to the comments.
