AK47 ignites while shooting (video)

Smokeeater 38

No, this is not me shooting, I found this on Break.com

Some moron fires an AK on full auto so much that the fore-end starts to burn. [:0] [:0] So much for getting any accuracy out of that gun now. [V] [:(!]

Impressive. Puts those weekly torture tests on guns and ammo TV to shame.

Jacob2008

He just wasted all taht ammo and lit a gun on fire.. what!?!?

HE WASNT EVEN AIMING!

Cubslover

Idiot.

I never see an AR do that. Those AKs are retarded.[:o)][:o)][;)]

IAMACLONE_2

A AR would never run that long, without melting the gastube into solder.
Proves that a AK will keep ticking, even if its on fire.

Sav99

Waste of a nice gun. Must have more $$ than brains.

Whatayaspect from someone who wears their hat backards?[;)]

Done that to my brother's Mini 14 once, on about the fifth or sixth 30 round mag

What a dope. Reminds me of the John Hiatt song "Perfectly good guitar".

select-fire

Keep a water bottle near. I have seen the same thing with an AK up close and personal.

nothing i would ever do, but entertaining at least, and it does speak volumes for the ak

williamprynn

I haven't wanted to punch anyone as much as I'd love knocking him out in a long time.

It's all Bush's fault.

ScharfSchutze

SHows that in even the most extreme of conditions nothing compares to the reliability of an AK47

MVP

He was probably going to change the barrel out anyway so He made a final show of it. I enjoyed watching him because now I don't have an urge to do that to my AKs

What a dummy to keep loading it after the fire.
It's a wonder rounds didn't cook off.

Those are the kinds of people that give us a bad name. The closest he should get to a gun is watching Lethal Weapon on DVD.

Dak To 68

So he replaces a barrel, maybe something else, if he can afford the weapons, he can afford to repair them. As for accuracy, from watching the impacts at the end, it was still plenty accurate for close combat, and he wasn't really aiming. I wouldn't want him shooting at me at 50 yards. Won't happen to an AR, the forend design, and materials would eliminate the possibility of a fire. Is that the wood burning, a lot of lubricant(oil), or maybe a combination of both?

Msut77

Honestly if he could afford to do that just to show how badass an AK is more power to him.

v35

It's the wood burning. I recall complaints out of Vietnam on brass rivets in the handguard burning the hand.

I was kind of thinking it may be the oils in the wood buring[?]

sarge_3ad

He probably is a idiot, but some people have enough money to make up for their stupidness. I say, have fun. It's entertainment for all.

knucklehead14

That would freak me out too much to shoot it while its on fire.
I never would have thought one would flame like that!
WOW!!

IAMACLONE_2

Post sample AK's sell for about $350.
No loss, as it would have to be destroyed anyway.
Might as well have fun while taking it out of service.
Who knows, he maybe doing a LEO demo, showing & testing his product for LEO's.
Its no loss & its proof that his prouct can standup to any rigors required by the LEO community.

drobs

I was hoping to see him burn himself. [}:)]

MVP

Brings a new meaning to the saying "The gun out shoots the shooter"
That Ak was ready for another mag if the shooter could have held on for a little longer.

dbarale

Nice ear and eye protection too...

gunbunny69

Kind of looks like a redneck that cashed in his 401k from jiffy-lube, bought a case of ammo, and tried out his (Home-improved) AK. Also looked pretty damned cool!!!!!

Warpig883

It is pretty easy to get the gas tube red hot on an M16 but I never melted one.
