How far would the bolt/carrier fly out a lower w/no buttstock attached?

Say you had it clamped down & popped a cap.  50ft?   100ft?

Note:  I have NOT done this,  nor do I plan to,  nor do I think  any one else should  try it.

The carrier key would destroy the charging handle and lower receiver.

Make sure you post pics from the ER, though.

There's something to be said about thinking twice & posting once.

Maybe I should take that advice.

I always wondered about that...


It would be even cooler if a redneck (or an Iraqi) bought an AR-15 (Found an M16) and decided to saw off the stock...

Then we might have something to talk about...

I would pay good money to watch an RoPer take a bolt carrier to the face doing that

might be safer to do it underwater.

lol honestly there are pics out there of something similar,  someone used a CAR Buffer in a Rifle tube,  I am sure someone has this pic/pics out there.  It doesnt achieve the same effect but would get a rough idea what kinda damage the gun would sustain
