Yes, he blasted it with a shotgun. Looks like that mag might be toast.
** This giveaway has ended, but be sure to check the Inside Gun Digest Books blog for more chances to win great Gun Digest books.**
When Patrick Sweeney said he was going to put a batch of ARs through some intense torture testing to do gun reviews, we had no idea he’d go this far.
To find out just how much abuse these ARs could withstand, Sweeney:
- Buried them in dirt and sand
- Submerged them in water
- Dropped them from heights
- Ran them over with trucks
- Froze them
- Blasted them with a shotgun
And then he fired them, documenting the entire process in photos! The results appear in Gun Digest Book of the AR-15 Volume 4.
This week, we’re giving away a copy of Gun Digest Book of the AR-15 Volume 4 to one lucky winner. To enter the random drawing, just post a comment below telling us about the worst conditions your gun has been subjected to (intentional, or not!) and still functioned.

I have submitted this weapons system to all kinds of terrible conditions during 2 tours in Iraq. My own AR is used in tactical training exercises during which it gets in the water, mud, dirt and snow, and with proper cleaning and maintenance it works flawlessly. It started out as a Windham Weaponry AR but I have done work to the weapon and now its a mixture of many different brands to make the best rifle. Thanks for allowing me to enter your contest.
Thank you for your service, Army917.
I would like to win a new AR in case the one I already own goes T.U. I still have room in my safe for another weapon.

I once leaned it against the wall and it fell over. It hit pretty hard though.
I’m ready to have it shipped to me!
I don’t have an AR (yet), but I did dump my old Mini-14 into a lake once when a canoe flipped. No harm to it, me or the canoe…

I’d love to see how my two ARs stack up in this book.
I recently purchased a Stag Model-8. I tend to baby my firearms so there hasn’t been any extremes. I have to say that out of the box, stock sights, this model 8 was spot on and extremely accurate. Thanks for the opportunity to try to win this book.
