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.

Count me in to win.
It would be great to win this book. I’ve been looking at AR’s and this could really help with the decision.
Dropped my Walther into the toilet accidentally, as I was pulling up my pants! What a crappy mess I had to clean up. Yes – I did clean it and yes it still works fine.

The worts conditions any gun could be subject to is to be left in the safe, neglected and unloved. I’m afraid I’ve put my guns through that torture once or twice.
I put a 1500 rounds with out cleaning to see if I would get a stoppage on my S&W M&P15-22P…it ran like a champ. Please put me in the drawing! Thanks!
