A couple of weeks ago, I took oldest daughter to the range. I gave her 500rds and an AR15 and said go for it. Today, I decided to clean the AR15 and once I pulled the sack up wool sock off, there was about a 2 inch long blob of melted sock on the side of the barrel just forward of the front sight. That melted wool was hard as a rock like melted nylon. The only way I could get it off was to burn it off by placing the affected area above the burner flame on my gas range. Yeah, I guess that barrel got hot, huh. ____________________________________________________ New and improved super concentrated me: Proud rebel, heretic, and Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal.

Ever so slightly warm. I'll bet she had a great time blasting! | |||

Apparently she stopped at 400rds of the 500. So I am told. A bruised shoulder you know. I should have let her try 400rds of 7.62X51 through Big Green the AR10.

I took my two youngest grandsons to the range for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I took a 10/22 with us. The older one (8) did just fine. The younger one (6) watched his brother, then took his turn. He empty that 10/22 in about 2 seconds! Amazingly, all on target! It took a lot of effort not to smile too big over that. ———- Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for thou art crunchy and taste good with catsup. | |||

I used my range bag as a rest for my AR10, and after a 25 round mag, i realized the strap was touching the suppressor. Nylon melted itself on good and hard. I put it over my stove and heated it up at home and it wiped right off. The bags strap is dead now though. ____________________________ While you may be able to get away with bottom shelf whiskey, stay the hell away from bottom shelf tequila. - FishOn | |||

Leaned mine against a plastic picnic table after a 30 round course in a match. Well, the picnic table now has a nice deep barrel-rest groove in it. They get amazingly hot.

I was shooting a suppressed AR in the rain. It didn't take long before rain drops were sizzling off the silencer. | |||

I have a burn scar on my right hand from grabbing a hot barrel on a M16A2. Hurt like a son of a bitch too. ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

Thread Derail: While returning to CSC from a -20 degree night on the SAC ramp, I grabbed the barrel of my M16 with a bare hand. Took 20 minutes for the heat in my hand to warm the barrel enough for me to let go. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Me - "Don't touch the barrel. They get really hot after a few mag dumps. 250 or 300 degrees, or hotter." Friend- "Bullshit. They dont get tha------ OOWWWWWW!!" followed by jumping around and screaming like a girl. Me- "Told you not to touch the barrel. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

The first time I shot with a suppressor, my friend pulled out a welding glove as he was unpacking his gear. I asked him "what's that for?". He just said "you'll see". I later learned that he had learned the hard way that suppressors get really hot. ____________________ I Like Guns and stuff | |||

I use a blue tarp to catch brass so I don't have to pick it out of the grass. One of my tarps has a long hole in it where an AR barrel melted right through. It also has a bunch of tiny holes where hot brass has welded themselves to the tarp when they land.

I have fired a bolt action fast enough to cause a second degree burn when flesh contacted the barrel! | |||

Wait, what? |
Years ago, a buddy was at Knob Creek and saw an Aug that had been tortured fairly heavily get leaned against a plastic picnic table; he said it started cutting a channel the width of the barrel through it like a hot knife through butter before someone grabbed it. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||
