Title: AR-15 Kaboom at Koko Head
Post by: 2aHawaii on February 25, 2010, 10:00:09 AM

A member of forumshawaii, scrivs, had his "poi dog" AR-15 blow up last weekend (http://www.forumshawaii.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=594504). Fellow member nakas took the pictures below.

Luckily no one was seriously injured and scrivs is only out one complete upper.

In all my 5.56 and .223 rnds never seen that, any idea on how that happened or any factors leading upto the catastrophic failure?

Was the Ammo reloads or factory?

Looks like the case web was flawed somehow.  Did it fire out-of-battery?

I don't think the poster said what the official cause of the KB was. He was using reloaded ammo though.
