Video: Will a Marshmallow Peep Prevent an AR from Firing?

By now you have probably seen video of AK’s firing with their internals covered in food, but how will an AR-15 hold up?

AR pattern rifles have much tighter tolerances than AK pattern rifles. These tight tolerances give the platform greater accuracy, but the introduction of foreign material can more easily impede proper rifle function. With that knowledge this shooter decided to find out what happens when you jam a marshmallow Peep into the lower receiver. We were actually pretty surprised by the results.

While the rifle did eventually fail it held up better than we expected.
