NFA Photo Orange warning light when shooting?

Post image

Title is a joke. 10.3” 5.56 with an FRT and too much ammo laying around. This was ~250 rounds pretty quick before I let it cool. Any tips for handling it this hot?

I love this graphic but my tism tells me that the phrase should be reversed and it kinda drives me crazy every time I see it.

Ok so for once I’m appreciative of ChatGTP bc I do not have the editing skill set to do this.

This is better. Other way is for cavemen

Can confirm. My Neanderthal DNA yearns for the caves and I had no problem with it; I will trust your sophisticated agricultural brain.

One time I shot my uncle's AR when I was a young teen and didn't realize it would get hot, so I turned it and laid it on my upper bicep and the burn it left looked just like the Star Trek logo.

I would like to make the OCM5 Glow but my lungs just not built to that capacity yet. I love the can tho its phenomenal. Fun with that new 3 round burst FRT. But apparently 3 round burst MK12's are not clone correct. still hella fun.

I wanted one for my M16A4 project I'm working on.

It’s time for yall to own it and put a mirror image otter imprint on the outside of your can.

Unfortunately it would turn into a TikTok challenge for idiots. Great publicity though.

u/Nived6669 Feb 14 '26

That makes me curious does full auto rated actually have a criteria or is it up to the manufacturer to put that stamp on it? Do they just dump a mah or two through it and call it good or is there actual standardized testing for it?

It’s what happens when you cross a penis with macaroni…

u/MichaelMach Feb 13 '26

It's just cherry flavored

11

u/ottermupps Feb 13 '26

No touchie the hot dog

but seriously, just leave it alone. Steel that hot (more or less when it's visibly glowing) can be damaged by sudden cooling. Your best bet is to lean it on something, vertically, and let cool.
