Fifteen Times the Lead: A Look at This AR-15 Volleygun
This isn't your grandpa's AR-15. This builder has cooked up a dual-feed volleygun system that fires two rounds per trigger pull, and it's legal. Let's break down what's going on and why it's generating so much recoil.
You've seen AR-15 builds. You've seen trick builds. But firing two rounds on a single trigger pull, fifteen times the lead per shot? That’s a different level of commitment. This video showcases a custom AR-15 configuration that legitimately functions as a volleygun – legally, mind you – by feeding two rounds simultaneously. This isn’t about dodging regulations; it’s about demonstrating ingenuity within the existing framework.
The core concept is simple, yet surprisingly effective: two magazine tubes feed directly into the chamber, allowing for a dual-round discharge with a single trigger pull. The video highlights the use of one-ounce slugs, which significantly increase the recoil compared to standard ammunition. The creator notes the recoil is surprisingly manageable given the load, a testament to the rifle's platform and the shooter’s technique. The “weird” sound mentioned is the result of the rapid, sequential firing – a characteristic that demands respect and a firm grip.
He’s also leveraging a service called Ammo Squared, which allows him to pre-purchase and stockpile ammunition, with delivery triggered when he's ready. It's a smart solution for those of us who understand the importance of maintaining a robust ammo supply – a necessity in these uncertain times. Being able to bypass the usual retail headaches and build a reserve is a practical advantage.
Understanding the Tech
The legality of this build hinges on it not being classified as a machine gun under the NFA. The key distinction lies in the sequential nature of the firing; while two rounds are discharged, they aren't fired in rapid succession. This places it firmly within the realm of a volleygun, a historical firearm design that has seen a resurgence in interest among those seeking to push the boundaries of the AR-15 platform.
Consider the implications for marksmanship. While delivering a rapid payload, the accuracy will naturally be impacted compared to single-shot precision. This build isn’t about sub-MOA groups at 100 yards; it’s about a demonstration of mechanical ingenuity and raw power. It’s a tool for a different purpose – perhaps breaching or close-quarters defense, though its primary function here seems to be showcasing the builder’s skills.
