Not good for long range accuracy, but clean-up is a snap!................

There is a reason for barrel rifling.It’s called accuracy

Use hspace=10 in your img tag to give a margin between the image and the text.

Good thing it has a Pickatinny rail - if the guy wants to mount some optics for those 1000-yd shots they’ll snap right on.

How can this be called a 2" barrel if the tip of the bullet protrudes?

A 55-grain 223 bullet is about 3/4" long and all this thing has is a chamber for the case.

Congratulations - we've "evolved" back to muskets - and not even that.

Just because you CAN do it, doesn’t mean that you SHOULD

That thing doesn’t need sights. It needs a shotgun bead.

It's more of a tumble.

Seems like a waste of the rounds. Almost no chance to get good rotation and wasting a major part of the powder.

Velocity is about like a .22 rim fire but if you shoot someone close up you can cremate them at the same time.

Why would anyone want a short barrel rifle?
My old Marlin Glenfield 60 had a 22” barel, now the same rifle has a 19” barrel. I guess it’s a manufacturing cost thing, because longer barrels are typically a slight bit more accurate.

Looks like he’s trying to turn an AR-15 into a CZ Scorpion EVO 3.

Why not have both instead? No need to mess with the AR-15 like that.
