This AR-15 with a two-inch barrel takes it to another level and is just insane.
AR-15 style rifles sporting shorter length barrels are high in demand these days. But how short is just too short on a registered short barreled rifle (SBR)?
Well, try this one. Yes, that barrel is actually only two inches long. When firing the 5.56x45mm/.223 caliber cartridges, the tips of the bullets protrude out of the barrel. This can be witnessed in the video before each shot is taken.
Is a 2″ barrel a good idea on an AR-15 rifle? Maybe not, but it does still shoot. Would you take a chance and shoot this ultra short-barreled AR-15? See the SBR AR15 footage here.
It looks more like “no barrel” than short barrel to me.
Convenient to start your campfire with the horrendous muzzle flash.
Not meant to be practical.
Meant to be promotable!
The profit is in the clicks!
I know the barrel length increase accuracy, but I thought it also had an impact on overall speed & distance also.
Too long. Concealing this would be impossible. I want a ZERO inch barrel.
A bolt, a firing pin, a ring that holds the round in place, and off the round goes, in any of 180 degrees direction.
Ya gotta take chances in life.
I’d be very curious to see the “muzzle” velocity, there is no barrel length for the chamber pressure to impart velocity to the round. And, as noted, accuracy would not be a relevant term, either.
I'm thinking tumble more than spin...
What I REALLY want is a TWO DIMENSIONAL AR-15.
Height and width but no length.
You could keep it in your wallet and pull it out when needed.
“What is the spin on the bullet?”
It’s a knuckleball.
Short barrels do not work well AR pattern rifles - the 14.5 M 4 barrel is about as short as you want to go for reliability . Using a longer length gas system is good idea even for the M4 barrel
You can go 10 in in 5.56 with guns like the SCAR but ballistic effectiveness drops off steeply
If you want short, go to an FN PS 90 which is optimized for short barrel performance, or go to a bull pup design us has the Israeli Tavor or Steyr AUG
Meh. I’d rather have a Heckler & Koch P90.
Stupidest looking thing I’ve seen in a while.
I've made suggestions to poster before. They are ignored.
Drop the gun and throw the bullets...
Good satire sir. Actually legally that is a pistol and not a rifle and totally impractical.
At close range the target would get powder burns galore and blinded by the light at night. Funny gun but totally impractical.

Muzzle velocity 100 FPS?
Will you wear hearing protection and eye protection?
You have one of the good ones.
The old ones with the 22” barrel and the full length 18 round magazine are the ones I look for.
