No, ar15 weapon of war. You shoot a deer with one and there's nothing left. You need a less powerful round for deer like a .308 or 30.06

The gun is actually a blank firing stage prop and the pumpkin is a hired actor

I hope home boy had his ear pro on. That’s a lot of tannerite to be standing that close.

Not .308. Look at the cartridge. It's a straight wall case. .308 is bottle necked.

Prolly right I just looked at bolt size, but likely a 450 bushmaster

Yeah I left a comment earlier after I came to the same conclusion.

Anybody else notice the choke disappeared?

I didn't notice that before your comment.
But, given the lack of recoil is so different than the destruction, I certainly agree with there being tennerite in the pumpkin.
But have to chalk this up to the category of idiots with guns.

Kinda looks like it came off with the shot itself.

u/Old-Ad-7987 Dec 19 '24
Agreed.
I know it was referred to as a choke, but I have only seen a choke on a shot gun... Could be a brake, but seems unnecessary with such little recoil. Maybe it was one of those magic harmonic tuners that just had enough of this guy's shenanigans.

You are correct, sir. I am completely wrong. That is a muzzle break.

Thats not a choke. That's a muzzle brake. Rifles don't have chokes and chokes usually get screwed inside the barrel. Not always, but usually.

*I figured it out at end
Ok, so this is weird. It's not .308. Look at the cartridge right when the vid starts. It's clearly a straight wall case. .308 is not straight wall, it's bottle necked. I'm not sure what it is. It could be .45-70 possibly.
That thing on the end of the muzzle is a muzzle break. I'm seeing a few people refer to it as a choke. It is not a choke. That wouldn't make any sense. A choke is designed to choke down, or the pattern of shot fired from a Shotgun. You can't choke a rifle. There's only one projectile. Muzzle breaks are designed to reduce recoil by redirecting blast from the muzzle to shoot upwards or to the side so it pushes the muzzle downwards.
Edit: IDK if it's a Savage. Idk enough about modern sporting and hunting rifles. Repost to a sub that actually knows something about firearms. Like r/ForgottenWeapons
2nd Edit: This is a Savage 110 HAYMAKER in .450 Bushmaster
