Maybe she meant Kleenex boxes.
Or that ARs shoot .50 caliber rounds.
She's so dam ignorant.

How Much Does an AR-15 Weigh? In short, the average unloaded carbine AR-15 with a 16 barrel with iron sights, stock and handguard weigh around 6.5 lb (3 kg) give or take a pound. Once you add a loaded 30 round magazine of .223/5.56 you will be adding roughly 1 additional pound (0.5 kg).

Somewhere out there is an AR-15 modified to fire .50 caliber rounds. Did she hold one like that? Maybe. If she had a history of credibility I'd cut her just that much slack. Nope.

There is an AR-15 which shoots .50 cal bullet. It is called a .50 Beowulf, and it is extremely rare to ever see one. You have a better chance of seeing Bigfoot playing checkers with a Chupacabra, than holding a .50 Beowulf AR-15 that weighs 30+ pounds.quash said:

If you do get to see one... I highly recommend that you shoot a few rounds!
