Myth Testing: Will holding the forward assist on an AR15 blow it up?

PLEASE SUPPORT MAC ON PATREON (we are viewer supported): http://www.patreon.com/militaryarms

Our friends at InRangeTV made a comment that a viewer warned them that holding the forward assist on an AR15 forward would blow the gun up. If memory serves, this claim came from a Soldier who said his rifle grenaded when he accidentally fired it from around cover and held the assist forward. So, we find out if this is true or not.

We also fire a Law Tactical Folder while folded to see if it damages the rifle or the Law Tactical Folder.
