From Defense Tech:
Here’s some Thursday morning entertainment. It’s apparently a Libyan rebel fighter showing off his skills with an AK-47 (it might actually be an AK-74U). Too bad the weapon just doesn’t want to cooperate. In fact, it hates firing so much, it self destructs after a few rounds. It looks like the poster of this video is, um, pro-Gadhafi. So not too sure how legit the claims are that this is a rebel soldier. It might just be regime propaganda but it’s still entertaining. Enjoy.

The only hypothesis' I can muster up is that the tar tar had either A. had a poorly maintained firearm that had weak points (ae* rivets, rust, failed assembly of the firearm) or B. a bullet of a different caliber had wedged itself far enough into the barrel that the hammer was still able to strike the bolt causing the round to go off while taking the front trunion, barrel and most of the gas assembly completely off the receiver.
Truly amazing that the guys face didn't get hit with some kind flying debris, the last the you'd want to hear after that is "I didn't mean for you to keep your eye on the front sight like that".
