Tests durability of latest iPad by shooting it with rifles


A man carried out a durability test on the new iPad by shooting at it, a media report said.

The video of the Apple gadget being destroyed has become an online hit, The Sun reported.

It shows Richard Ryan using different guns, including an assault rifle, on a range to shoot at the new iPad.

The slow motion video shows the screen smashing in the spot where the bullet passes through, but it does not shatter entirely.

'It didn’t do as much as I’d hoped to it,' said Ryan after the first test, before deciding to use a higher powered M4 gun, which blasts a large hole through the centre of Apple’s latest must-have gadget.


The video is the latest in a series produced by Ryan, who has also shot an iPhone, Xbox 360, iPad 2 and other gadgets.

He also has an unusual take on another popular online series of videos, called ‘will it blend’, where the latest gadgets are placed in a blender to see if they survive.




Ryan’s take on the series involves a blender being shot using a series of rifles.

But the gun lover's latest video has divided opinion among YouTube users.

One user said: 'Why would you ruin a good ipad. I’ve wanted one for ever and couldn't afford one.'

However, others are fans, claiming the video is ‘awesome’
