iPad Air 2 Versus Airsoft Rifle

The folks at RatedRR have put many phones and tablets and computers through the ringer, and safe to say that none have survived. After all it seems unlikely that any electronic device will survive having a bullet put into it, right? That being said, RatedRR is back with a new video which sees Apple’s new iPad Air 2 put through the paces.

They started off “easy” by shooting the tablet with an Airsoft rifle. However it seems that thanks to Apple choosing to sacrifice protection over a thinner design, it looks like the pellets from an Airsoft gun was enough to render the iPad useless. The thin form factor also caused the tablet to take a lot more damage compared to other devices.

Also in true RatedRR fashion, they ended the video by taking out a Barrett M82A1 50-caliber sniper rifle, thus ending its misery. It was recently that a video surfaced which showed the iPad Air 2 being bent in the same way as the iPhone 6 Plus. Some have criticized the video since people will most likely not be putting the iPad Air 2 in their pockets, and it also looked like a fair amount of force was being applied at the same time.

In any case if you have a few minutes to spare and want to see some senseless violence conducted against Apple’s latest tablet, then be sure to check out the video above for the details!
