Magwa Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 That was a good torture test and the little AR held up very well over 800 continuaous rounds the barrel failed.... sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Wonder how a heavier barrel would have done . I have never cared for the M4 configuration. It was funny when the Muzzle device blew off , did it expand enough to just come off or did the threads weaken ? After watching the gas tube glow when firing , I thought it would be the first to go . Probably there was a bullet that got stuck in the barrel & thats where it blew & the bullet could have blown out with the gas pressure . The infamous " Mad Min. " in Nam , was one of the reasons they went to a heavier barrel , ( from the Pencil Barrel ) & three shot burst control .Wonder what the out come would be with the three shot burst control in there ? Another thing about this test , it looked fairly cold for the test , what would be the outcome if temp. was in the 90's ? I also think if the chamber or something blew out & took out that Class Three lower , someone would have been heart broken . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Wonder how a heavier barrel would have done . Like the M4 videos that came out a couple years ago - on the standard barrel (A2 profile), the barrel drooped and blew out. On the heavy barrel (SOCOM profile), the gas tube get go, but the barrel was still intact, and the rifle was firing single-shot. Charge-shoot, charge-shoot, charge-shoot...

Robocop1051 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 It was funny when the Muzzle device blew off , did it expand enough to just come off or did the threads weaken ? If you watch closely, you can see the brake spinning with each shot. It just worked its way off till it completely unthreaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
