Although the gun fails what a remarkable weapon it is.

I just wanted him to shut up and shoot. :shrug:

[Zombiehunter]

Dang!!

[maroonandwhite]

Just the other night I said I didn't have a need for a full auto. I may have changed my mind after this video. Well more of a want than a use......

[slow ss]

I was kinda surprised the barrel went before the gas tube...

[Clod Stomper]

If his mag changes were as fast as his mouth, it would have failed sooner.

[Garufa]

See what happens when you shoot steel-cased ammo.

[Smith]

He must have learned dialogue from Nutnfancy. Added a good 7 minutes of yapping to what was an otherwise great video.

Yep it's not even the steel case though since the extractor was fine. It's the bi metal jacket on the bullet.


Lucky gunner has done a similar test except on a semi auto and the bimetal jacket on the steel cases ammo shot out the barrel itself, without the heat factor.

It probably would have been the gas tube if he used a milspec barrel and milspec ammo. Steel jacketed bullets and a stainless barrel changed that equation. It was still entertaining.

But it was 10,000 rounds in very short period of time. ;)

Yep. I was ready to strangle my monitor.

Nutnfancy could have added a good 20+ minutes of yapping.

[BigK]

that was REALLY cool seing that bright red barrel through that handguard

[Dolomite_supafly]

The reliabolt is a POS. They break regularly with use.

[Johnny Rotten]

Just a little over gassed, if he wanted to really torcher test a barrel on a M16 put a shrike upper on it and link up a 1000rd belt.
another video, same results but only the gas tube..

This is a red barrel

[Dolomite_supafly]

I have shot M60's to a point where the rifling was gone. I was at the range once in August burning ammunition and we were pouring oil on the barrels to keep them cool. Eventually all the M60's we had broke and we buried about 70K rounds in the New Mexico sand.

You get grid coordinates of the burial site :devil:  

 

I have fired more rounds than that through my M16 with no failure, at least nothing as seen on the vid.  I had the whole gas tube glowing red and a few cooked off, but we were on semi with a split second between shots due to the range rules.  But we did have range control watch us due to the rate of fire.  As for the pig, yea we shot the heck out of them but barrel changes kept us from smoking the barrels.

Holy CRAP! That thing was VERY much on fire.

[justinjr21]

When I watched it this morning I wondered the same thing if the gas block was going to go first. I was kinda surprised that the barrel blew but something had to fail but for all of those rounds it did last for a little bit at least.

[kevincan]

I watched the video this morning and was surprised that the barrel blew before the gas tube. I wouldn't want to be on that side when it went.

I'm going to add his vocabulary to mine:

 

wife: Stan! Dinner is ready

me: It's gettin hot!

 

Boss: We need to talk about your work performance

me: It's gettin hot!

 

Police: You in the tac vest, put the weapon down, place your hands behind your head and turn around slowly!!

me: It's gettin hot!

It's really warming up!

Not necessarily.  The breaks that he took actually could have killed it sooner than if he were running it faster.  Its heat soak or something like that.  Basically, it gets hotter several seconds after you stop shooting than when you are shooting.  I could be wrong though.  I'm no sciencatician.
