Full combat load for US Army Infantryman...7 30 round magazines or 210 rounds.

I really don't see what 900 plus rounds in constant FA fire proves.  Lets see you carry 900 plus rounds and move around the battlefield and try to maintain constant FA rate of fire. Can't be done.

I would argue that in a real world condition, the rifle would have time to cool down in between engagements and would actually last much much longer than 900 rounds

Belt fed LMGs that do fire FA are not designed to do so constantly and the gunner carries an extra barrel.

I guess my point is that I don't feel inferior with a quality, lightweight (M4) mil spec chrome lined barrel

All of that is true but these tests are designed to test the most extreme limits of the rifle with the goal of inducing a failure.  Once it fails, the autopsy shows if there is something that could be improved to extend the number of rounds before failure.   They don't expect anyone to fire 900rds rapidly in real life.

Super duty mod 1 14.5” with pinned Hux flash hider, ~$1100.  Can also be had as a pinned 13.9”

Been available for awhile, now. Euro optic usually has the best price. Primary Arms is running a sale on G stuff for a little less than EO, but they’re probably OOS.

I know some dont like MAC on YouTube, but I stumbled across his video series of a BCM rifle where he fires 3-5 magazines at a normal semi auto pace, then puts the rifle away dirty. Without cleaning or lube I believe hes up to almost 9,000 rounds.

We absolutely plan on doing an autopsy! We can confirm the upper is back at factory. As we rapidly approach the holiday season we are hard at work to make sure orders get out.

Once we have an opportunity to get this upper inspected we will be excited to share the breakdown!

Klein Machining LMG Meltdown



The Klein meltdown video is disappointing, and I blame the bcg, but still cool nonetheless.

I love my Geissele and my Klein

I am tempted to get the Klein upper. Or at least the barrel for a G$/klein combo build.

@aimless

Can you confirm if this thread is set to not go to archive?

Since I may have been drinking well also tag

@dkprof

If he sees it first he can probably make sure it’s set to not archive.

Maybe one of them can pull one of the threads back from the dead that Bill or GACS was asking for.

Either way.

Do these things really get resolved within a month? I'd like to learn more about the failure testing than watching the melt down.  It would be cool to learn how the gun improves and compare it to others where the issue remains like PSA.

Not really practical, but pretty cool.   I recently picked up a 11.5 Spear Lt. I looked on his page and saw he did a video and the Sig made it a little over 1000rds.   I'm not going to lie thats twice as much as I expected.

It doesn't prove anything.  It's simply a way for the hillbilly to get views. He's not using the same barrel profiles for comparisons etc. It's a meltdown video same as all the others have done (iraqvet has some entertaining ones)

After how you have refereed to him. He’s making money on a platform that hates gun owners. Spend days shooting and having fun and getting paid. Clearly you’re hating for some reason. Jealousy makes the most sense. He also seems like a genuinely fun and easy going guy. As for his idea of destruction tests. Some of us like to see how far something can go before it gives up. It may not be your thing. If it’s not. Feel free to step out and go to a thread you may actually be helpful in.
