I'd kinda like to know more about what was causing it to mess up in full auto. If something failed or if after cleaning it ran fine. It would be really interesting to see what happened to the accuracy after all of that. I'd love to see the barrel cut in half as well to see how bad the gas port erosion was and how much of the rifling was completely gone.
That being said you do have to give the gun credit for doing a good job.

He said that he wasn't firmly locking the gun into his shoulder pocket and putting enough pressure on it.
It went into full auto and did complete mag dumps a few times later in the video after firm up his bracing, but there were still a fair number of burst fires - rack - tap - burst fire - rack - etc.
I feel confident if he would have given the BCG a quick spritz of lube around the 1,000 rd. mark it would have continued to run on full-auto.
Three shells got stuck in the throat which I found surprising. One of POF's engineering touts is their E2 extraction assist technology (they basically use 4 small channels cut into the throat to allow some gas back pressure to leak around the upper neck of the expanded case and push back against the shoulder to unseat it and make it easier it for the extractor to pull it out.
Precision is toast. He showed that much of the rifling inside the barrel was work but still there, just forward of the throat and just behind the muzzle was gone. Smooth bore. While not a totally shot out barrel, precision would be out of the question.1-MOA - not any more. It's definitely a SAW at this point.
