How many rounds does a direct impingment AR go without cleaning before it jams? And how many rounds does a soldier carry with him?
The Army dust tests were hardly a real world scenario.
I would say that the SF that have tested and used the 416 (as well as the M4) would be a pretty good test. They chose the HK design almost exclusively...You Fail.The Army dust tests were hardly a real world scenario.
HK vs. Colt...Any others ?
Has that come up again?...possibly because I am not an AR snob...but that seemed like the most pointless debate ever. :banghead:Let's not forget "the chart"
Has that come up again?...
I realize that...just saying that it was one of the worst topics ever IMO.Sorry, I should have clarified. My post was a response to lipadj46, regarding topics that never get resolved.
The only thing that video sums up for me is that HK faked the test.M1A National Match said:
Well, that's physically impossible unless the reciever was specifically altered to fail. The right side of the reciever has a gigantic pressure vent in it commonly called the ejection port.
It has...It was given to Moses with the 10 Commandments...J.M. Browning referred to it to have something to aspire to.Seems like it's been going around forever.
It makes since to me that, in a test using an incompressible fluid (water), the pressure exerted on the bolt would cause the bolt/carrier to "have a strong desire to leave the receiver" and take the path of least resistance in doing so...the ejection port is the weak area in the design of the receiver, and therefore is where the fracture propagates from. I would think the tests that you are referring to are not immersion tests.The only thing that video sums up for me is that HK faked the test...If you look at real world (read not HK tests) examples of M16 and M4 rifles that have had recievers fail it is always the left side that fails. Always.
Badger Arms, when did this become the AR/AK debate.

Blah, blah, blah... anecdote, anecdote, anecdote.
