Default Torture Test

Perusing youtube trying to avoid watching the Pen's lift the cup again, I came across this.

Of course, they could have easily stopped it from firing and it was no accuracy test but i was impressed...

I wonder how it would fair after a cowpat, grass and a nice muddy puddle on a rainy summers day in England? I'll go and test it....

No, I won't

So...... only in the US.....

With something that people often complain that they have problems with "out the box "

Would you take a perfectly useable firearm and drag it through the dirt and snow to try and make it " Not work "

Would it then be sent back for warranty work ? If it failed.

I'm with mutt... not sure it would fair so well with the typical English summer of liquid sunshine.

The clay soil and weather would I am sure have it failing to feed and fire within less than half a mag...

A "torture test" with a toy rifle? To what end?

I don't see it as a toy rifle. I also do not see the value in deliberately trying to destroy a gun or any other tool. Environmental wear and abuse are entirely different.

A much better test IMO would be to see how many rounds the gun would fire, with and without a sound moderator (US: suppressor) before it started to jam/fail.

Given the apparent .22lr shortage in the US though i'm sure there's not many willing to give it a go!
