nice..................

Great tests for their durability and reliability but really, who treats their rifle like that? Regardless of whether or not its a pleasure rifle or a service rifle. anyone who neglects their firearm in such a manner deserves what they get. I know I treat my rifle a lot better than that especially if my life depends on it. Nonetheless, still cool to see the old AK takin an ass kickin and come out firing.

He owns several AKs and this is his torture test AK. The chrome is worn from around the gas port. It still shoots inside 5 inches at 100 yards. That isn't bad.

If you think that is bad, then the real bad ones will stay in my collection.

nice gun
no flame war plz...

That's why it is the weapon of choice of the poor and the hungry. Some of them out there carrying AKs don't even know one can dismantle the weapon , forget about cleaning it.

True, but I still "test" any new gun I get that I intend to take to the desert or wherever by putting it through paces of getting really dirty and beat up.

You'd hate how I treat my weapons, and I take care of them! p-) I've got a few test videos, burying my Remington 870 in sand, and I have images from my test of an SKS doing 770rds really fast. Can we say combustion?

I'd say that's more of a "dirty water" test than a "mud" test.

[Taekwondo]

Let's let that mud build and freeze on the gun...

In case there is war during the winter or in jungle you can always count on AK.

Nobody would treat their firearm like this. That famous video of Mud marines landing into mud, I'm sure those soldiers maintained their rifles well, but what if it was iraqi machine gunners meeting them on the beach and not a camera man? You think their SA-80s would fire after something like that?

Post your other vids.

Na...the iraqi machine gunners would be too busy laughing their asses off.

If you look at some of the Chechnya pictures on the net....that terrain looks very muddy and wet, im sure those AK's were still shooting.

NO gun is perfect, they all have their faults (although I am more partial to russian weaponry...)p-)

Yes even the L85A1 would fire after being swilled around in brown water.

...Or tea, as it's known in the cookhouse.

He fiddles because there is no magazine in the gun when he is rubbing the mud in. The mud is thick and gritty, not soft a gooy. The magazine was hard to insert because it had to plow the mud away before it would fit.

I would love to see an AR have its mag well filled with mud and have a mag put in it and fire away......

Another thing to remember is that no gun, not even an AK, will fire with something in the barrel. (well, it might, but only once or twice, and i wouldn't like to be the one doing the shooting, or standing nearby when he did)

The AK was, and is, built to arm a large semi trained consription force where cleaning and maintenance skills are 0 or less, and to ensure reliability even through serious neglect.

If you slip and fall into that mud with an AK in a combat situation, then that's no biggy. But if a soldier did that with just about any other weapon, how reliable would it be untill he took it apart and cleaned it ?

Dude why do you stand so far away every time. Afraid it's gonna blow up or something? It's a ****ing AK! :)
