Hey everyone, haven't been active on the forum for a while. Sometime back, I said I was going to document some torture tests on my guns. That day has arrived. My younger brother and I tested several rifles.
Mine:
Mini 14
Bushmaster AR-15
SOCOM II
My brother:
WASR 10
VZ-58
DSA FAL
With each gun we fired ten rounds clean to show they functioned properly, ten rounds with dirt on the bolt, and ten rounds with mud on the bolt.
I'm in the process of editing the footage together, and it was shot with my phone, so its not the best quality. I'll put it up as soon as I get it all squared away. Not going to publish the results until then either. I welcome y'all to make predictions in the mean time. I'll even share what I envisioned going in:
Mini: better than AR, equal to or less than AK
AR: middle of the road at best, jam o magic at worst
SOCOM: better than the AR, equal to or less than mini
AK: best of the bunch. Its a damn AK
VZ-58: anywhere between the mini and the AK
FAL: probably on par with the M1A
Like I said, as soon as I get it all together and looking good, I'll post it.
