    Throwing a couple of AR15s in the mud video

    Here is a video of some impromptu testing of AR15s in the mud. I think this is a good video showing how one AR can work really well, and the other have more problems.

    I'm not the best video editor yet, just been using some free stuff on my slow laptop, but I feel the content is worth watching, and I would like to share.

    I was fairly impressed with the performance of my rifle, (the one that did better) For me, it seem almost all of the problems were related to small rocks or whatnot finding their way into the chamber, either seizing the shell in, or making it so it wouldn't chamber. No issues I could think of with the gas system or anything else.

    My buddies AR has similar problems, and also I think the no-name bolt carrier was giving some short stroking issues, I haven't looked at the key on his, but it could be loose or something. Also its possible the carbine length gas system with only a carbine buffer probably didn't help either.

    Let me know what you think! If you have anything you would like seen done let me know... although throwing them in the mud I probably won't do again as cleaning all the guns (I have some pistols we tested in the mud as well on my channel) was a pain in the rear. I Have a AK vs AR video I'm currently working on, and hopefully will post this week sometime. Then soon as the dirt roads dry up, I'll try some dust tests as well.

    The guy in ACUs needs to work on weapon manipulation, it seemed like he's never used an AR before even though he's wearing ACUs.

    I liked when the mud was shoveled onto the AR, can't say I've seen anyone do that before.

    What is the purpose of the test? Water and sand has been done a thousand times?

    That would be correct, this is his first AR I have been helping him build, and his only experience with the AR was shooting mine a few times before. And neither of us have served, we just like to wear camo at our property when were playing in the mud and getting dirty.

    Mostly because it was fun. And we wanted to see first hand what some AR15s can do.

    The AR [M16] has seem more action than probably any other rifle fielded by in the US military forces, it is well proven and its weak points are well known. They have seen mud and sand before there was a youtube.

    Tell your friend to "Never go full retard" with the vfg. Also it's a magazine, not clip.
    Looked like a fun little shoot.

    I think this won't end well.

    Sometimes a guy just wants to see what his equipment can take.

    Not something I would do though...especially if it were my only gun.
