FREEZING Rifle Test - Will They Still Function?

[Emptymag]

AK47, AR15, SCAR, M14, FAL, etc

Sub-freezing temps.
Water poured directly onto them.
Will they still function?

Unrealistic? Absolutely.
Interesting anyway? Sure - I think it is.

I was impressed the *** made it, that was the biggest surprise. Everything else was pretty much expected.

Typical. Gun-related topic on a gun forum - went nowhere. LOL?


Anyway, here's "Part 2" a year later.

"The Freezing Rifle Test PT 2, we*re here to remind you this test is fun but silly. Please consider not basing your personality off of this test. In today's Freezing Rifle Test (best rifle for snow), we allow moisture/snow into the actions of different weapon systems and allow it to freeze. In order to best test how these freezing rifles would behave under a worst case scenario."

It is pretty interesting, but not very relevant for most people. I don't plan on keeping my firearms in the freezer or shooting outside during a Winter rain/snowstorm.

Nobody does. And it's clearly not...


Nevermind.

Did you enjoy the Arby's hamburger?

I was just postulating why your post went nowhere. How would you have liked people to respond if it's not applicable to them?

Not sure about the hamburger, I haven't been to an Arby's in over 15 years.
