In todayโs 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. For many this is a very applicable topic. The results certainly surprised us.

Lets go Kalash Group collab
Stoner: "You had a great idea, Mikhail, but my weapon is more advanced in every way."
Kalashnikov: "How'd you solve the icing problem?"
Stoner: "โฆicing problem?"
Me gets mad when I get dust on my gun. Grand drowns his. Lol

Dang, wouldโve been concerned for the Russians if the AKs underperformed
More importantly, will your gun work in freezing conditions
"Come on Baby" Garand thumb talking dirty to his guns
And like that scar guys she'd a tear
What kind of jacket is he wearing?
I'm from MN. And 20 degrees ferrinhight is not a cold weather testโฆ 1911s are the only gun i had freeze up at that temp. -4 or so my 10.5 ar freezes up. And my sig 556 runs no matter what also watch your breath around your optics
the AK series is made for arid environments with sub-zero temperatures, and also works in the middle of Vietnam.
Hey man, can you do a video on the British military rifle ? The SA80a3 ??
It's standard procedure to periodically rack the action in freezing conditions specifically to prevent this from happening.
Glad I live in the "Gun-shine State " !
Moral to the story:
your gun is lightly frosted, use proper procedure and your good.
Your gun is completely submerged in water your screwed with any gun.
This is the most Fort Drum test I've ever seen
When mortaring a gun with a collapsible stock itโs prudent to collapse it.
Flannel daddy, do an sks, x95 and ar180 test for your canadian viewers that's all we can own here
Thank you! Now the MCX supply will increase and prices plummet.
I pray to Gun Jesus every night for m855a1 to hit the civilian market.
Now I need sand tests, too bad it would fuck your guns more permanently than the ice
I got money on the AK.
artic + that m14 is giving me some Rouge Spear vibessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss 10/10
