We 1,000 round torture test to my MSAR STG 556-E4. I was lucky it did not have a major kaboom so I DO NOT recommend anyone try this. By the 32nd mag it started to cook off. The mag didn't want to come out at first, but I was eventually able to get it out. The receiver was extremely hot. The MBUS sights melted to the rail. The ACOG was very hot but no problems with it. The take down button wouldn't move so I was unable to disassemble the bullpup. I believe it melted or lost its shape from the heat. All lube cooked off so the guide rods were chewed up with much of the outer finish (chrome?) scraped off. I was finally able to get the charging handle to move after coating the rails with CLP, but It felt rough. I used various 30 round mags (MSAR E4 mags, USGI, PMAGS) and ammo (Federal M193, Prvi Partizan M193, Wolf 223 steel cased 55gr, Black Hills 223 remanufactured 75gr) for the test.

This is the first video (part 1) of my torture test series. In this series, I plan to torture test different types and designs of firearms to discover how much each one can handle. I also plan to have other series of reviews and various test of firearms/ammunition/accessories.

Thanks for watching!

Video notes: I speed up the duration at some points in the video so that I wouldn't have to cut/edit out footage so that the video would be complete once we started shooting the firearm, but I had to cut it into two segments because the original video was too long/big.
