This video demonstrates the extreme reliability of the WWSD 2020 AR-15, developed by KE Arms and Brownells, under harsh environmental conditions. Instructor Karl Kasarda, with high authority in firearms testing, submerges the rifle in mud twice, including direct contamination of the action, and fires it successfully after each test. The WWSD 2020, featuring a KP-15 polymer lower receiver, proves its capability to function even when heavily soiled.

This guide details a simulated test comparing the reliability of a revolver versus a semi-automatic pistol under adverse environmental conditions. The test involves tumbling firearms in lint and burying them in dirt to assess their performance and ease of field maintenance. The findings suggest modern semi-automatic pistols may offer greater reliability in extreme conditions compared to traditional revolvers.
