This video addresses controversy surrounding a CZ Scorpion EVO gauntlet test, clarifying a malfunction occurred while the firearm was on 'fire,' not 'safe.' The test demonstrated a seized bolt requiring extreme force, even a stump, to clear, indicating a failure under specific reliability stress conditions. The presenter emphasizes that such tests, while for entertainment, highlight potential vulnerabilities in any firearm.

This video details the CZ Scorpion EVO's performance in the 'Gauntlet Test,' a rigorous durability trial involving submersion in water, sand, dirt, and mud. While the Scorpion passed the initial 'Elements Test' with zero failures, it encountered significant issues during the full Gauntlet, including failures to feed (FTF) in sand and dirt, ultimately leading to the test's early termination. The expert instructor notes the gun's popularity and quality build but expresses disappointment in its performance under extreme conditions.

The Stribog SP9A3 underwent a rigorous Gauntlet Test, simulating extreme environmental conditions like submersion in water, sand, dirt, and mud. While it experienced several failures to feed and eject, particularly in dirt and mud, it consistently finished its magazines, demonstrating surprising resilience for an exposed-action roller-delayed system. The reviewer suggests that using higher-pressure ammunition might improve reliability in such adverse scenarios.

The FN Five-seveN pistol underwent a rigorous 'Gauntlet Test' involving sequential exposure to water, sand, dirt, and mud. Despite experiencing some malfunctions in thick mud, the pistol recovered to 100% reliability after a simple rinse. The reviewer concluded it's a military-service-grade reliable pistol, highlighting its high capacity and lightweight polymer construction.

This video details a rigorous gauntlet test performed on the Archon Type B pistol by the Military Arms Channel. The test simulates extreme environmental exposure, including water, sand, dirt, and mud, with and without rinsing between stages. The Archon Type B demonstrated impressive resilience, passing the initial stage with flying colors and showing strong performance in the more challenging 'true gauntlet' despite encountering two minor failures to go into battery in the mud. The instructor highlights the pistol's smooth slide operation even when heavily contaminated.

The Canik TP9 DA offers a return to a DA/SA striker-fired mechanism, similar to the Walther P99, with an improved trigger over earlier models. It features a slide-mounted decocker for safe carry and comes with two 18-round magazines, a loader, and a polymer holster. While the trigger pull is consistent, it has a slightly 'plasticky' feel before breaking.

The CZ P10c underwent an extreme 'Gauntlet' reliability test, enduring immersion in water, dirt, sand, and mud, firing 10 rounds successfully in each initial stage. However, during a second sand test, the pistol failed to reset due to grit ingress, indicating a vulnerability to fine particulate contamination. Despite this failure, the host noted its overall strong performance compared to competitors.

The CZ P07 9mm pistol demonstrated impressive reliability during extreme testing, including submersion in water, sand, dirt, and mud, followed by a bone-dry test. Despite minor malfunctions like a failure to go into battery and a light primer strike, the pistol performed above average, even when unlubricated. Its unique inverted slide rails may contribute to better debris sealing.

This video features a Glock 19 Gen 4 undergoing the "Gauntlet" reliability test by the Military Arms Channel. The test includes exposure to water, sand, dirt, and mud, pushing the semi-customized firearm to its limits. The host expresses excitement to see how this custom Glock 19 performs compared to a stock version previously tested. The description also includes links for donations to a local shelter and the creator's Patreon account.

The Honest Outlaw's Glock 43, despite aftermarket modifications, passed a rigorous gauntlet test involving submersion in water, sand, dirt, and mud. It only experienced a single failure to go into battery on the very last round of an extreme torture stage combining all elements. The reviewer concluded it's the most reliable pistol tested in this format, reinforcing its suitability for everyday carry.
