Videos tagged with Over the Beach Test

This video tests the Beretta M92's reliability under extreme conditions, including submersion and heavy fouling. The M92 demonstrated superior performance compared to a Glock 17 and a 1911, successfully cycling after being filled with dirt and fired immediately after being submerged. A Springfield Armory 1911 experienced a catastrophic barrel failure during the underwater test.

This video details a rigorous 'Over the Beach' (OTB) durability test on the Springfield XD-9 (HS2000), simulating harsh maritime conditions. Following a baseline function test and a severe dirt/mud stress test, the firearm was fired while submerged. The test revealed significant failures, including striker reset issues and extraction problems, indicating the platform's limitations under extreme water ingress, contrasting with previous Glock tests.

This 1911 'Over the Beach' test pushed a Springfield Armory 1911 A1 Loaded variant to its limits. After initial function and a dirt/mud test, the pistol was submerged and fired underwater. While it cycled several rounds submerged, repeated stress led to a catastrophic failure, cracking the slide and bulging the barrel.
