This video details a rigorous swamp immersion test on the BFT47 rifle, simulating Vietnam-era conditions. The rifle underwent a 72-hour submersion followed by live-fire testing. The assessment covers the rifle's durability, finish integrity, optic functionality, and internal component condition post-immersion, concluding with a no-go gauge test to verify dimensional stability. The instructor highlights the rifle's resilience and the effectiveness of the applied finish.

This video from GHG Hussle pits the AK47 against the AR15 in a series of extreme reliability tests, including submersion in water and exposure to dirt, mud, and sand. The AK47, utilizing a long-stroke gas piston system and chambered in 7.62x39mm, demonstrated superior resilience and continued function throughout the harsh tests. The AR15, with its direct impingement system and 5.56x45mm caliber, experienced multiple failures to feed and jams, ultimately being declared less reliable in these adverse conditions.
