Brandon Herrera tests the durability of a full-auto AK-47, nicknamed 'Stormy Daniels,' by burying it for a month. Despite significant rust and mold growth, the rifle remained functional, cycling through semi-auto and full-auto fire after an initial struggle. The test highlights the AK platform's inherent robustness, though internal components like the recoil spring showed heavy corrosion. A teaser for a new AK-74 build chambered in .224 Valkyrie was also presented.
