This video details an extreme test of the Serbu RN50 .50 caliber rifle's durability by obstructing its barrel with concrete and dirt. The first test destroyed the concrete obstruction, leaving the rifle intact. The second test, burying the rifle in dirt, caused a catastrophic barrel failure, splitting into four pieces, while the receiver remained functional, validating its safety design.
