This TFB TV video puts a Glock 17 through an extreme sub-zero torture test, freezing it to -100°F for seven hours. Initially, ice buildup caused failures to return to battery, but as the pistol warmed up from firing, it began to cycle reliably. The test highlights the Glock's simple design and its ability to overcome extreme conditions, even after significant cold exposure.

Quick Summary

The Glock 17 was subjected to a sub-zero torture test, frozen to -100°F for seven hours. While initial firing revealed failures to return to battery due to ice buildup, the pistol eventually cycled reliably as it warmed up from firing friction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How cold was the Glock 17 during the torture test?

The Glock 17 was frozen to -100 degrees Fahrenheit using dry ice for a duration of seven hours to test its reliability in extreme cold conditions.

Did the Glock 17 function reliably after being frozen?

Initially, ice buildup caused the Glock 17 to fail to return to battery. However, as the pistol warmed up from firing, it began cycling perfectly and ran reliably.

What were the main findings of the Glock 17 freezing test?

The test showed that while extreme cold can cause initial malfunctions like failures to return to battery due to ice, the Glock's simple design allows it to overcome these issues and function reliably once warmed up.

What specific issues did the frozen Glock 17 encounter?

The primary issue encountered was the gun failing to return to battery because of ice buildup in the slide rails. This required manual assistance to clear and chamber a round.
