Duration: 10:31

This video from Iraqveteran8888 continues their Mosin Nagant M91/30 torture test, pushing the rifle to its limits with extreme loads and environmental conditions. The expert-led demonstration showcases the rifle's surprising resilience through functional range tests, bayonet and mud immersion, and even creek submersion. Ultimately, a highly dangerous 'range trash' powder load causes the bolt to seize and the stock to crack, effectively destroying the rifle but without catastrophic failure of the action itself.

Quick Summary

The Mosin Nagant M91/30 proved surprisingly durable in a torture test, surviving mud, creek submersion, and bayonet abuse. It ultimately failed when subjected to an extreme overpressure 'range trash' powder load, which seized the bolt and cracked the stock without causing a catastrophic explosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How durable is the Mosin Nagant M91/30 under extreme conditions?

The Mosin Nagant M91/30 demonstrated significant durability in Part 2 of the torture test. It remained functional after being submerged in a creek, heavily coated in mud, and subjected to basic bayonet use, highlighting its robust design.

What caused the Mosin Nagant M91/30 to fail in the torture test?

The rifle ultimately failed due to an extreme overpressure event caused by a dangerous 'range trash' load of mixed, unburnt powders. This load seized the bolt and cracked the wooden stock, rendering the rifle inoperable.

Did the Mosin Nagant M91/30 explode during the torture test?

No, the Mosin Nagant M91/30 did not explode. While the extreme pressure from the experimental powder load seized the bolt and cracked the stock, the core action itself remained intact without a catastrophic failure.

What tests were performed on the Mosin Nagant during the torture test?

The tests included firing service rounds to check functionality, bayonet stabbing tests on buckets and cinder blocks, immersion in thick mud, submersion and firing in a creek, and a final destructive test with an overpressure powder load.
