Duration: 33:56

The POF P416, a factory machine gun, underwent an extreme meltdown test, firing 2,737 rounds continuously. Despite significant barrel erosion, turning it into a 'smooth bore' at the ends, the rifle's gas piston system remained functional, and it continued to cycle. A notable failure was a stuck case with a ripped extraction rim, attributed to extreme heat. The test highlights the P416's exceptional durability under punishing conditions.

Quick Summary

The POF P416 endured a 2,737-round meltdown test, firing continuously. Despite significant barrel erosion turning it into a 'smooth bore' at the ends, the short-stroke gas piston system remained functional, highlighting its exceptional durability under extreme conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rounds did the POF P416 fire in the meltdown test?

The POF P416 fired a total of 2,737 rounds during the extreme meltdown test. This high volume of fire was used to push the rifle to its limits and assess its durability under sustained, rapid use.

What was the primary failure observed during the POF P416 meltdown test?

The main stoppage occurred due to a stuck case with a ripped extraction rim. This failure is often linked to extreme heat buildup, which can cause metal expansion and stress on the extractor.

What was the condition of the POF P416 barrel after the meltdown test?

After firing 2,737 rounds, the barrel showed significant erosion. It became a 'smooth bore' at the throat and muzzle areas, indicating substantial wear, though the center rifling remained visible.

Did the POF P416's operating system remain functional after the test?

Yes, despite the extreme heat and barrel erosion, the short-stroke gas piston system continued to function. The gas piston was still moving freely, allowing the rifle to cycle and fire remaining ammunition.
