This video details an extreme durability test of the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 pistol, pushing it to its limits through various destructive methods. Despite being thrown, submerged in mud, struck with a baseball bat, hit with birdshot, subjected to direct flame, and run over by a bulldozer, the M&P 2.0 remarkably continued to function through most tests. The pistol was only rendered inoperable after being directly shot with a .45 ACP round.

Quick Summary

The Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 endured extreme durability tests, including submersion, impacts, flame, and a bulldozer. It remained functional through most abuse, only being rendered inoperable after being shot directly with a .45 ACP round, shattering its frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

What extreme tests were performed on the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0?

The M&P 2.0 was subjected to being thrown, dragged through mud, submerged in a pond, struck with a baseball bat, hit with 12-gauge birdshot, exposed to direct flame from a propane torch, and run over twice by a Caterpillar bulldozer.

Did the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 survive the destruction tests?

Remarkably, the M&P 2.0 continued to function through most tests, including submersion, impacts, and even after its polymer frame melted and deformed. It was only rendered inoperable after being shot directly with a .45 ACP round.

What was the final method used to destroy the M&P 2.0?

To definitively destroy the M&P 2.0, it was shot directly with an HK Mark 23 chambered in .45 ACP. This final impact shattered the remaining frame and trigger bar, rendering the firearm inoperable.

How did the M&P 2.0's polymer frame hold up during the torture test?

The polymer frame showed significant damage, including separation, cracking from impacts, and severe melting and deformation from direct flame. However, the internal chassis often remained intact, allowing the pistol to function.
