Duration: 33:56

This video details a comprehensive meltdown test of the POF P416 factory machine gun, pushing it to its limits with over 2,700 rounds of full-auto fire. The expert demonstration highlights the rifle's durability, the effectiveness of its short-stroke gas piston system, and the eventual signs of extreme barrel wear. The test provides valuable insights into the operational limits of the platform under severe stress.

Quick Summary

The POF P416 factory machine gun underwent an extreme meltdown test, firing 2,737 rounds continuously on full-auto. It demonstrated exceptional durability without catastrophic failure, though significant barrel erosion occurred. Key features like its short-stroke gas piston system and heat sink barrel nut proved effective in managing heat and fouling during the rigorous test.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the POF P416 and what was tested?

The POF P416 is a factory machine gun tested in a 'meltdown' scenario, firing 2,737 rounds continuously on full-auto. The test aimed to assess its durability under extreme stress, focusing on its short-stroke gas piston system and barrel integrity.

How did the POF P416 perform in the meltdown test?

The POF P416 demonstrated remarkable durability, completing the 2,737-round test without catastrophic mechanical failure. However, significant barrel erosion occurred, turning the throat and muzzle into a near-smooth bore.

What are the key features of the POF P416 highlighted in the test?

Key features include its 10.5-inch fluted barrel, short-stroke gas piston operating system, and an oversized heat sink barrel nut. The E2 chamber system with minor flutes was also noted for aiding extraction.

What failure modes were observed during the POF P416 meltdown test?

The primary failure observed was significant barrel erosion due to extreme heat and friction. A stoppage occurred due to a stuck case with a ripped rim, a common issue under such intense conditions, despite the E2 extraction technology.
