This video details a rigorous durability test of the PLX weapon light, subjecting it to the recoil of a 9mm pistol, the heavy slugs of a 12 Gauge shotgun, and the concussive forces from an AR-style rifle's muzzle brake. The PLX demonstrated impressive resilience throughout the testing sequence, even surviving being blown off a tire by a rifle's muzzle blast. The instructor plans a long-term, year-plus torture test.

Quick Summary

The PLX weapon light underwent rigorous testing, enduring 9mm pistol recoil and 12 Gauge shotgun slugs. It also survived the concussive forces from an AR-style rifle's muzzle brake, even after being dislodged, and remained functional. A long-term durability test is planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

How durable is the PLX weapon light under extreme conditions?

The PLX weapon light demonstrated significant durability by withstanding the recoil of a 9mm pistol and the heavy slugs of a 12 Gauge shotgun. It also survived the concussive forces from an AR-style rifle's muzzle brake, even after being dislodged.

What firearms were used to test the PLX weapon light's durability?

The PLX weapon light was tested on a 9mm pistol, a 12 Gauge shotgun loaded with Federal Premium Law Enforcement Tactical slugs, and an AR-style rifle equipped with a muzzle brake.

Can the PLX weapon light handle the muzzle blast from a rifle?

Yes, while the initial muzzle blast from a rifle with a muzzle brake dislodged the PLX light, it remained functional after falling and was subsequently tested successfully when secured, indicating resilience to concussive forces.

What is the planned future testing for the PLX weapon light?

Following these initial stress tests, the instructor plans to conduct a long-term 'torture test' on the PLX weapon light, aiming for a duration of one year or more to further assess its longevity and reliability.
