M4 Carbine Sand Test with FailZero AR-15 Bolt Carrier Group and Hammer Upgrade Kit

DefenseReview.com (http://www.defensereview.com) contributor Chen Lee a.k.a. "SMGLee" demonstrates the FailZero "AR-15 Basic Kit" in a desert environment. The demonstration weapon is comprised of a Colt LE 6940 16" 5.56mm NATO/.223 Rem. AR-15 carbine upper receiver mated to a full-auto registered full-auto lower receiver. In the video, Lee fires two magazines (2x28 rounds) through the weapon on both semi-auto and full-auto (burst fire) with absolutely no lubrication. After he empties the first magazine he pours sand over the weapon, shakes it off, and fires another 28 rounds on semi-auto and full-auto. The video is a bit over-exposed, but it's good enough for you to see the FailZero Kit in action.

Lame. plz leave the breech open and BCG locked back then pour sand inside the gun then shake off and fire for a REAL sand test. Every ar15 sand test video always keep the dust cover closed. Why? Becuz they know the gun will jam.
