CAV-15 Dirt/Dust Test Camera 1

I elected to make this video after numerous internet debates.

Thesis: The AR15 is more reliable in desert environments than commonly believed.

The Test: 4 repetitions of burying the rifle and firing 30 rounds, Shoot the match with the rifle without cleaning, Bury in the sand one more time with dust cover open and fire 30 rounds

Results: No malfunctions.

Video from camera angle 2 will be uploaded once I get a program that can edit quicktime files.

I love the M16 platform of weapons. I've used it for 20 years no problems. Don't forget to test it with the port open, port side up, then put some dirt.

We already did, watch the video response.

The AR is reliable. Just not as reliable as an AK47 in extreme conditions. Overall the "looseness" of the AK which make it more durable in said extreme conditions is substituted for the more accurate and also more moving parts that can malfunction of the AR. So you can have superior accuracy at farther distances further than AK47s traditionaly will hit. Or, shoot anywhere,anytime,any conditions. Just not as far accuracuy wise. As for "putting up a video of my own" would being to war count?

[SinistralRifleman]

The test has nothing to do with combat, only that there is the perception that the AR15 cannot handle getting dirty. Please see my other video where we bury it dust cover open and run it over.

The fact the AR is a sealed system prevents as much debris getting into it to begin with that an AK can.

Next time do a REAL test. Finer sand like in IRAQ. Perhaps leave it buried for a couple weeks in said sand. Maybee it rains. Pull it out of the sludge and fire it. It won't. Expose a few moving parts next time as well. Get some in the magazine and behind the bolt. Then fire, it won't. The test AK47s have put through,in actual battle experiences dictate it's reputation and reliability. Find a rusted AK and put a couple drops of oil in the action slam it down and it will fire. Try that with an AR

[SinistralRifleman]

For that matter do your own tests and post the videos.

thanks for putting your personal property on the line in the pursuit of knowledge

PracticalTactical's comment is the most hilarious.

[ThermalSh0ck]

Oh yeah nice shooting course and I love the 1st person view during the end

@SinistralRifleman Keep making video's like these, and do a shooting with your Ar under water, trust me it works just fine I've done it over and over to prove the AR does not blow up under water like the Germanys on the H&K video rigged the M4 to blow up, so know every AK knuckle head is blabbering more stupid crap the M4 Ar blows up in water.

I'm so fed up with the Ak jerk wads blabbering over AR's jam they can't even kill a squirrel when their AK isn't some supper Russian hand held cannon !

@IronfistAmerican An ak-47 was primarily manufactured to spread communism, that meant the gun would be put in the hands of rebel fighters in jungle/desert shitholes of the world, where it could be hard to get replacement parts and cleaning it meant a bootstring and motor oil. The M16 family was produced to fight communism, short patrols, accurate fire and light weight. With modern technology though, both have become very accurate and reliable weapons.

@IronfistAmerican I think you have been sniffing way to much Glue vapors blabbing about how the AK is superior to the AR !

You do this same test on any AK or a AN 94 it will jam up so tight you will have to take the hole AK or AN 94 apart to clean it !

You need to watch the You Tube video AR vs AK dirt /dust test Dust cover open .

Anyone who is blabbing on and on how bad the AR is has never owned one plain and simple !

There are no more parts in ARs than the AK so that B.S is busted !

I did do a sks test about 15 years ago, but since cameras were the size of bazookas, difnt film, did pretty well,

[rogstur]

Would've been nice to see a sks in that test.

[oeyesea]

"but it jams everytime" said the poser

[jedikniht7777]

this is a good video. Can you tell me what brand upper was used on this rifle or what brands where used to build the upper. thanks.

[killslowly]

Awesome!!!
