DUDE... this video could have been 3 hours long and I would have watched every minute. Hearing from people who actually know and handle weapons that are into astronomical round counts is great.

[@Mrgunsngear]

agreed

[@OrangeAmped]

Do they (BF las vegas) have a KZbin channel or blog of their own? I feel like they totally should. It would be so valuable.

SCAR 16s @ 8:09 mark. "to be conservative the 200k round count"..." Only 2 parts replaced"..."IT never breaks ever"... Damn. SCAR is a Beast and a proven system. Thank you sir for the video review.

Mrgunsngear Channel does the Scar 17 hold up the same way? AWESOME video BTW. One of the best on KZbin thanks

[@nicolasvillamizar1795]

Have 17 and pound to pound way better than ar15 but big price

[@jafowler89]

​@bobbyclintbaldwin3839 I have had my 17 for a little over 10 years now I have shot the absolute hell out of it and not one part has ever failed on it. Of course I don't have 200k on it but at least 25k and it's just as accurate now as when I got it. It's also the cleanest gun I own it's weird it hardly gets dirty at all when I shoot it.

[@oawefajweee]

that's quite the praise for the scar

[@chrism6904]

The SCAR is one of the best rifles ever made. I've shot over 30 thousand+ rounds through mine (the SCAR 17) and haven't had a single failure. I love it... It's probably my favorite rifle, along with the MP5 and Thompson (haven't had any failures with those as well).

[@flatmatrix360]

I live in Vegas and we have many gun ranges near the strip, great video on just one of many kick ass places to shoot in Vegas. Many of these gun ranges get much of there business from foreigners who can't own guns or even see and touch a gun, because they are banned in there countries. So when these people come to America (Vegas) from Australia, Europe, Asia etc. many for the first time (maybe only time) they have the chance to FINALLY experience shooting a gun/guns they often see in movies and video games and they are totally blown away by the experience! Most of them even take there target sheets back home to show off and reminisce about there first time, probably only time, shooting a real gun. And for us 'lucky' Americans it's a great opportunity to shoot full auto weapons that we can't easily own. Great video sir!

[@Mrgunsngear]

Thank you

[@philthydelphia]

I add very few videos to my favorites list. This one by far is one of the more important ones on the list. What an enormous favor you've done for us.

[@mixflip]

I now have a new respect for the FNH scar 16. so happy to hear the Filipino guns have respect at Battlefield Vegas. great video bro.

[@JohnnyBoyCali]

Why do you have so much pride for a country that you and your family abandoned? I'm not trying to be rude just asking an honest question. My parents left South America in the 1960's and I was born in America. I dont see any logical reason why I would divide myself into a race team, wave the flag of the country my parents left and act so proud to be from a place my parents did not want to live in. If I thought that other country was so great , I would just move there. However you seem to be in love with the Phillipines, so the question remains why are you in America if the Phillipines is such a great place?

[@brianp3067]

I thought you were too busy absorbing the gun information to notice anything else

[@mixflip]

JohnnyBoyCali who said I have so much respect for a country my parents left? my parents are from California so I don't really know what you are talking about? as for the Philippines....I have no loyalty to the country itself. I like the culture especially the knife history and the newer gun history....and I don't see why that is an issue to anyone? As far as people leaving their country....I hate to break it to you but not everyone leave because they hate the life there. Some leave because they joined the US military and simply stayed where they were last stationed (like Hawaii).

[@FalovkaVista]

That clears things up on the AK's with stamped vs. milled receivers. I knew it. Milled master race.

[@therogueflieger]

heck yeah brother

[@realisrealite5554]

Both have pro's and cons.I only buy stamped and have never ever had a single problem.If you're shooting full auto (99% are not)get milled,if semi auto theres no advantage with milled.

Mainly what you get w a milled ak when you're shooting semi ,is better fit and finish, smoother action also the gun runs and shoots smoother, but stamped is just fine very very few ppl will shoot out a standard ak, that said I really do love the fit and feel and how smooth my sam7r shoots and runs it's a solid gun

Great vid. I just wish that you squeezed more information out of them. From the forum posts that I read, the Colt M4 has been the most reliable AR-15 at their range. Their bolt carrier groups have supposedly lasted over 60,000 rounds. In comparison, most other bolt carrier groups start to break at 20,000 rounds or less.

[@MegaScorpio43]

ontarioknivesNS7 That hasn't been my experience as I had one with over 17K rounds with no problems or breakages at all. Guide rod spring was starting to weaken but that's all. Also if that was the case they would have never got the military contract as they fired them well over 5K rounds and you can look those tests up.

[@556poor7]

Yes very interested in the M9. Great video though as normal I really need to head down there looks like a good time.

[@G19Jeeper]

+Steve austin you can look it up, it's a very real problem in the M9/92 series of pistols. I'm impressed you got 17k rounds out of a recoil spring, they're supposed to be changed out at 5-8k intervals so they don't literally cause the gun to beat itself to death. Look up Beretta locking block failure and see what comes up

Exactly

[@glock2119]

I believe he was talking about the work bench.

[@JohnnyBoyCali]

1.)an assemblage or combination of things or parts forming a complex or unitary whole: a mountain system; a railroad system. 2.)a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized scheme or method. "a multiparty system of government" Please learn English. A rifle is a system of parts forming one whole. Any process or whole thing can be a system. How you decide to brush your teeth is your own system. Every object made up of different parts is a sytem and those parts are part of that system. Its a way of organizing the parts of different objects and its correct English.

Why you call a rifle a weapon system? A weapon system is something like a phalanx on a navy ship. But maybe i am wrong.

[@TheseRightHereBitch]

You're wrong

[@Meeko1010100112]

I wasn't paying too much attention to that, but for like an AR, the lower is kinda the weapon, but it can mount many different uppers in all the different calibers and even different styles of operation, so I imagine he's calling the lower a system to mount all different types of weapons.

Great video and a great subject to cover! I'd love to see an extended video (1hr long) going in-depth with more guns and average round counts before the most common failures occur for particular weapons. In addition to part failures, it would even be more interesting to cover reliability and which guns are least likely to have a malfunction not related to a broken part. This would help to dispel many of the Internet and gun forum myths floating around.
