Special thanks to our friends at Quiet Riot Firearms in McDonough, GA for providing the M16 lower for this video. In this Meltdown, we take an entry level upper from Palmetto State Armory and shoot it full auto until failure. It's very interesting to see how various levels of quality in the components really make a difference in these tests. Stay Tuned, much more on the way.

[@toddk1377]

@@user-ll9hb3sd8h I understand, but these are not machine guns...full auto yes, but they are fired in bursts, not long continuous full auto fire. I know many vets and active military members and while the idea of full auto sounds good and fun, which it is on the range, is not much if any advantage on the battlefield. There is a reason why they train Marines in marksmanship, an accurate shot is far more effective than just sending 20 rounds down range and hoping for a good hit, if that makes sense. The full auto feature definitely has it's place, but it's one of the options and not the only option for a reason.

[@johnnjen5118]

So the cheap upper fell 200 rounds short of a high end. That's amazing because most people will not abuse their rifles like this. Rifles have come a long way.

@@mattm1925 come on man LOL a full auto bolt CARRIER (no such thing as full auto bolt) doesn't make a firearm designed for full auto. Even if you had the full auto bolt carrier, hammer, trigger, selector, and disconnector, you would still have to mill metal out of the lower and drill a third hole to install an auto sear.

[@sandervanduren2779]

Caleb Rogers the original commenter said that the upper was not designed for full auto. He said nothing about the lowers.

Caleb Rogers let alone have one rare and expensive. but yea i wish i had a full auto bolt carrier 😂

Him "clearing" the stuck round/stuck charge handle by smashing it on the table is def some kinda expert military training he learned. 🤣 Great video really enjoyed it. 😁

[@StarHunter28]

it's called mortaring your rifle

[@jeffreyrush521]

That’s how it’s done when you have a round rodded. It could cook off at any time, the alternative is to use a cleaning rod to push it out but with a hot barrel, mortaring it is the safest choice.

I bet that no joke you spent more on ammo than the gun itself

[@WJS774]

That depends on what kind of ammo he was shooting. A $250 upper for 440 rounds works out to about 57¢ per round. I think you could spend more or less than that, although I wouldn't expect him to use the good stuff for a meltdown.

[@mensb1936]

[@coryboy345]

440 rounds of 55 grain American Eagle 5.56 will go for about $140. A palmetto state armory rifle can be build for no less than $360 with a cheap anderson lower. So no, not even halfway.

The fact that it's 100 degrees outside and not cold like it's been for some of your other AR meltdowns, probably also played a part to how quickly the gun heated up

Runs with models 2x and 3x the price, which very few people actually need. Chances are, PSA will shoot better than 90% of their owners anyway.

A meltdown of a 20" hbar m16a2/a3 would be an interesting test. The gas system bleeds off farther down the barrel and dwell timing would be better. I think it would last a fair time

yes, because as a soldier you usually don't carry more than 150 rounds for the rifle with you. when you're done with those, there's your sidearm with 45 rounds of 9mm left, but after that you can only hope support is on it's way.

[@mrhellotherehowareu1384]

TheWolvesCurse the majority of soldiers do not carry a pistol. They simply do not have the matching number of pistols to outfit each soldier with one. The standard loadout is 240 rounds 8 mags + 1 mag in the rifle for 270 rounds total. You might get a pistol if you’re a saw or corpsman

[@TheWolvesCurse]

@@mrhellotherehowareu1384 depending on country. during my mandatory servicetime in the bundeswehr we had preparation training for deployment to afghanistan. we trained with all the equipment we'd have to carry when over there, which included a g36 with 5 mags (equalling 150rounds) and a H&K P8 with 3 mags (45 rounds). that's where my comment came from. i don't know what the actual loadouts of german troops in afghanistan were, because i wasn't there, but this is what were told in training, would be our equipment.
