M&P15 SPORT II MELTDOWN!

[@natturnerlearner167]

It went 13 rounds less than a free floated piston driven AR in the same test. I would say that's outstanding for a budget AR.

[@koreaface]

nat turnerlearner well he swapped some parts.

[@RickJamesGhostGuns]

@@koreaface He only swapped the bcg because a AR -15 bolt carrier won't trip a full auto sear so they had to use a M16 bcg for the test. And In a meltdown, the barrel and gas tube will fail way before the bcg anyway.

[@mannys9130]

You should always be worried about the gun blowing up. Always. Plenty of mistakes, accidents, and circumstances can lead to a failure. You should always be aware of the ammo and caliber you're firing, and the condition and behavior of the gun. You could accidently get .300 blackout mixed in with .223/5.56mm and have an explosion. You could have a cartridge that's too long and fires slightly out of battery causing an explosion. You could have a low quality reload with imminent case head separation, cracked brass, or over charging. If you have a .223 chamber, 5.56 NATO ammo is too hot and can cause problems over time. As for condition, you should inspect the gun before and after a range session and when you clean it. You might leave a bore patch in the barrel by accident after cleaning it. Next time you go to fire it, the patch has become a bore obstruction and the barrel may ring (at best) or explode (at worst). You should observe the behavior as you fire it. If the empty cases are swiped on the case head, cracked, have blown or severely flattened primers, punctured primers, etc you have big problems to sort out with excessive pressure. If you have what appears to be a misfire, and manually eject an empty case, you need to open the upper and remove the bolt to look down the barrel from the rear and make sure it wasn't a squib load. A squib means there was no powder in the case, and the primer was the only thing that pushed the bullet out of the case. The bullet travels an inch or 2 down the barrel and stops. If you simply chamber a fresh round and fire it, the rifle will explode. A squib projectile will destroy every single gun that experiences one if another bullet is fired into it. I'm not trying to scare you, but at the same time I am. I just tell all new shooters that we have a wonderful hobby/skill but they are tools of lethal potential and we have to be at our utmost alertness whenever we use firearms. Accidents can be deadly in the blink of an eye.

[@GTGallop]

Couple of favors / ideas to ask.... 1. My lever gun gets raging hot after about 5 rounds. While I know it isn't possible to melt down a lever gun (because it would take some insane engineering to make it full auto), could you do like a set of 5 rounds, 5 rounds, 5rounds, 5 rounds and show the barrel getting hotter on a lever gun? Again - less about destroying it but more about understanding how much heat one round generates and how heat moves through the gun. 2. On your AR melt downs, any thought to zeroing the gun and seeing how accurate it is, then bursting 200 rounds (or maybe 500) and letting it cool and checking for zero again to see what the impact is on the system? Then another 500 round burst and check zero again? 3. For those of us following at home, can you put a counter in the corner that increments up each time you dump a mag? I'm not talking a round for round count but 30, 60, 90, 120. I usually lose count about the time you strap in the snail. Thanks for all the great vids guys!

[@v.german11b]

Indeed, one of the most underrated, and one the best built, durable, and accurate AR-15 5.56 (at an affordable price for us, working middle-class Americans) is the S&W MP 15 Sport 2. "Gucci" rifles are expensive, however, truthfully speaking, most civilians do not need those fancy kind of accessorized rifles. Go Smith & Wesson M&P 15!!! 💪🏼😎🇺🇲

I also had already been training with the AR platform on our ruger 10/22 with the archangel 556 conversion kit. Surprisingly the AR-22 feels slightly heavier!

[@joesinegal8167]

Just think how well it would have done if it had an aluminum free float hand guard. I believe that the heat from the plastic hand guard accelerated the overall failure of the barrel. Pretty good gun for the price point.

[@joemo1033]

Joe Sinegal I've been trying to tell him this for the last 5 meltdown vids. He doesn't hear me. Let's test the rifles, not the handguards flashpoint.

[@joesinegal8167]

Hopefully he'll redo the meltdown as you've requested. Without the handguard burning and effecting the gas tube/ports, he maybe able to get a few hundred more rounds through it. It held up pretty well for the barrel being made from 4140 steel! They'll last a long time under Semiauto conditions. It's a great buy!

[@silentbob267]

Nothing wrong with 4140 steel several people have put well over 5,000 rounds through them and report that they are still running strong. As far as the factory hand guards I believe he leaves them on purposefully. That way it is a test of the upper in it's factory trim to give the people who will buy and use these rifles a better idea of what they could expect if they really felt like hosing some rounds through their rifle. If it melts after 2 magazines that would indicate it's a poor quality handguard. Looked to me like this one made it several hundred rounds before becoming a problem.

[@Foxbodystang87]

Yea I’d like to see if that makes a difference cuz I got the 15T model w quad rails.. I think the gas tube is a little bit longer too

[@CarbonGlassMan]

That is amazing. My dad had an old Colt in Vietnam with a rust pitted barrel When they would get back to the firebase to resupply with fresh magazines and ammo, they would all fire their old ammo into the jungle. He described his barrel as being red hot, the gas tube was white hot and it started cooking off rounds as they would chamber. So he hit the mag release, let it fire the round in the hot chamber and then laid the gun down to cool off. The barrel ended up drooping so he was issued another M16.

[@randystockton624]

I own MP sport 1. This sport rifle are just as good as the high end AR why do people think you have too spend 1500 dollars on an AR unless you are going into full time combat, you would have to be a real gun snob or just trying to impress other people to spend that much money or you just make a lot of money. Why do they say entry level AR? I guess you have too practice with a Cheaper AR before you earn the right to shoot a high dollar AR, why not just buy the more espensive one if that is goal to began with and not get the so called ENTRY LEVEL.

[@sodeepopkid6855]

[@sordidsentinel]

I know this is a 3 year old comment, but I was just telling someone the M&P Sport 2 is an excellent rifle, but I’d definitely recommend dropping an extra $30 and immediately swapping out the handguard for a basic Magpul one. The handguards S&W use on this rifle have literally no heat shielding - they’re just 2 plastic molds in the shape of a handguard that snap together over the barrel. But that’s honestly the only major complaint/flaw I can mention after having owned this rifle for about 5 years now - it’s been incredibly reliable, chews through every brand of ammo I’ve ever fed it without so much as a hiccup, has never given me any malfunctions or weird issues at all…. I know it’s considered a “budget” or “beginner” brand, but I feel no hurry to replace it anytime soon, and that says a lot about how much faith I have in it, considering I’d potentially bet my life on it.

[@lordbanhmi3389]

Purchased one of these as my first. Glad to see the amount of abuse it can handle. And then to hear him say it can be run like a bolt action, essentially, if you reach this point of meltdown..

I got mine close to 7 years ago almost by accident. I didn't care nuttin' 'bout rifles except my pristine looking 94 Winchester .32 which was gifted to me, blued in the 50s, and made around 1913. The greatest gun salesman at that time, Barry Soetoro, led me make my first and only AR purchase at a shot show. Adding a sling, Daniel Defense light brace and light, and a red dot unfortunately increased the weight of my Sport II. That's the only downside for me but I also haven't used it that much since I bought it. I also got an Anderson lower when I purchased my Sport II. I have yet to build another AR with it but hope to build a premium one that's very light.
