[@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.

Who needs shot placement when you can shoot everything

[@TheLibertyCompanyLLC]

That’s half true. With a 5.56 gun you really want to achieve fragmentation if possible. With a 16” and true m193 you can achieve it to around 100 yards. Entry level isn’t a bad thing. Colt set and standard and everyone tried to copy it for less. Some companies did very well and some companies surpassed them. Some companies only claim they surpassed them.

[@rascal0175]

Entry level is just one KZbinr’s opinion. This is a lot more rifle that the army issued me in 1969. It works right out if the box and you don’t need to play with it to make it usable or better.

[@RobotChampionSC]

Glenn Whitman I'm a long time enthusiast but this same model was my first AR...money well spent for sure. Welcome to the club btw...Free men own guns, slaves do not.

[@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.

Mr.Psycho The Torah prevents the jewish people from having their own state until the return of the messiah. The Bible’s before 1948 had maps labeled Palestine on them, and Jesus was a Palestinian. In Bethlehem today 80% of the population is Christian and 20% Muslim, and they’re from Jesus’s people. They’re Palestinian. Even when you watch Indiana Jones when hes on the plane it says Palestine on the map, and in any old movie you watch it says Palestine, even in Shakespeare Palestine is mentioned, the term Palestine was coined during Ancient Greek times you describe the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean. These are all historically accurate things. The state of Israel is an invented state that never was. There was never a thing as an Israeli people. There was the tribe of Israel.

[@fujimi715]

@@southernfried19 no. I also have a Daniel Defense M4A1. The barrel is much more durable to heat. The SW MP15 starts to lose accuracy after 3 mags. Start to miss the same targets on the 4th mag. The DD it accurate after 6 mags of heat and still hitting a 5in plate at 200m on thr 7th mag (last of a combat loadout) with M855 and M855A1

[@southernfried19]

@@fujimi715 In what scenario is a person going to shoot 37 magazines worth of ammo? It's all irrelevant. In a real-life scenario, these rifles are going to do the same exact thing. An enemy isn't going to know the difference between taking a direct hit to the heart or taking a hit 1/4 inch under it.

[@fujimi715]

@@southernfried19 I should explain the accuracy. I don't mean a minor shift in zero. I mean completely missing targets. 5in plate at 200m, 66% silhouette at 275m and full size silhouette at 350m. Both the MP15 and the DD have an Eotech and 3x magnifier. Easy hits on first mag. But with the SW I was not making consistent hits after the 3rd mag. With the DD after the 6th mag it was the same. That means a solider in a fire fight would miss an enemy at 350m. Well within the range of an M4. That's why a military grade rifle is 4150 CMV

[@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.

So basically this gun can blow through your full loadout, and two of your fallen buddies' loadout, nonstop on full auto before it breaks.

As of now there are 295 likes on this post. That means there are at least 295 S&W MP-15 2 owners. That’s almost $200,000 if you use the lowest price of $650. Hot damn S&W makes some great stuff.

[@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!!! 💪🏼😎🇺🇲

[@BSX_VR]

I’ve put 1000 rounds through mine in a day, with semi auto fire, this gun still works like normal. If you’re running this full auto, the results will be like this video. This gun will last you a lifetime.

[@egmjag]

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.

[@dalegribble1560]

Just picked mine up today! Suck it Pelosi, Feinstein, Schumer, Cortez, etc. I fear bought it because in Minnesota where I live they seem like they want to start following Commiefornia's example. By the way, Smith and Wesson has stayed in business this long for a reason!

This probably does go with out saying, this particular M&P did very well. You could do one tomorrow and the gas tube could go at 350. The thing I take from all of these melt downs, is exactly what Eric says. Even in worst cases, possibly fighting for your life, running semi auto, controlled aimed fire, you shouldn't be able to kill these guns.

[@ctdieselnut]

Just like manufacturers destructively testing products, you can learn a lot from wrecking a gun this way. What's the weakest link, what wears excessively, etc. Even though this is far from ordinary use, you just dont have the luxury of years of time of regular use to test durability on a new product. This wasn't a cheap vid to make, and I appreciate it. Hats off!

I laughed so hard when it lit on fire. Im so proud to be an American. Love the videos. Keep them coming.

[@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!

Considering full auto leaves near zero milliseconds cool down between rounds, I'd say in semi auto that gun would run ALL DAMNED DAY without 🔥 burning up.
