Mud Test: Mattel Death Trap! (The Vietnam Era AR15/M16)
This video pits two Vietnam-era AR-15 variants against a mud test, directly addressing common misconceptions about their reliability, particularly in contrast to AK-pattern rifles. The featured firearms include a Colt SP1, presented as an "original deal" with period-correct features, and a Troy GAU-5/A/A commemorative replica. The content aims to debunk "common knowledge" that falsely attributes failures to the weapon's design rather than specific operational circumstances. The creators highlight the potential for propaganda surrounding firearms testing and emphasize that their tests focus on mechanical function during specific events, not overall platform merits. The video also links to previous AR-15 and AKM mud tests and a Patreon page.
