Use this as a “do sand next” button

Aks: "We were built for ice", ARs: "We were built for random shit, in warm climates", and M14s: "I'm too old for this shit".
-
That Block II ejecting brass through a smoking hole in the mud was straight up magical.
-
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that he could have taken off the attachments to make the cleaning process easier but he kept it on for some odd reason
-
I don’t even thinks thats that ridiculous. Imagine you are tactically running in the woods, and tactically tripping over a tactical branch into tactical mud.
-
Incoming Reddit posts: “Where does garand thumb get his mud, it looks cool and I wanted to get some for myself”
-
I love how the AUG made a little 'ploop' into the mud like the fish it is.
-
Nothing was gained by keeping all those beautiful optics on 😢
-
Garand Thumb: "Just no way, there's too much mud man!" SR-15: "And I took that personally."
-
Next on GT, will these rifles work with ravioli in their action? - lol preparing for war when it’s sunny with a chance of meatballs.
-
I think the DI M4/AR platforms did so well cause the gas pressure in the receiver helped clear the mud from the ejection port. Most of the piston guns struggled to do so.
-
Aug performed really well in both tests so did fnc. Honestly very interested in the Aug after seeing more vids. Very proven rifle and well designed.
-
Testing different platforms reliability when in different elements is a really good video idea and id love to see more
-
The Galil firing while not being full into battery is both impressive and absolutely terrifying
-
He has a full line up of really nice rifles. I can his anxiety of mud testing them. Now with that many rifles he must have a special truck rack to bring them put there.
-
Almost like the AK works in Siberia and the m16 worked in Vietnam lol
-
I like how the AK's loose clearances allows the action to knock out any solid ice inside, but allows for liquid mud to enter and make a mess. While the AR's sealed design is better for sealing itself up against mud, but the tight nature of the design means that it can hardly move around once clogged up completely by frozen ice.
-
judging from the ice test, mud test and sand tests from other YT channels i have come to the conclusion that if you find yourself in a war zone and you have a choice between an m14 and a rock your chances of survival are better with a rock
-
Mike you must really love us. I could never do this to any of my rifles. Thanks for taking one for the team! The results of this were indeed surprising. Seems like the tighter tolerances of the AR platform were actually an advantage for the mud along with the close bolt. The looser tolerances of the AK along with all that bolt and piston mass were an advantage for the freezing test. Very interesting results!
-
Hey Grand Thumb, thanks for the knowledge. Love the channel. Do you think you could do the same tests with sand?
