    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.

      It would be nice if the tube that melts first was made to melt at an even higher temperature. Would be interesting if you swapped the polymer out for a metal handguard and maybe it would not catch on fire and heat up faster. It's good value no doubt but if you could stop it from catching fire

      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.

    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

    I got the same exact upper for $180. You cannot beat that kind of quality at that price. God bless PSA 🇺🇸

    I remember reading that some WW1 and WW2 machine guns were water cooled with tanks in the left and right side of the barrels.
    Also, they had fire proof gloves and extra barrels for a change out when the gun got too hot.

    Just fyi the PSA gun has a FN barrel that is to mil spec. Because I'm the quality tech at fn that makes the barrels for them and that is the same barrel that the military gets in a m4 m16. Good vids!

      cameron felkel so does this mean that FN makes a higher quality barrel with better materials for FN? & then makes a standard mil spec low quality barrel for psa?
