M4 Carbine Sand Test with FailZero AR-15 Bolt Carrier Group and Hammer Upgrade Kit Video

DefenseReview.com (http://www.defensereview.com) contributor Chen Lee a.k.a. "SMGLee" demonstrates the FailZero "AR-15 Basic Kit" in a desert environment. The demonstration weapon is comprised of a Colt LE 6940 16" 5.56mm NATO/.223 Rem. AR-15 carbine upper receiver mated to a full-auto registered full-auto lower receiver. In the video, Lee fires two magazines (2x28 rounds) through the weapon on both semi-auto and full-auto (burst fire) with absolutely no lubrication. After he empties the first magazine he pours sand over the weapon, shakes it off, and fires another 28 rounds on semi-auto and full-auto.

The video is a bit over-exposed, but it's good enough for you to see the FailZero Kit in action.
