Arisaka torture test

I don't know if you watched the video, but they say at the beginning that the rifle was donated to them for this purpose. Also they were trying a few things from Hatcher's notes on the Arisaka.
It seems to prove that if you accidentally over charge a reload, or put a modern high pressure round in it, your not going to die. From Anti's to Fudds, there is some 'propoganda' out there that milsurps are "too dangerous to own" due to age, weak production methods, rusting in storage, modern rounds being too much C.U.P. and other crap. Yes, there are some that were meant for Cordite or black powder charges, but not as many as some people say.
I guess, it comes down to proving idiots wrong.
Those guys have officially graduated to being IDIOTS. The full-trim Type 99 rifles re perhaps the fastest growing rifles in the US at the moment wrt value. That one looks like it started out as a pretty nice example.
With all the 99 sporters out there, why destroy a good one? Frankly, we all knew they couldn't blow it up, ringing the bbl on purpose and then shooting the gun with M2 ball just proved to me that these guys are far, far dumber than I thought they were - and I already thought they were pretty clueless.

While I find these videos interesting, I agree that ruining a full trim milsurp like this is a waste. There has to be plenty of Type 99's out there that have been sportered beyond restoration and would make a far better candidate for something like this.

i guess you guys did not pay attention to the vid this gun was donated to eric for this eric did not go out a pick up a 99 to test
Ya, I noted this earlier. Either way it was a good vid. I liked it. I just can't wait for them to do a K98k Mauser. Look out then.
donated or not, doesn't matter...
These morons destroyed a perfect rifle and didn't achieve anything, which was not known before.
Or did you guys not know, that 40grs of H110 in a 7.7 Arisaka round is a rather stiff load?
Or to plug the bore then fire a full power load, what did you imagine would have happened?
Finally, they shot the poor thing with 30-06 out of a Garand, that must have been the highest degree of Hillbilly science.
What a waste!
I don't understand. People are not free to test/destroy there own property? I found the video both fun and informative.
Free to? Yes. You are also free to do things like sky dive without checking your chute, have ### with wh@res without a rubber, and bang heroine up your arm in Amsterdam - what's your point?
Maybe these learned men should make videos about doing those things too?

Just because you are free to do something doesn't mean you aren't an idiot for doing it.
