Is the torture part of the video having to watch it? 
I suspect that one bit of stoppages was the one mag as the rest of them looked to have run fine.
Not sure how much of that gun is still Norinco though... quite clearly the stock is Magpul, the gas block is YHM flip-up, the flash hider also looks like YHM. The mags looked USGI and not Chinese.
Finally, I find myself asking why would you bother to try this with a semi-auto Norinco? Norinco makes a full-auto CQ-A which would have been more suitable for an endurance test like this. Certainly easier on the shooters.
LOVING the GI mag LULA station. Too bad they cost over $300 and too bad we can't have the 30 rd mags to take advantage of them
Finally, I shudder to think of what all that water-quenching would do to the accuracy of the barrel. I'm thinking it could start the chrome lining delaminating and/or warp the barrel to the point that POI could shift.

+1001 That was painful. 6 seconds of cool from that loader and that's about it. As far as torture tests go, could have been a lot better.

Did you see the guy at the end......... He was 'paintballing' the trigger!
Brutally slow mag changes......
I would have liked to see some before and after groups off the bags and a before & after borescope just to see if the 'water' portion did anything to the barrel.
It was entertaining, and you can FF the boaring bits, you don't actually have to watch them load up all the mags........

LOl this thing probably ended up on the EE soon afterwards.

I just picked this rifle up, but I don't think it is for me. Just test fired once then put back in the box. I never let it overheat, it was well cared for.
900 shipped. EMT preferred.

...is it useful torture if the information gained thereby isn't all that useful?
...looks like a real easy experiment; heat the barrel by shooting lots then slooowwwlly quench it, whoop-dee do. As others have noted, not lots of info here, just a rifle getting beaten, whatevs.
my 2 cents, tyvm.

hahaAs far as the test goes, it would interesting to see how many rounds it can fire with little lubricant and no water before it gets stoppages.
I agree with regards to the Maglula Benchloader.....pretty cool.........I also agree with the loading of the mags as well though.....zzzzzzzzzzz
