Alexander Arms is testing its weapon in hellish conditions

Online edition Weapon posted photos, which previously published the English-language blog "thefirearmblog.com". They are sealed test weapons employee of the American company «Alexander Arms», conducted at low temperatures.

In this case, two Hi-Lux Leatherwood Micro-Max B-Bot mini red-dot rifles are mounted on the short-barreled version of the Ulfberth semi-automatic .338 Lapua Magnum rifle.

12 watches were subject to temperature in -65 С˚. Then the rifle with the optics will be calcined to 180 С˚.

According to the company representative, "these tests are much tougher than those to which similar weapons and accessories are exposed to the US and NATO troops." Similar sights, for example, during the testing of the US military, cool only to minus 30-40 С˚

And why is the plastic on the sights not frozen?
Then the rifle along with the optics will be calcined to 180 C˚. That they want to burn and then shoot?

For the states and their weapons, this is "extreme" - they are not prepared for this, and for employees in the Arctic Circle - the norm (I mean low temperatures).

[crambol]

I answer. Because a thin layer of plastic quickly warmed up on both sides. For fans of the theory of thermal conductivity and diffusion, there are amusing Fick laws.

I understand and agree with this (drops are visible on the plastic), but ... but ... but ....12 watches were subject to temperature in -65 С˚. Then the rifle with the optics will be calcined to 180 С˚.
Considering that the "desk" is mattress-like and the temperature is most likely in Farengateyt, it follows that they were cooled to about -50 ° C and heated to + 80 ° C.

1. The cartridge will not freeze if it is wiped dry before freezing.

Genetically, brave !! According to the drum, this is called physical properties or it is possible only in a prepared chamber with drained air.
Or maybe WD40 sprinkle ??

As always, "scribblers" will not understand the essence, just to write something like that. 10-15 years ago, because of such people, in space the hatch ø 1 meter "turned" into a hatch ø 3 meters (the message was on TV channels of the Russian Federation, on different channels in different ways)
+180 С ° - temperature for terminators. Try to heat up to +80 ° C, pick up and shoot for a start.

Here they wrote articles about the fact that Russia is fighting with other powers for the Arctic, returns its troops there and prepares various equipment and weapons to work there.

But apparently you didn’t dop (I won’t joke about the brain, it’s not enough) that the United States can test weapons for the same purpose.

[avia1991]

No, and are not going to
experts believe that it will be cheaper to bring minerals from the moon than to get them out from under many kilometers of ice. In addition, since 1991, according to the agreement, if I am not mistaken, in Munich, the development of mineral resources in Antarctica has been banned for 50 years ..

[Aleksey_K]

Why fight so far? In Russia, in the regions of Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon, the temperatures are constantly the same and even lower, to -80 degrees centigrade., Drop. So this weapon is intended for the conquerors of Russia. How to fight, if in Russia their conventional weapons do not shoot, jam.

[sandrmur76]

Alexei, do you know that the Germans are in the Second World War. used and wasn’t better than SVT 40 even when they were capricious. Watch for weapons, including lubricated ones.

[Viktor Kudinov]

You never know where on negligence the American puts a rifle. For example, a hot battery. Or suddenly the rifle becomes hot from firing, but this should not affect the scope.

[_Serg_]

It seems they are going to hell. Apparently there are US embassies in hell, so let Satan wait for the Maidan.

[Barmal]

due to the small volume of the lid, they warmed up while the weapon was in the room and frost froze from them. If they also shot without getting out of the refrigerator

Where's the sand weapon test? Can't stand it? Apparently p_ndosovskoe weapons with frozen sights will never reach the level of reliability AK

1. The cartridge will not freeze if it is wiped dry before freezing.
2. About genitals - a curious analogy. The fact is that in brass (sleeve), the temperature coefficient of linear expansion is one and a half times greater than in steel (barrel). So when freezing, the reduction in the size of the sleeve should be much larger than that of the barrel. But this is before the first shot.

Heating and cooling is not a symbol of reliability. We in Russia are still experiencing the fall, water and sand.

Do you see what temperature it is?
It's just that moisture does not condense on plastic as much as on metal, so the rifle is covered with hoarfrost, and the plastic has not had time.

[sandrmur76]

red-blue to each their own colors But although it is too late, plastics do not have such temperature accumulations as metal. Therefore, there is no condensate. No offense

And they will fight with them in the daytime conditions of Mars and the night conditions of the Moon. Extreme testing for small arms is of course needed. But it would be better if Iraqi sands, this is more relevant for mattresses ...

[Aleksey_K]

It’s impossible to fight with any earthly weapon on Mars or the Moon. It is necessary to make other sights and shoot them and the weapons are different. There are no such weapons yet. In conditions of reduced body weight of a person and weapons and a discharged atmosphere or its absence, even the Americans did not shoot, because on the moon it is dangerous for the astronaut. A bullet easily flies around the moon and falls back into the astronaut and how many times it flies around the moon. How long to wait for a code bullet will fall into the ground? So you can damage a spaceship.

[Massik]

these tests are much tougher than those subjected to similar weapons and accessories for US and NATO forces

Can I dunk in liquid nitrogen and throw in a fire?)
What do they have covers for optics from? Judging by the pics, the foxfire quickly warmed up from room temperature ...

[massad1]

they just sprinkled with flour forgot as sights

[talnax7]

such tests have been carried out over AK, for a long time. But what do the bourgeoisie want to say?

[Mama_Cholli]

They want to say that infa about hell is out of date and it’s very cold there ... Russian gas has been turned off ...

[APS]

Why do this?
If only in interplanetary wars with aliens to fight ...

[Denis]

Fun, if not show off. When -65 they were going to storm Oymyakon or found oil in Antarctica?
People are fighting, but the British, but the same heroic special forces during exercises in Norway with -20 have problems with diapers
So who should live in the North?

[aleks 62]

but the same heroic special forces during exercises in Norway at -20 problems with diapers .....


....... Freeze ???? ....

[Denis]

Quote: aleks 62

.... Freeze ????

Not so much freeze as howls, soldiers, their mother-moth

British soldiers were unable to withstand the Norwegian frost.

Norwegian Lt. Col. Trond Thomassen
At Norway’s northernmost military base in the town of Porsanger in the Finnmark region, the British Marines refused to perform combat training missions due to low air temperature. Her Majesty's subjects said that they could not train in conditions where the temperature drops to minus twenty degrees.

The base commander of the Norwegian base, Lieutenant Colonel Trond Thomassen, justifying the British soldiers, explained that they have a special attitude to health and safety. They sit in the barracks and flatly refuse to undergo any kind of professional training whenever the thermometer drops below eight degrees.

Complicating the situation is that in such a frost, soldiers cannot use diapers that are given to them during long exercises due to the impossibility of putting toilet stalls in forests, in the mountains and in other rough terrain. As soon as the urine cools, the genitals begin to freeze, and in two soldiers the genitals literally froze to the inside of the disposable diaper. The British soldiers were not able to pour into a snowdrift, as ethnic Norwegians still do, the young generation lost these skills.

Now they’ll pull in a miracle gun to vassalopartners somewhere ...
PS And in the text the results of the shot after all product misadventures are deliberately not disclosed ??? or just optics did not crack?

[Barboskin]

To experience this, along with the arrows, they will prepare the weapon, and the arrows will freeze. Something wrong.

[Aibolit64]

Something madam is easily dressed for -65. Or is she heated.

[KOMA]

It’s just that every schoolboy here knows that after a nuclear explosion, the machine gun needs to be held on outstretched hands, so that the hot metal drops would not spoil the official uniform!

[Same lech]

It seems that the armies of the WEST are preoccupied with the preparation of the war in the ARCTIC .... And they will carry out the corresponding tests of weapons at subzero temperatures.

[Dezinto]

Ponte - Fun - Americans!

Minus 65 ... then plus 180 ...!? Well, what is it for? Yes, just advertising. Mattresses have proven schemes for pushing goods.

You can freeze to death but you can still shoot from our rifle! Eeeeeeee !!

For super cops

[Same lech]

but this joke is bad .... one hit is enough without any show-offs.

What are the parameters tested then? Will they not crumble when shooting in the cold? Just in the photo, this lady is clearly not using the scope. Yes, and the rifle itself without bipod to use somehow dumb ...

[gladysheff2010]

I wonder what planet aggression against Aboriginal people is coming? A serious temperature spread!

[JonnyT]

alarm bell. For the time being, all American weapons suffered from a drop in accuracy and an increase in dispersion due to exposure to low temperatures. If the Americans correct this defect, I’m afraid they will have a sacrifice in front of us in small arms.

[boris-1230]

When in the early 80s the French who came to Lake Baikal were asked: "What struck them the most in Siberia", they answered that these were people who drank beer and eaten ice cream in a 30-degree frost! And in the army, in the 30-degree frost, we ate alcohol with snow! We cannot be defeated!

[Black]

Our Arctic does not give rest.

[MolGro]

-65 C˚ and +180 is that ??
Hmm

[Svetovod]

Interesting - what batteries on the sights?

And the plastic of the covers seemed to burst - you need to see pouring from tight silicone.
Well - work in such trials is a mark of quality.

[Dezinto]

I understand our kolas were tested - a couple of kilometers along the coast - sea water and sand in all cracks, and then shot. Adequate check. And this ...

Well, send this rifle to the moon and shoot there.

[Mama_Cholli]

... and this is not a test, this is an advertisement. Nobody stole this weapon, or shot so that it swore through tears. Then making holes in the target with a finger. (apparently that's why the woman is a test, not a man)

[awersa]

And to hell with them, in 1987, even from a simple Kalash with NSPU at minus 32 in the Far East they shot for 2 hours, 28 horns emptied short, and everything fell fine, but these warriors are weak?

[Velizariy]

For a full test, you need to drop it from the roof of at least a two-three-story skyscraper and ride a rifle on a ravings

[hellriker]

No way penguins are going to bring democracy.

[Berg berg]

And the tests were carried out very simply! Using a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher, they cooled the rifle and pretended to be frozen, so the plastic covers did not freeze! I took such pictures, different thermal conductivity. After the fire extinguisher they do not have time to freeze. You can try it yourself!

[mivmim]

Pin..dos without show-offs, as without bread. Chegozh she does not aim to water? Would put a cheek, took aim.

As Petka explained to Anke that the machine gun Maxim has the same cheeks. This is someone who explains the fool.)))
She probably never tried swinging her tongue at -10, but here are such possibilities.
And by the way, as with make-up for blacks in the Antarctic. tested or not? Probably the data is classified, only polar bears know.

[boris-1230]

And what is watered and not visible, because after the first shot the barrel would begin to thaw!

[Vladimir 686]

In the course of the trunks for the war on the Moon. The question is dirt and sand, how do they withstand? Stupid conscript of a week service life? How many minutes can this unit shoot until the barrel bends? How often should I clean it? Test for impressionable suckers. And let's get it with AK- 47 compare? And what about the sight? What for the sight is steep? In the battle from 50-30 meters fire from the trenches.

[Mama_Cholli]

There is no dirt on the moon. American astronauts know for sure. In addition, a shot from such a machine gun on the Moon can turn a cool ganner into an eternal companion of the Moon itself.

-65 this is only in Oymyakon, maybe they gathered there? It is possible, but without machine guns and only with a pickaxe!

[duchy]

I wonder what kind of sight it is? double or what? And if a fly sits on the glass of one of them? At 10 km. aim? Where's the suit? And what kind of rag on the butt, gasket or what?

And why are such weak tests ??? For a long time 30 used sights with a range of +, - 300 degrees!

[Major_Vortex]

Is this office under 6,5 mm Grendel releases ARs? And then a couple of days ago this cartridge was admired in the topic about the AK-12. Under .50 Beowulf also Alexander Arms releases automation, if not mistaken.

... Yes, they are exactly:

[Andrea]

Would pass the standard tests for the "Kalash", then we can say, wow! Will it pass the impact tests, sand, water?

[Vyacheslav 64]

And what does she see in these sights, are they covered with hoarfrost ??? :)

[Strashila]

And what do they want to surprise ??? The laws of mechanics and thermal expansion ... and nothing complicated.
But the cartridges were the same cooled to -65 and the same up to 180 degrees they will pour ...
Or maybe another extreme ... to test in Siberia ... when it’s a plus during the day, and minus at night ... I remember some kind of sniper rifles and under such not very confused conditions they stopped shooting.
Actually tested the sights ...

[Rocket]

Preparing for the invasion, by the night. Let them just turn up.

[TECHNOLOGY]

Tests in Russia are worse.

[Bogranz]

And I wonder why the frost looks so different on the AK after -50 and on this rifle after -65 ???? And in general: the frost on the rifle is real or cinematic like a "cyborg" (post from 17.14) ???

[Starmos]

"These are the wrong bees, and they have the wrong honey!" Campaign, pure fake, these are their "tests".

[tomcat117]

"The products were exposed to a temperature of -12 C˚ for 65 hours. Then the rifle together with the optics will be calcined to 180 C˚."

Interestingly, what will happen to the shooter if he is "calcined" in a place with optics up to 180 С˚?

[Dwarfik]

Hoarfrost doesn’t look entirely believable, and there’s a good question for PR people, why shoot where people don’t live!

[sv68]

interesting how a lady in such clothes could withstand such a temperature difference? Who is her feather oh warmed?

I am more concerned with another question. Judging by the video, his return is not small. Is this unit not for the exosuit? Bolters are getting closer and closer
