G36 900 Rounds Full Auto Fire Until Failure Test

This is one of HKs G36 Test videos showing Robert Hirt firing a standard production G36 Rifle. NOTE This was not a MG36 with a much heavier barrel You will see nine 100 round Beta C drums fired in 2 minutes and 42 seconds (372 RPM) with no failures. The handguard becomes too hot to hold around 500 rounds. He has to shield his eyes from the heat at 700 rounds and around 775 rounds the handguard catches fire. The front of end of the rifle is in flames from the beginning of the 8th drum to the last round
