It's not that I'm bent on it, complaining about something without a solution gets everyone no where. And I also don't disagree with your suggested change to the testing protocol. But they did it the way they did it with controls in place. I don't think it's something that should be ignored or since it didn't fit a pre designated series of testing protocols the information is useless. Heat is the worst killer of parts in a gun. All of it. Heat kills engines faster, and honestly I can't think of something more catastrophic in regards moving parts or firearms than heat/friction. It will definitely accelerate wear. I'm not disputing that. But again, I don't think this test is out of the realm of an actual scientific test. Maybe outside the realm of practicality, but the data provided and the lessons learned are relevant in my opinion.
