This gun failure test ended in an unexpected way

A gun failure test is designed to see what it takes to stop a firearm's operation. This test was conducted by firing an AR on full auto going through several magazines, before the unexpected thing happened.

The gun didn't stop firing, but it did burst into flames. The test itself appeared to involve shooting the gun as fast as possible until it quit firing. Well, that didn't happen. Watch the video to see if you think this gun passed or failed.

The gun didn't fail, the front plastic handguard caught on fire.

Ak's will burn off their wood handguards too. Takes several magazines on full-auto, [about 10/ 300 rounds] which process can be sped up considerably by using 75-round RPK drum magazines.

How to remove AK wood handguards...well, one way to....
