Great info...my dad served "the empire" pre, and during WWII as a Sgt. Major with the Cameronian Scottish rifles. They were stationed in the then, north-west frontier of India, now Pakistan. Patrolling the Khyber pass and surrounding country was their mandate. Pashtun tribesmen proved to be too much for the empire, they persisted in stealing explosives, planting them on the side of roads and trails, and killing foreign troops...sound familiar? The rifle of the day was the venerable N01MKIII. Now if we had more advanced weapons, and smarter leaders we could....oh wait...nah...forget it.

Would you be willing to test it to destru tion with factory ammo (remotely, of course)? Just see how quickly it either rattles itself apart, bursts, or just grows and stretches so much it stops working.
