You just made the argument to not do these test. No pistol is made to work under these conditions so why do them? The thousand round test in minimal time is a better test using many different ammo types and heating the gun up to see if it can function the way it was designed. If it passes take it apart and look for wear and tear beyond what is expected in that firearm after a thousand rounds.

Thank you for the clarification. I had no issues and thought of a possible slam fire scenario. Safety is always #1.

I really appreciate MAC for always being patient with every viewer. A lot of work goes into making these videos and every now and then, there goes even more work into additional videos explaining things and pleasing the audience! Thank you MAC!
Don't feel bad Tim. I get the same thing when I talk about the failures of the AR-15 from when I first started shooting one and when I was in service. People hear what they want to hear. They think you speak for everyone. I do enjoy your videos.
Dont lose sight of the fact that the CZ EVO passed the element test with flying colors. Also, the exact cause of failure during the gauntlet phase is not known, (it might very well be a specific component failure of this particular specimen and not a general design issue).
I own one and I appreciate you for taking the time out to do a video on my gun I'm not getting rid of mine especially with the competition out there for pistol caliber carbine
Yup. It is entertaining. On the range I have seen many $1,000 guns fail for all sorts of dirt problems. One was caused when a magazine fell in the dirt shoved back in the pistol and 3 rounds later the slide locked upon the guy. It took a bit of work some blastoff and we finally got the slide cleared. No surprise. It happens. Tim keep up the entertainment. I love it, as I am an RSO and makes for great conversation and experience.
Mac PLEASE keep doing this Sorts of TEST because you have SAVED me a TON of MONEY and HASSLE because you have tested weapons that I was interested in and when you killed them or they malfunction with you it made me think twice about getting that particular weapon but I have also purchased weapons that have PASSED your Test and I have been VERY Happy with them! I will say that I did have Good luck with my Sig gen 2 556R rifle where you did NOT and I have had over 8K trouble free rounds! Right now I am trying to find a Sig 556R xi Pistol so I can SBR it but I am not having very good luck I did find a few SBRs but I do not fell like waiting a year for the Form 4 to come back since the form 1 are coming back in less than 90 days!

Wow, talk about a quick response! Don't own an Evo but I can understand why owners/viewers thought the testing could've still gone on. Thanks for clarifying things up.
Thanks for the quick update. I have a scorpion, still love the gun regardless. My buddy and I were talking about the video this morning, I ended up playing the video on the OLED so could see when the gun was on safe vs not. Lol. We are both big CZ fans. It's good to know the background about how you later realized your mistake, and can verify it was indeed inoperable, on safe or not.
Been watching your videos for years now. For entertainment and general knowledge value. Finding objective people these days is as hard as finding the needle in the haystack. Keep up the good work.
MAC keeping it real!!! Thanks for all the work! Telling it ike it is and some ppl get hurt by just putting a firearm into a non scientific test. Glad I’m a Patreon supporter so you can keep doing these gauntlets regardless of what some immature ppl think on RUclips!

When you did a gauntlet on what would be my primary carry gun the FN 509, I was disappointed it failed but it didn't discourage me from buying it. 4000 plus flawless rounds later it's one of the best purchases I ever made. As long as it's not submerged in water or dunked in mud it won't fail you. I have fired it in the pouring rain and no issues whatsoever. Gr8 vid as usual.🔫

Hello Mac, good work as usually. Weapon did as it did and its done:-). But you have to face one thing. Gauntlet test is now so popular and wide spread, its take as a Real test for lot of folks😃. And even when you repeat so many time its not serious, it is for lot of guys😉. Please continue in great work what you guys do.
I’m going to be honest there will always be people that will say a test is invalid if their favorite gun or guns aren’t doing as good as they hope. Just look at the comments on the Inrange AK mud test video. Nothing but people saying it’s not a true test because the AK didn’t pass it. The same has happened in EVO gauntlet test, still an awesome video
Tim, I always enjoy these videos and it will never hurt my "feelings" if my gun doesn't finish. I look at it his way: What exactly caused the stoppage, and what did he need to do to correct it? I call that sound advice!
I believe that you do the most objective and fair tests on you tube. I haven't seen any others come close to being as fair and impartial. Everybody is human nobody is ever perfect but it seems you try hard to be. I really like your channel because of that. Your testing is valuable to me and other consumers. I'd say keep doing the same thing plus I've been missing the gauntlet tests I think they're great. BTW Gauntlet = MAC (Tim). So don't cry if your gun fails. Try not to bury it in the sand and go to war afterwards. lol
Still love my Scorpion. Love my VP9 too. No big deal, and I'll likely never have them anywhere near the sorts of scenarios you put them in that caused them to fail. No need to get upset. Fun no matter what!
I am a fan of this weapon and many others. I appreciate the test you done and all the work you do to show us these videos. I am no expert by any means and yet even i know that sand can jam ANYTHING! The Marines taught me that. Keep doing the great work you do and i will remember not to stick my Scorpion in the sand next time i go to the beach!
I knew as soon as I saw the vid, I was like, "Uh oh." Lotta scorpion owners gonna get their panties in a bunch. haha. Note: My scorpion is one of my favs.
Blows my mind people freaking out. These videos are to show what CAN happen, not what WILL happen. I truly enjoy seeing the one in a million chances caught on video of weapons failing or breaking.
I own one. Im not upset. It really didn't do terrible. It breezed thru the elements test with no issues. Which it was designed for urban warfare so its common logic that it would pass the elements test. So no reason to get angry. It didn't do well in the gauntlet and it was upsetting from an informational standpoint. But thanks to you. I know in what ways I need to protect my gun. Thanks Tim. Great job.
Great video! I am a skorpion owner, do I think differently of this weapon? No. Am I going to be puting mine thru this? No. It is what it is, i think its a great weapon
I love my scorpion! Sunk some coin into it, but I understand what it is... a range toy. And a damn fine one, and a great suppressor host. Thats it. If there is serious work that needs doing, I would reach for the 12 gauge pump or a KS47 any day all day. Keep making interesting videos Tim and I'll keep watching. I love my CZs as much as the next guy... but seeing is believing. My scorpion will stay a toy.
I was in the Tavor Owners Group from 2013 for about a year. Great bunch of folks, we were all inexperienced with the platform, and we learned a lot from each other. By a year later it seemed like all the comments/questions were ones that we had already dealt with exhaustively by newbies to the platform. Just got so frustrating to answer the same questions over and over I dropped out. I don't see how you content providers can keep from smashing your computers.
Hi Tim, just passing to say hello and wish to you and your family my best wishes, especially for your mom who is a blessing to having her with you (yeap I'm also a "mother lover" as the host of another gun channel sayd... good moms should be immortal) 2020 in USA seems to go from crazy to insane, hope all of you stay safe and sound. Cheers!!
You do you, MAC. I dont mind these videos. Still love my CZ Scorpion Carbine. Out of all the guns I own, it's my favorite, because it's super fun to shoot, it's easy to shoot accurately and it handles so well. It has never failed on me and I have around 2000 rounds through it. I have a binary trigger on it and a 50 round drum mag. I've mag dumped it several times without issue. I dont plan on running it through the mud or sand. Even if I was carrying an AK I'd still do my best to keep it away from sand, mud or anything else that could potentially cause an issue if I was subjected to that environment for whatever reason.
While I was watching the gauntlet video I was thinking it wouldn't affect whether or not I bought a scorpion because how often would I be fighting through water sand dirt and mud.
Same here. I have a CZ Scorpion-K and it's an awesome gun, and definitely my favorite range toy. Its EXTREMELY reliable. Like MAC said, it happens. He could try the test again, and it may or may not do the same thing. Sh*t happens.
Lol, if anyone is getting that serious... that they forget you are making a great effort to provide great content. People need to chill and relax a bit.
MAC there was a saying going around awhile back "dont argue with people on the social media cause if you remember that kid in school that ate paste, thats who you are arguing with!!!" LOL keep up the great work & dont worry what others think!!! BTW i love my scorpion so far!!
The Scorpion cult is actually kinda scary, you pay $800 for polymer blowback PCC and then dump $600-$700 to get it "right" when you could have just bought a MP5 clone pre-rona. It's the worst performance per dollar PCC IMO.
People are so mental. I have a scorpion and love it!... Nothing MAC did in that video even came close to making me throw a tantrum! My response was "bummer" and then I moved on.
When I was looking for a small 9mm pistol I looked at the Scorpion when they first came out and didn't like it for the safety, and it didn't feel to me that it was a quality firearm. I purchase the MPX and paid just about double. That being said, I don't the my MPX would pass this test either... sand and mud... not so much. Thanks for the video.. Stump broke?
It's late but i think sand should be after dirt and mud for multiple reasons. 1 it's a larger particle size which means much more issues when it gets into your gun. 2 sand is typically a lot harder and more abrasive than dirt or mud, 3 overall lubricity is much lower. Mud is obviously lubricious and dirt given that it's a little most will typically be easier on guns.. finally inclusion of water with same likely helps the ingress of sand. I would wager you see more guns pass element test then pass the dirt and mud then unfortunately fail on the sand. With the sand going first they are kinda knocked down before they have a chance to walk.
water first .. it's water pretty standard. Second, dirt it's a small particle size and typically softer than three other elements. 3rd mud, it's the same as dirt but water as lubricity and allows penetration into smaller areas of the gun causing fouling and malfunctions of the smaller individual componets. Last sand. As sand is the largest particle size and hardest of the other materials. It will cause a hard malfunction jamming up the action of the firearm.
@@cr0ss0ut We've found that water kills some guns right off the bat (just wait until you see one of the PCC's we've done), then sand is the next hardest on guns (handguns anyway). Dirt is not as hard on guns as sand. Mud is saved for last as it almost always kills the gun (handguns). Initially the only thought we gave to the order was, water first because it should be the easiest and mud last because it should be the hardest.

Who among us would do any of these horrible things to our guns? Thanks to MAC for these tests, because nobody I know would do them.
Does accident count? Cuz if it does then I’ve dropped a rifle in a mud pit before.
You just made the argument to not do these test. No pistol is made to work under these conditions so why do them? The thousand round test in minimal time is a better test using many different ammo types and heating the gun up to see if it can function the way it was designed. If it passes take it apart and look for wear and tear beyond what is expected in that firearm after a thousand rounds.

I’m a Scorpion driver and loved your test. Hope our gun culture isn’t going Soy.
Keep up the great vids.
You may want to watch AK Operators Union's video. His torture tests are well-known and long-term.
Hi Tim, just passing to say hello and wish to you and your family my best wishes, especially for your mom who is a blessing to having her with you (yeap I'm also a "mother lover" as the host of another gun channel sayd... good moms should be immortal) 2020 in USA seems to go from crazy to insane, hope all of you stay safe and sound. Cheers!!
Thank you Tito!
You do you, MAC. I dont mind these videos. Still love my CZ Scorpion Carbine. Out of all the guns I own, it's my favorite, because it's super fun to shoot, it's easy to shoot accurately and it handles so well. It has never failed on me and I have around 2000 rounds through it. I have a binary trigger on it and a 50 round drum mag. I've mag dumped it several times without issue. I dont plan on running it through the mud or sand. Even if I was carrying an AK I'd still do my best to keep it away from sand, mud or anything else that could potentially cause an issue if I was subjected to that environment for whatever reason.
I still use and enjoy the Scorpion myself. These videos rarely change how I view guns.
no problem, love the tests. thanks
Mac, you're arguing with kids on the internet. Literally, KIDS ON THE INTERNET.
I'm 12, and what is this?
While I was watching the gauntlet video I was thinking it wouldn't affect whether or not I bought a scorpion because how often would I be fighting through water sand dirt and mud.
Lol who cares, I can’t believe people are getting upset by this. I have a scorpion and it’s my favorite gun.
Cant expect much from people nowadays, they will get offended and mad over the littlest, moststupidest things.
Same here. I have a CZ Scorpion-K and it's an awesome gun, and definitely my favorite range toy. Its EXTREMELY reliable. Like MAC said, it happens. He could try the test again, and it may or may not do the same thing. Sh*t happens.
If anyone was going to get butt hurt, it would be scorpion fan boys 😂💯
Please perform a test on the HK MR762, Scar 17, and maybe even the FN PS90
Fair play for getting back with an explanation 😎
Quick follow up. Nice work.
Only tried tugging on the charging handle for like a second before declaring it inoperable. Didn't even try mortaring it or anything.
If you really hated the Scorpion and wanted to make it look bad I don't think you would own 2-3 of them ;) Great video as always!
Picked up my scorpion for copper customs such a fun shooting gun
Greetings from Laredo Texas 🇨🇱
"Are you not entertained?!"
Macsimus
Man, that movie is 20 years old already?
@@magoid Yep, and still a masterpiece.
Like the canik tp9 I expected it to do better but I’m still gonna buy and carry one.
Now you should do a gauntlet with the PSA AKV, Tim!!
GREAT JOB
THANK YOU TIM!!!!
Lol, if anyone is getting that serious... that they forget you are making a great effort to provide great content. People need to chill and relax a bit.
Thanks Sir. I love the gun also but it is what it is. I love your gauntlet tests.
MAC there was a saying going around awhile back "dont argue with people on the social media cause if you remember that kid in school that ate paste, thats who you are arguing with!!!" LOL keep up the great work & dont worry what others think!!! BTW i love my scorpion so far!!
"You dun messed up, A-A-RON!"
I love this channel.
I’m ready for the M9A3 gauntlet test! Or M9A3 1000 round reliability test! When can we see that??
The px4 storm surprised me the most.
PLEASE run the PSA AKV through the gauntlet next!
The cz cult has been fully mobalised
As a card carrying member of the CZ fanboy club I'll opt for the AK-V to fulfill my PCC needs.
The Scorpion cult is actually kinda scary, you pay $800 for polymer blowback PCC and then dump $600-$700 to get it "right" when you could have just bought a MP5 clone pre-rona. It's the worst performance per dollar PCC IMO.
People are so mental. I have a scorpion and love it!... Nothing MAC did in that video even came close to making me throw a tantrum! My response was "bummer" and then I moved on.
Don't worry your fine ignore the haters. Great videos!
When I was looking for a small 9mm pistol I looked at the Scorpion when they first came out and didn't like it for the safety, and it didn't feel to me that it was a quality firearm. I purchase the MPX and paid just about double. That being said, I don't the my MPX would pass this test either... sand and mud... not so much. Thanks for the video.. Stump broke?
I wondered if anyone was going to go there.
Love ya vids, win or lose look forward to ya next one keep up the good work
we both know that with the brace on the gun will never fail
Thanks for you effort! You do so much for your audience, even the knit pickers. 😂 Think you’ll do a response about Modlight’s rant?
It's late but i think sand should be after dirt and mud for multiple reasons. 1 it's a larger particle size which means much more issues when it gets into your gun. 2 sand is typically a lot harder and more abrasive than dirt or mud, 3 overall lubricity is much lower. Mud is obviously lubricious and dirt given that it's a little most will typically be easier on guns.. finally inclusion of water with same likely helps the ingress of sand.
I would wager you see more guns pass element test then pass the dirt and mud then unfortunately fail on the sand. With the sand going first they are kinda knocked down before they have a chance to walk.
water first .. it's water pretty standard. Second, dirt it's a small particle size and typically softer than three other elements. 3rd mud, it's the same as dirt but water as lubricity and allows penetration into smaller areas of the gun causing fouling and malfunctions of the smaller individual componets. Last sand. As sand is the largest particle size and hardest of the other materials. It will cause a hard malfunction jamming up the action of the firearm.
@@cr0ss0ut We've found that water kills some guns right off the bat (just wait until you see one of the PCC's we've done), then sand is the next hardest on guns (handguns anyway). Dirt is not as hard on guns as sand. Mud is saved for last as it almost always kills the gun (handguns). Initially the only thought we gave to the order was, water first because it should be the easiest and mud last because it should be the hardest.
