In this video we run a Patriot Ordnance Factory P416 until it fails, or doesn't. The P416 is a factory machine gun for military and LE use, however POF offers the P415 which is a standard semi-automatic rifle built to the exact same specifications as what is shown here. Lets just say you are going to want to stick around and see the results, we set the bar pretty high with this one for future meltdowns.

Archeologists 1000 years later, “there must have been a huge battle in this area”.
But oddly one-sided.
The OPFOR must have been using plasma rifles.
@Aj Fioritti don't have a "meltdown" over it😉
Hahaha, great thought
2 juggernauts went at it here.
Hahaha, 666th like!

I've got an AR build, and it actually uses the Custom P416, super nice gun.
Or literally any random tank
Or any random npc😂
this is so accurate lol XD

As a proud owner of a P415 Edge in 300 BLK, I was in in tears by the end of the video with a huge smile on my face. Thank you Frank DeSoma and rest in peace sir.
RIP indeed. We miss him.
oh he died?@@pofusa

This man single handily caused the great ammo shortage of 2021
Eric "ok we're just gonna run one more mag"
Runs 10 more mags
I do that at the rains all the time LOL it's only about a 20-minute drive from my house. So I might just go there on a whim.
I think he said "How about a combat load" or something like that, think he meant like a normal amount of ammunition for a combat situation
2016: "sick work bro"
2020 ammo shortage: 😭
this exactly, brining tears to my eye in 2020 lmao.
awesome gun tho
I cant find 556 or 223 no where
RIP 556 ammo
My thoughts lol
Most of the ammo is in the homes of panic buyers so you might wanna go rob some homes and try to make it out alive with some ammo.
Frank is still smiling from above. He made a helluva weapon. RIP POF visionary Frank Desomma
Visionary who imported the weapons from Pakistan Ordnance Factory , made in Pakistan 🇵🇰 and replaced the butt stock bolt cover with USA printed on it and maybe a little bit of funny colour on the weapons LOL all POF weapons are imported from POF Pakistan Ordnance Factory from Pakistan made by Pakistani military LOL
@@Alpha-vn9em Take your meds.... ASAP
@@Alpha-vn9em You mean Patriot Ordnance Firearms? Yea it’s the US that made it
@@Alpha-vn9em wth??? Lmao Patriots ordnance factory is American
So who was right abt this? Is POF pakistan ordiance factory or not? It sure seems to be.
Eugene Stoner: I've designed the platform to have a fail safe.
Frank Desomma: Eugene's fail safe is dumb
What was the intended purpose of the gasblock failsafe? To prevent more catastrophic failure like a chamber explosion or something?
@@etheretherether to create a true weak point in the gun that is more likely to fail than anything else. If the gas tube fails, you're still in the fight, you just basically have a bolt action.

Lol
And unjamming every third round
Legend says they still shoot all there ammo out of it. Still going.

Bro that is made in Germany is not USA the son of the bitch is jealous why hi can't melt it down
After 1000 bulits shooting
And to beee completely fair hi should clean the dirty inside and continue
@@musatoci3477 thats HK 416, this is POF 416. POF is USA-made I guess they just use the same model from the HK.
First saw the POF Revolution 3 years ago and was afraid to get it because of the proprietary parts. Bought a ton of crypto and made $3k during the GameStop craze and could finally afford my AR10. The more I see of this thing, the more I feel like I just need it.... cause reasons. RIP Frank DeSomma. You were an awesome guy, and you changed the whole game. Picture of him is going on my garage wall
Picked one up last year. Fit and finish is just a cut above, never a stoppage outside of a bad 10 round PMAG out of the plastic that was immediately retired. I've put about 500 rounds of M80 ball and a few boxes of match ammo through it and have been blown away by the light recoil and accuracy (even M80 is acceptable within 400 yards!). Highly, highly recommend
Holy smokes, I was sold about 5 mags in. This was just just freaking brutal, and I’m impressed with the quality.
Reported for cruel and unusual treatment of an innocent AR
Gun lives matter!
lmao@@1abcrr1
Hahahahaha very nice 👍
Voided the F@@k out of the warranty.
better buy an ak
I'm here to honor Frank. This video is a testament to the dedication he put into his machines. RIP Frank Desomma 🙏
Yes RIP, I really wanted an autograph from him. I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago got it in today.
Yes. I hope they get the bastard who caused the accident. He didn't even stop to help Frank DeSomma.
Crazy thing that John Noveske also passed in a car accident
@@element7us very odd

Thank you for making these videos you have inspired me on what I want to do in life. I have watched about 4 of your meltdown videos and I have seen that all these guns are built with outstanding quality and made me want to design and create something that is top notch in quality and works top notch and have it better than all of the other competitors. Thank you so much for inspiring me!
Eric:how about a full combat reload?
The Earthworm:Oh shit here we go again
Eric:Yes
"I think I'm starting to know how Rambo feels!" You sir, just fired more rounds of .223 in 30 minutes than the average AR owner does in a lifetime. Quite impressive.
Yay . im above average at somethong .... Lol
Andre McGoo / Yeah, then you aren’t average.
@Andre McGoo dam you're dumb
Tread why lol
2022 is nice ok.
Trijicon: "Why am I even here?"
Ein “Just to suffer?”
"Just tryin to hang on"

All jokes aside, it's a good test on whether it can maintain zero after prolonged rapid fire.
and THIS is why you have so many people envious, including me! You have really helpful content, and then some amusing stuff too, for certain likeminded folks. HA HA. While I cast boolits, i listen to many of your in depth videos on smithing. THANK YOU for all the shared knowledge. It is impressive and rare. Thanks, Kindly. OneManCircus.
Just finished watching Kalash Media's AK-12 Gunbuster, 680 rounds before the barrel burst (mind that 680 isn't bad for a small caliber like 5.45x39), this rifle shot almost triple and never died, still impressed 4 years later, that's unheard of.
The POF 416 is a top of the line rifle while AK-12 is a standard issue grunt weapon,their quality just not gonna be comparable
I bet there wasn’t a single wild animal for miles from all that noise
Or hiker
@Jones mans hittin us with the facts, thats cool ash tho how you killed those coyotes woulda been a good video
Hell its been. 4 years and they are still runnin....hahahahah
Eric: 2,500 rounds is more then enough to kill a rifle
POF: Hold my beer
Yeah, except for the fact that it was coughing the entire way. So, that little "hold my beer" statement doesn't really fly here.
@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry True, it did cough here and there. But, just keep in mind, he ran an infantryman's rifle like a squad automatic.... And... It.... Did.... Not.... Die......
@@anthonystark2912 It coughed a lot... not here and there. It didn't run like a squad auto. It ran like a gun that had to be touched every few rounds. I am sadly unimpressed.
@@roflstomps324 Then you watched an entirely different video than I did.
@@anthonystark2912 Having to rack a gun repeatedly, sometimes three times per magazine, is not normal, right? You know this, right? 5:28 6:00 6:03 6:27 I can do this all day with this video. Squad auto? haha. Yeah, right. 6:53 is me looking at you... Note the puzzlement.
Idk why but the sounds of the mags hitting the ground, coupled with the bolt dropping just is satisfying 😌
Really truly impressive engineering that it ran so long
That's not a melt down its a failure to melt down
Mary Malone true
The five people are both about a great deal and they have no idea how much they do it to us they said Southern and she is not just fine but I think she was not just fine and she is not just a racist or not just fine she is a great woman
The note is not a great app for me and my family and friends and I love them
The note is not a great idea for me a little too many times I have a great idea to read it and simple to use but it does have no idea how many people have been paid by this one ☝️
That thing jammed so many times that it was pathetic.
Facts: This gun must fail.
POF: "Hold my beer"
*hold my gas chamber. That shit never melted
Frank D did a 9,000 meltdown on one of these before it even had a cook off.
Agreed but it def had failures to feed in between, that's an expensive failure to feed out of a pof rifle
@@Rhodeyguytom - But, was the F2F due to the POF platform, mag follower, mag spring, ammo, temp, a combo of some of the above, or all of the above?
Lol
This video sold me on the 416. Not to say I'll ever go to that limit. But gd it's impressive. I also couldn't help but notice that when it wasn't properly feeding/cycling is always when there wasn't a new gen mag in. Maybe it has nothing to do with it idk. Great content.
I am thoroughly impressed. That is one tough weapon.
"How's life going?"
9:41 - 9:52
😂 that legit made me laugh so hard😂
i had to go back and re-watch the timestamp, bout fell out of my chair when that clip fell out.
hahaha on to the next failure!
Crystal White Mustang laughed harder than I should have
Kevin Smith Heavy SIGH
*MAGAZINE*
This weapon never really failed. It's got some issues from the abuse, but still in the fight. Impressive. Seems like more problems with mags, failure to feed and ammo (stuck cases), than anything else.
2000+ rounds in this torture test is exceptional
yep , and it looks like cheap steel cased ammo
I bought the POF P415 Edge 5.56mm GEN IV version of this weapon - not after watching this, but directly because of Frank DeSomma!! R.I.P., Brother..!!!!🇺🇸
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST MELTDOWNS TO DATE AND IT REALLY SPEAKS FOR JUST WHAT GREAT RIFLES POF MAKES. WATCHING THIS MADE ME VERY HAPPY AND THANKFUL THAT I HAVE THE EXACT SAME RIFLE IN SEMI AUTO. THEY ARE LIGHT RIFLES TO BOOT.
It’s crazy just am with a lil tweak to Gad blow back it will be fully auto ;)
What was better? I would like to watch the video.
when it rains at his house, it doesnt rain water, it rains 5.56 and 7.62

Nobody can ask more to an AR , those guys from POF did a hell of a rifle .

@Shaid Nawaz This IS NOT made in Pakistan.
POF stands for Patriot Ordinance Factory. There is a Pakistan Ordinance Factory, however.
Shaid Nawaz bro quit spreading lies
I was on the fence about POF but not anymore. Cant wait to get one now.
Awesome!
If there was ever a Zombie Apocalypse, I would definitely take this gun! Awesome gun, awesome video!
Facebook market place the next day "only been shot a couple times like new trade for nice truck"
more like craigslist
Light use "battle worn finish"
Lightly used only a couple times, garage kept
"For sale or trade, gently used, low round count ar15"

Legend has it that he was never able kill the pile of dirt in front of him and it still haunts him to this day.....
Well, whenever I’m not broke, I’ll be sure to get my hands on a POF
When he retires he can open up lead mine...
My next A.R. will be one made by P.O.F. ! This is truly a remarkable piece of machinery . My compliments to Eric , a true-blue professional
Awesome video! I was really looking forward to finding out the result. And there it was.
Would love to see a review with highlights , giving details of all your Meltdowns , from worst results to ths Best results.
"I need this kind of ammunition."
"You're in luck, we have 2000 rounds in stock."
"That's ...𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆..."
*BOLD TEXT*
*BALD TEST*
POF should be proud, that was impressive to say the least. Also shows how robust the AR piston guns can be. I've always been a fan of AR piston guns, my AR with AA piston system has chugged close to 2000 rounds with zero problems.
Barry The Chopper
And that was full auto version. A semi auto will last forever
Put the same through my DI AR with no issues too. Meanwhile my AKM had a hard stoppage (probably due to ammo) within 200 rounds
No
plenty of fish
I have three POF AR's and absolutely love them all! One of them is the P415 Edge and the quality and accuracy is unmatched.
I'm getting one with a rare breed trigger
most of stoppages are consequence of bad magazines and mag catch.
this rifle is my favorite.
Fun drinking game:
Take a shot every time he racks the charging handle.
That Gun has to be the Meltdown Hall of Fame....
I still love watching this meltdown! It really makes me want and respect Patriot Ordnance Factory! R.I.P. Frank
I feel like this gun was basically red lining, it never broke but was at its upper edge, the cool thing is that semi worked fine, so you could easily stay in the fight if you needed to
Pof can say: here at POF firearms, our guns melt down you
Pof is the real badass
Saad Hamza you are right
What does POF means???
Afaan Khan Pakistan ordinance factory
@@afaankhan2803 pakistan oridance factory.
That HEAT SINK and the FLUTED barrel technology combined made a MAJOR difference I’m thinking...along with, of course, the piston system. Color me REALLY impressed!
Mark Hatch the E2 chamber probably helped a tad running the steel case ammo...
Big Heavy Barrel
That is the only downside. It is a HEAVY AR.
That roller bearing on the bolt carrier can't hurt either
@@starcityrc3298 It’s not heavy I have same one and my Pws heavier then this 🤦♂️
Damn guy has almost 2.7 MILLION followers! I remember when 150k-200k was going on not long ago, or as it seems. Good job fellas! Patriot Ordinance Factory are some of the best for the money! LWRC is up there with them!
IraqVeteran, would you say this is one of the toughest you've tested? Thank you for what you do for the community.
the toughest by far
This was the most impressive display of engineering I have ever seen.
POF is BY FAR my favorite AR manufacturer. Keep your LaRue, keep your BCM, keep your Daniel Defense. POF has so many proven innovations that improve this platform that there really is no competition. The only discussion I'm willing to have, is who gets to be 2nd place.
Hearing the bolt lock back is chilling.
Like it's saying, "ok we're gonna chill for a bit" then hearing it release "ok one more lap".
Had my eye on this for a while & now I’m really in Love WOW what a Gun WOW💯FJB
take a shot every time he pulls the charging handle
Salty Popcorn. I tried it and died
Salty Popcorn now thats a nasty alcohol induced coma
I took shots of water
Reported for attempted murder 😂
I own a POF Renegade and this makes me feel so proud.
Sad civilians with no government back up cant buy things like this. Our government doesnt want civilians who can defensively shoot back.
Just bought mine an hour ago. Pretty stoked ngl
Picking up a revolution I feel very confident about my purchase on this one though admittedly I’ve owned exactly two eggs one being the smith made ppk/s other being a Taurus pt99af
@@iwadelosreyes3492 we have 3d printers that can make the sears now buddy
Why? It couldn’t overheat….it jammed the whole time…my m16 fired 1200 rounds with no jamming.
2 things would be cool to see with another POF 416. At the end of this test, if the rifle is select fire, to flip it to semi and see how long it would run until it broke broke, and to see how it’d operate. Second, do a full test in semi to see if the round increase before minor and major failure.
I've owned 2 POF's... If looked at through multiple lenses, there is no better AR on the market...
Wow! Thanks for the kind words
I'd rather have a gun that hiccups a bit but keeps chugging than one that works flawless till it stops running permanently
Agreed. But remember...the point of the meltdown is to shoot the gun until it explodes or stops or has a major failure that renders it completely inoperable. We never achieved that...the gun still works. Actually I did test the accuracy at 100 yards after this test when it cooled down and it was literally shooting a 15 foot group at 100 yards. BUT...if your position was being overran and they were right in top of you, you could still defend yourself
Iraqveteran8888 Truly impressive what material is the upper made of?
Keep in mind as well that he was using steel case ammo.
+Iraqveteran8888 Great vid as always!, does the laquer from the steel cases not melt when the breech is so hot and cause ejction problems!? would be cool to get a sponsor for brass ammo to see if theres a difference :))
Find one that will run this long and flawlessly, none exist....
Holy shit man that's absolutely farrrrrr beyond impressive, wow...
POF also makes great Ordnance too!!
The ejection trajectory is literally flawlessly identical, it's like a water stream of brass, excuse me, steel 🤣
I first watched this video during the ammo crisis and literally couldn't get through it. "OH! THATS NOT FAIR! IT'S....JUST WASTEFUL!"
But then I watched it again a year or two later and now its AWESOME. Surprised how much abuse that barrel took given the temperatures, I would have expected the metal to swell with heat and then with burnt powder build-up, I would have figured the tight tolerances in the barrel and around the BCG to get "jammy" once the lubricant was gone. I'm guessing that is probably why it refused to cycle there at the end.
The manufacturers should pay you guys to meltdown test and torture test these!
Most would do well too. Amazing how firearms have gotten to be as reliable and accurate that it universally comes down to operator -- clean and learn to shoot.
Jason Watkin I bet, they are
why would corporations pay someone to show you how shitty their products are?
You really think that was bad performance? That's a lot of lead and a lot of heat, many guns may not be capable of surviving that.
@@ShawnJonesHellion plus they were running steel ammo on it, which looks *even better* on the gun
I'm sold, I'm going to pick up one of these now. Very impressed.
Unless you've got one of the ATF's Golden Tickets, I assume you mean you're going to pick up a POF P415, since our government doesn't trust common citizens with full auto weapons.
I own a P415, and it's a fantastic AR. Wouldn't trade it for any DI gun on the market.
let me ask you something, if the government says you can't even have your 415 then what? still law biding?
+ROBINSON4942 By the numbers 50 million (conservatively) in the US own 1 or more of 300 million+ firearms in the US. There is not enough Law Enforcement Officers, Military, Prison Space, or Budget to enforce even a partial "ban." What we the shooting public need to do is encourage people to take up shooting as a fun and practical activity that is also important to essential Liberty. The less insular and backbiting we act the more broad acceptance will force politicians to accept the realities. Like it or not Abortion, Gay Marriage, and Firearms are here to stay.
Aaron Orr Damn straight. There's going to be literal hell to pay if Hitlery thinks she can take away our guns like Australia did.
Dang everybody's gonna buy this rifle and the price is gonna shoot up..... Elections will make it worse.
Dang that gun is running like water over a fall. You is now Rambo Eric 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
so proud to be an American where I can watch this one guy blow through 30 mags not even for practice, but to simply test his weapon. this country is badass

The video represents data. POF is very happy.
I salute to u sir and your AR Rifle..that thing is in a beast mode...totally nail it
I love how he gets that rage, like you will take these rounds! I felt it for sure
ANY gun with that continuous fire would likely have WORSE problems than this POF did. That is why machine guns designed for continuous fire have quick-change barrel setups. I am honestly pretty impressed. I did not expect this gun to perform as it did. I will admit to never giving POF a second look although I have owned a couple that were acquired through trades and then traded again without putting enough rounds through them to have an opinion.
I think this proves POF to be a viable option for a SHTF weapon. Nice work POF! Nice test IV8888!
Barry would be proud.

Well I never thought of this, but especially for a 5,56 gun this one is actually really realiable.
So many shots before it just starts to only get issues of the carriage and even never broke!
Many other 5,56/5,45 Aussualt Rifles having issues already after 400-500 shots of not be able to pull the bolt anymore or you need hard force and breaking shortly after (Barrel busting or else mostly at max 900-1000 shots)
I don't have any POF AR's, but now I know why I always liked them!
I’ve never seems so much money fly out of an ejection port so quickly before
huw much is it?
@@vfam825 if he is shooting the cheap ammo.. Over $625
They have a 50 Beowulf and 458socom full auto video...much...MUCH more
I have....my ex wife 🥺
Like a drunk rapper at a strip club
This gun lasted longer than the Glock 18
Surprising as shit isn't it?
Wow
love the meltdown series, but too much interval time is taken with the ARs between mags and trying to fix the gun, this doesn't happen with aks in the series. I love the channel, keep up the good work and stay safe!
could you meltdown a belt feed full auto AR.
+krombopulous michael Not really. this is way beyond combat shooting. Most soldiers or contractors (at least on stationary position) look at rifles as the last line of defense. The rifle is a supplement to belt fed, mortars, and in some cases, air support. Otherwise the rifle is meant to help fill in the gaps and is a PDW. Most soldiers and some contractors only carry a basic combat load. This showed the rifle capable of sustained fire where sheer numbers can overrun an attack and still handle a combat load out in semi auto fire. Maybe not as accurate because the barrel is shot but, just the fact it worked says a hell of a lot. That being said, I completely see your point. Unless you're in E&E mode under extreme circumstances, (and even then) rifles aren't shot like this. This is better performance than a M4 by a long shot.
That ejection pattern is so consistent. Perfect
This video aided in my decision to buy a POF 308 Revolution….. so glad i did. I love it.
when the US military ran the individual carbine replacement competitions in 2005, 2007 and 2011, they should have had iraqveteran8888 do the testing lol
! ObamaTookMyCat ! This rifle should I'd replaced the M4A1.
Well, here's the issue - The M4 Carbine has an average cost (for the US Government) of around $700 USD. The POF P415 costs over $2100 USD (At retail). At minimum, even if the government gets a 1/3rd cost reduction in the P415, that's still double of what the US GOV pays for new M4 Carbines. If our M4's/M16's/AR15's are maintained at just a basic level, they prove themselves very reliable. Add on top of this, the fact that no US Soldier will ever fire this volume of ammo in this short a time (at least not in a standard issue carbine/rifle), and there really is no reason for the US GOV to adopt the P415 over the M16/M4.
Not to mention, it means they would have to replace the current rifles with them - Assuming we replace them all with P415's, that means they would have to replace over 8 million rifles. That would cost the US GOV some $16,800,000,000 USD - Even reducing the price by 1/3rd still costs over 11.2 Billion USD. 11.2 Billion to 16.8 Billion USD just to replace what already works perfectly well if there is at least a half assed attempt to maintain the rifle.
I mean I'd be all fine with our troops getting these things if they're more reliable, but our current ones work just fine for a much lower cost.
unless they just replace the upper, the pof upper will drop on to a mill spec m16 / ar15 lower.
The marines is replacing service rifles with m27 IARs (HK 416s-piston rifles similiar to this one) that cost more than this.
Paul Barclay well, that's not true. The Marines want to replace their m4s with 416, but they haven't gotten the funding yet. In addition, the Marine Corps is a hell of a lot smaller than the army, and they would need far less rifles. Currently the issue the M27 has a squad automatic, which only means one per squad. At this point I think they've bought
Now imagine the open bolt lmg variant. That would run so long this would transition to a 1 hour long video or more.
Incredible! That POF went further than I expected it too. I'd like to have on of those with a fluted 16" heavy profile barrel.
I have a gen 3 p415 with a 18” heavy fluted barrel and she’s amazing if you’re still looking for one of their older (better built in my opinion) models they have a few floating around on gunbroker

Well, given the extreme continued heat from firing and unreal high round count.That rife has really performed extremely well. It's very dirty from all the burnt gunpowder, lacquer ammo case coating buildup, and lack of liberation. Yet the rifle still continues to operate. That's a real torture test that only a select few gun manufacturer's would survive. You can definitely expect some wear and tare to happen on the barrel, extractor, bolt, and other etc parts. Would definitely clean and luberate the rifle as soon as it safely cools down.
Thanks for the demo!
The fact that this video is a HALF HOUR LONG should be a testament to how well these things are made. I just ordered the Wonder, and am glad they helped point me towards it.

Got one myself. My next rifle will be a POF as well.
I'd like to see the rise of sales for POF after this video :D
Earned it in my book. That was truly impressive.
Andrew Schott You can say that again!
I'm in the market for an upper right now, I was looking at RRA .458, but I may just wait and save up for an upper from POF now...
I have a new P415 upper for sale. Message me if interested
The price went up.
I think that's one heck of a gun! Definitely proved itself! Wow!
Such a smooth and well-controllable rifle. Short, lightweight. This gun and Remington ACR are one of the most underrated guns.
Imagine being his neighbor and hearing this
I live next to a highway and mid summer with the windows open it's very peaceful to hear a car go by every now and then. Living next to this would be ten times better than currently living a mile away from the police shooting range, which they barely use ='[
Rodent problem solved
Id be his best friend
@Andre McGoo meaning???
We just need a grill, some beer, and some franks!
This gun lasted longer than me....but that was true after the 43 second mark.
