What a great read!
I have one question: Where did they find 40,000 rounds? Is that what happened to WalMart?!

Wow, that is extremely interesting stuff. I wonder how the barrels would have survived if they hadn't been so abused? Either way, good find and all of the internets to luckygunner for bringing facts to the brass/steel debate.
the brown bear clogging the gas tube was interesting
also interesting that it seems to show accelerated barrel deterioration with the bi-metal jackets

Nice... Wonder who funded the test?
40k of ammo is $$$$

Yup, but the remaining question is what happens in normal shooting instead of super heating the hell out of them. It's still extremely interesting, a poorly maintained gun will have issues with a dirtier and harder projectile.
I thought the Tula chamber vs. gas port pressure issue was interesting. Sounds like it may be a great option for certain guns.

10,000 rounds of federal with zero malfunctions...with only cleaning the gun @ 5,000 rounds and tossing in some oil to the bolt carrier every once in a while....pshh...those finicky jam-o-matics show their colors again....

Which platform do you prefer?
Not picking your nerves; genuinely curious.
I like guns in general. This does kind've show how reliable an AR can be with minimal maintenance. People often mischaracterize AR's as unreliable and prone to malfunction. My comment was in reference to that.

10-4. I'm so good at sarcasm people often think I'm serious.
Yeah,
You go and post this after I was shooting up my federal. The only thing I found on the shelf was Tula. Gah.
Thanks for the info. Only think left is reloaded federal as reliable and who wants to reload 10,000 roads. ;p
