DSA Torture Test: How To Break a FAL

Here’s a video of the torture test DSA put one of their FALs through. See what you started, Larry?

Gotta say, the FAL is tough as nails

Wow, now I miss my SA58!

The full auto was a nice touch as well.

Good vid. Full auto is cheating and not even practical. Would have liked to see more semi auto fire. They also used one of the L1A1 sand cut bolt carriers. I don’t know if it helps, but that is not standard FAL issue.

How exactly is fullauto cheating?

That was amazing. Can’t believe that thing still fired after the last test. Worth it to watch it. Thanks for posting!

Unbelievable!

I don’t thank that last test would be covered under warinty.

I’m thinking my next 308 could be a DSA… I don’t plan on doing that to one though. I may have to cull out a few 308 rifles and go to FALs for a 308, plus low cost reliable magazines :rolleyes:

Amazing durability.
Wonder how a DD or any other AR would hold up under the same test.

Full auto is continuous uninterrupted fire. The parts carry inertia and build momentum. Semi auto is Interrupted Fire. The inertia isn’t carried and momentum is built up. I could be wrong, but I’ve seen M60’s fire reliably with long bursts, but one the bursts were shortened, you started to experience stoppages.

And i gave my son my FAL.
