Over lube problems definitely occur in sub zero temperatures as I have seen and experienced in the past. The characteristics and viscosity of oil change as the thermometer drops and will increase resistance and friction on moving parts.
What a couple of morons...LOL....
They forgot to drag the gun thru a sand dune before they do the test....that would be a closer example of why you don't over lubricate :)
I'll have to ask a military weapons tech from Afghanistan his opinion on the matter.
Gotta get some nice bits of twigs and leaves from the great Ontario forests in that test too!Quote:

He'd be wearing more than just Castrol if he pulled the trigger on that DD DI M4 prior to draining all the oil out of the gas tube.
I think they are auditioning for myth busters!
Yes! It might work in Arizona but I'd like to see the same test done in Northern Canada at -30.Quote:

My big fear would have been the gun slipping out of his hands.
