Coming from someone who served in the Estonian army with a Galil during a winter with an average of -10c: we all had the occasional malfunction, but generally it ran quite well. The most important part was putting on a little less oil than during the warmer months so it didn't clog as it froze.

When I went through Parris Island we had some Korean War Marines come and talk to us. They said that in Chosin if you had to piss you waited for an attack because you needed that piss to free the bolt up on your rifle. Respect.
In the Swedish army they told us to shit and piss when preparing to fight since getting hit in a full bladder will be worse than getting hit in an empty one.
@@antonw-uw4ov It actually makes a lot of sense. Also makes it far less likely that you will go septic. If you literally are full of $h!+ and get hit in the stomach, all that waste could kill you super quick. I bet having an empty stomach might actually "help", since it would basically just be stomach acid, which maybe could antiseptize things?
The one thing I’ve learned from these videos, if anything, is if you do have a frozen rifle, and the safety and trigger will move and you do manage to get a first round off, you’d better make damn sure that shot counts. Cause the chances of getting a full cycle seems quite thin.

As a married but childless middle age adult I totally get this. The sad thing is it continues on and on and on. A huge chunk of your friends (even the ones that profess to hating kids) will have children when they get married. And if they didn't forget you existed when they first got married they most definitely will the second they have kids. I think its because as a married yet happy childless couple we are living proof that they didn't actually *have* to procreate after getting married and everytime we mention sleeping in on weekends, planning vacations around what we want to do or having extra money for ourselves its like salt being rubbed in the wound. Lol Two of my best friends are around the same age as me and both are married and both are kidless and intend to stay that way and both couples describe the exact same treatment from their (previous) friends who now have kids. They stop calling, stop visiting, and eventually just go totally radio silent and a quick look at their Facebook pages shows their new life of indebted servitude. ;)

I love how the VHS-2 will singlehandedly revive Springfields reputation. Even though springfield doesnt even produce these weapons, some will associate it with springfield because they renamed it for their own gain.
The auto parts stores sell these small cans of de-ice spray for locks. Wonder how well that would work on guns and if it would be worthwhile keeping it in a winter kit
It's just methanol, you can buy gallon cans for dirt cheap and fill the bottle of your choice for WAY less money than buying those cans. Also, aerosol cans don't work well in freezing conditions, a squeeze bottle is best.
Or you could just "pee" on your rifle and de-ice too. This way you don't have to carry more stuff in your kit. Or have the added weight. I'm being serious too. Your pee is coming out at 98 degrees.
To be fair, if they had pried the dust covers open manually, the Hellion would have had 0 issues total. Technically speaking, both the 105 and the Hellion only had 1 issue each. Stuck dust cover and frozen mag.
The SIG 553 has a gas valve at the front that can be turned. It gives additional power to the reload mechanism for frozen or dirty conditions. The Valve can be turned with a big knife/bayonet. And all this mag problems with the other weapons, the SIG 553 has plastic mags to prevent freezing to the gun, also the release mechanism is optimized for such conditions. Greetings from Switzerland.
KNS (in the US) made an oversized safety thumb selector for the 550 series. I had one on a 551, and if I was in freezing conditions, or knew that it is going to freeze, or even rain, I would have already turned the gas setting to "dirty". The only negative is the "Swiss clock hammer spring", and trigger assembly. I prefer the modern AR drop in assembly ! Many drop-in assemblies will prevent a blown (dislodged) primer from jamming up the rearward travel of the hammer, or from lodging under the trigger assembly. I run a CMC drop in now, with strike industries non rotating trigger pins (no tool disassembly required). It has performed flawlessly and is very practical. If the two above could go into a STG90 ! ! ! Ideal. I had no issues or problems with the plastic magazines. Both the AR and the SIG intended the magazines to be DISPOSABLE, use them for one tour of combat, or 4 years training, then throw them away. Preventative maintenance.
The cz bren2 test would have passed the test perfectly, the button does not freeze and it is easy to return it to the built-in. this is verified even in MAC bren2, neither the button nor the mechanism is frozen, and the reset button did not even have a hint of priming. cz bren2 is simply the best weapon hello from ukraine i am a military man and dealt with bren2 he is ideal.

I was fortunate enough to know a gentleman several years ago that fought in the Battle of The Bulge. Me being the gun enthusiast I am I had to ask him how their M-1’s faired in the cold weather, he said when they woke in the morning they all peed on the actions of their rifles to unfreeze them. He swore by the M-1 Garand
My father was in Germany during WW2 and I've heard stories about the war, cold freezing rain and snow while hiding in a foxhole at dawn for instance, and they did the same... They were definitely a different group back then...
That reminds me of a documentary I watched years ago where one of the guys talked about having waves of Germans coming at them. He was the gunner on an M2 and, since they were going cyclical on the krauts, the barrel got red-hot. His A-gunner stood up in the middle of a massive firefight and pissed on the barrel of the M2. The guy said, "I still don't know how he was able to squeeze it out under that much enemy fire, but he did and it worked!" 🤣
Hellion is a derivative of VHS2. The VHS2, like every other weapon manufactured by HS-Produkt, has been treated in: dust, sand, salt bath, clay mixed with water, freezing, high temperature and a drop from 6.5ft, with and without a bullet in the chamber. The tolerance between the moving elements offers the compactibility of exchanging parts. Regardless of all the gripes of the trigger lever, it is a reliable rifle that does not need a hammer support.🙂
I bought a Hellion 3 months ago and have been impressed with the workmanship and function. In addition to a firing pin spring the Hellion also has a spring loaded firing pin block safety that prevents the firing pin from moving forward until the hammer pushes the block safety out of the way. Basically two safety's to prevent slam fires. This maybe the reason the trigger pull is about 7.5 pounds, that is needed to overcome the heavy trigger spring. So what is this “hammer support” that you are talking about? Also, I wish HS Produkt would have applied a anti-rust coating to the bolt.
@@retirednobaddays456 Hammer support as in the gun didn't need to be hammered like a lot of others in order to function. Because you know, it was frozen.....
The biggest problem we had when I was in the Norwegian army was snow in the muzzle. If that freezes and you shoot, shit could go very wrong. We use HK 416, i have never had any problems with it, even in -35°C. You just have to be careful about moisture (not bringing your rifle in a tent hot enough to melt the snow to water), and brushing your rifle to remove snow and ice
100% spot on. Military bases all over the world in sub-freezing temperatures, and they have no problems with guns. The real issue is moisture and barrel obstructions, not your gun getting "too cold." Additionally, this is more of a meme than a torture test. No one, literally no one is going to dunk their rifle in water and then leave it out to freeze. Even more: try and shoot it without cleaning it beforehand if it was left outdoors in these kinds of conditions.
@@frankrenda2519 Well, not for accuracy, but the AK was designed to be an oversized SMG and no one needed to bother thinking about hitting anything past 300 yards back then. Modern U.S. made AKs can meet or exceed ARs for accuracy, though, depending on which ones you're comparing.
@@dredlord47 modern AK-74s can be just as accurate as an AR you are correct about that, 762x39 is heavy so it drops really fast which is bad for accuracy in Old AKs but a light more modern round like 5.45x39 is very accurate, 5.45 is basically Russian 5.56 it was literally made as a response to the 5.56 performance and market. For the modern AK accuracy isn't a problem.
Well apparently the Croatians know how to build a rifle that worksish in freezing conditions...Springfield just jacked up the price and put their stamp on it. Hollar back when they build something original rifle wise that works. I bet if they made an ak they'd put grip zone on the grip and say it's an all new design.
The vhs2 better but the idiot closed both ejection ports! It is no dust cover! No need, AK no need for dust core too. Only AR and similar crap needs. All othe failed us production. 🤣🤣🤣
Well if you remember the story of the Marine who was at the Chosin Reservior and slept with his M1 under his coat, the other Marines laughed at him until they were attacked by the Chinese and his rifle was the only one that worked.
Interesting story, I recall reading that some Marines had to urinate on the M1s action to unfreeze them. Makes sense after seeing this video. Makes me wonder if the water had been warmer if it would have helped a lot.
I’m in the finnish army and this test is actually pretty realistic. You’re outside and your gun gets snowy, you go in a tent and the snow melts all over the gun and you get back outside and the water freezes freezing the gun.
You don’t even need the snow. Condensation will form on every surface when you go into the tent. In Alaska we leave the weapons outside during exercises.
I live up North in the U.S, this is a realistic scenario. The one that came to my mind is sometimes when it snows here, the temperature is still above freezing, so the snow is 'wet snow'/slushy mix...but later in the night it will drop below freezing, potentially freezing any wetted equipment.
@@509Gman idk man if I was a soldier I don't think I want to leave my gun outside. That sounds like a bad habit. You need your gun and suddenly they're gone and that's right when you get shot and die

Love these tests, as someone who lives in Wisconsin--where it's currently 25 and somehow only gonna get colder throughout the day--this is extremely relevant.
I love the insane amount of trash talk about the Springfield hellion and how well it performed. Remember its pretty much the VHS-2 and springfield didnt make it.
I got a Springfield Saint Victor like 3 years ago as my first AR, it was like 1300 bucks but I've already got 2k+ rounds through it and the only "problem" I've had was a crushed rubber washer beneath the extractor spring. The XD series pistols are mostly trash but the whole company in general gets more shit than it probably deserves
I wish I was in on the setup for this video. I would have suggested you could use one sport bottle of warm water to simulate pissing on it to get the rifle up and running.
After watching MAC's tour of their facility I'm a definite fan of PSA now. They don't cut corners, and yet still put out reasonably priced pieces that perform.
Wouldn't expect to see much of a difference. The big differences between cheap and expensive AK's seems to be more about steel grade and machining costs rather than parts dimensions or finish

Love how the hellion being completely shit on was the first one to run flawless if it wasn't for the dust cover being stuck it probably would have eject that round too lmao
I believe the VHS-2 only failed to extract because the dust cover was frozen but it took minimal effort to open. Other than that it ran flawlessly. I think the only reason the trigger failed in the Tavor X95 is because the stock trigger was switched out for the Geissele as mentioned in you past review. If you do a part 3 try the Tavor again but with the stock X95 trigger which was designed for harsh conditions.
Glad to see that VHS-2 (Helion) is performing up to spec, if the extraction port was open, i think there would be 0 failure and would shoot smooth as that AK-105, however, I am glad that the AK won :D

Thank you for that. 👍 But in this video ...from the begining ....your scepticism toward Croatian Hellion imported by Springfield ... I would say,whose under your level of a professional. I understand,you have negative stand toward Springfield as Company because they said something wrong. But to blamish and laugh at HS Product rifle ...after all the expiriences with their XD - XDM - XD Mod 2 - XDS - Hellcat - usage of VHS rifles in Afganistan,Iraq,Croatia,Kosovo ..under real working conditions ... Don t forget that Croats fought Homeland War mostly with Yugoslav version of AK-47 , H&K G-3 and FAL. War on Balkan area in winter ...it is something you would remember for life. Reliability,endurance,ease of maintenance ...all are aspects which where on the table when VHS-2 whose buildt. Does it have a trigger as Custom AR-15 rifle do ? No,it doesn t ,but it does have the Best trigger out of any Bullpup rifles in the World. Superfine trigger in winter or under high stress,with gloves on your hands when all hell is broke loose .... I would choose less perfect and more controlable trigger. War is not shooting range picnic under perfect conditions,and VHS is constructed and buildt for War. Not for showing of. From my stand of point,only minus of VHS-2 and Hellion is that it doesn t have 7,62x39 , 6,5 Grendel and 308 Win models,and 20" barrel. Everything else is 👍 Best regards from Croatia !
As a Canadian, the x95 is one of the last reliable black rifles available to us. Thanks for featuring it in this test. Maybe a review video is in order?
I got a X95 a few months ago so far i love it. I live in WA and its a constant battle for our basic human right to own weapons no matter their characteristics. Never back down.
Seeing the VHS-2 working almost perfect makes my day~ 😙 I mean come on ~ It’s a beautiful rifle! Please don’t hate it just because the damn Springfield give it a terrible name in US.
Springfield just sucks. They sell an imported rifle they gave a dumb name to, a pistol that is pretty good but again they don't make it, 1911s which Colt brought to market a hundred years ago, and they sell an M1A which was the worst cold war rifle and they don't even use forged receivers like Fulton does.
I think its disrespecgtful to be so sceptical about hellion. I dont know how many people are familliar that Hellion is in fact Croatian rifle ( HS Protukt VHS-2) what stands for "multifunctional croatian machinegun" that is used by croatian army and special forces. It was used for years in its first iterration (VHS1) wich has some minor flaws but in second itteration they are all fixed. Of corse it is not perfect but is combat proven in afganistan and other NATO mission that Croatia partricipated and it showh as very very reliable. The Hellion has nothing to do with SA its only imported by SA and its completely produced in Croatia. When France was choosing a new rifle for its army in 2017, the VHS 2 finished 2nd in the competition, just behind the German HK416 F. Some sources state that it was even better than the HK416 F, but it was minor, so they chose germany rifle due to political reasons.
@@BabyMachine it better be, it's an AR15. Everyone and their brother makes those. I'll give Springfield the credit of actively selling a 16" midlength with a FSB. Some people dont like those, but it's really the proper civilian M4 because 16" carbines have always been kinda terrible.
This was a fantastic vid. Something iv always been curious about is doing the same test with the failed guns with a different gun lubricant. I seen a documentary years ago about the battle of stalingrad. They tested the mauser and the nagant in -40 and both were basically inoperable. However, the soviets had a winter gun lube trick in their training manuals where nothing similar was found from the germans. They mixed gasoline with gun oil to thin it and in a way anti freeze it. The test again was done and this time the nagant functioned as it should. Most eastern block weapons are designed with extreme cold weather in mind and have been for a century.
Here the hellion is far better, the idiot closed both ejection ports not the VHS2. How stupid one can be. That is no dust cover, it is ejection port cover, ejection side is always open, it is not US made weapon, therefore no need for some additional dust cover.
So the "shocking" conclusion is that a safeties with a huge lever arm (ak) work better than short lever arm safeties, and that a rifle designed to work in freezing conditions in a country where those conditions are very common, is actually better in freezing conditions.
It's way beyond just the safety, AK also don't have the problems with the bolt locking back, trigger mechanism freezing up etc. Lots of points of failure. In Alaska some police departments even ditched AR's and use AK platforms as their primary rifles.
@@bradenmchenry995 No it actually isn't. In extreme cold a typical thing that happens is your weapon may work for the first mag or two just fine. However after it has heated up in the cold it gets covered in condensation, or it's snowing on it and melts, then in a lull when you are not shooting the gun gets cold, all that moisture re freezes, and you end up with similar results.
So usually up here where the video is filmed, you get cold, snow and sometimes freezing rain, and as they stated, this may not be a realistic test, but it is fun. It could happen over hours though. I would like to see these rifles spend the night outside, no added water in our next snow storm. Wake up before dawn and test again.
That was a problem I remember hearing about the M1 Garand. I think it was something with their lube froze during a certain year on those cold winters. Our soldiers fought hard. 🇺🇲 God bless them.
During the Korean War the frozen conditions of that conflict caused a lot of issues with the m1 garands and the m1 carbine series, and honestly all the weapons. It’s why they developed better lubricants that have an extremely low freezing points.
garands run on lubriplate 130A which is allegedly able to operate down at -10, but the Army didn't test the grease in cold weather for how well it lubricated. They only cared about having a grease that was better able to deal with heavy rain and washout which is more than a little short sighted.
Ice tests are a standard for US Milspec firearms. The M14/M1A and the M1 Garand were designed to "kick clear" jams in sandy, muddy or icy conditions. A fact about the M14 is it did better in the cold weather tests than the FN FAL. Additionally, in winter warfare you keep you arms outside the tent and not inside w/you. The problem of freezing can occur when a warm firearm is taken into the cold and the condensation freezes the firearms action. A sidearm or shotgun would be inside the tent, in case your camp is attacked. Good video and stay safe.
Oh snap, I own a VHS-2 as my first 5.56 gun after growing up my whole life with AK's and FAL's. It's been a great gun for me and because of that I thought I'd crash and burn in the test...Glad I'm still proud of it! I also laughed out loud when the G3 sent it's brass into dark space, never to be seen by brass ghouls ever again 😂
VHS-2 was made to replace AK and it had to perform better as to be accepted as military standard for Croatian army. It went through some really brutal testing (ice, salt water, sand, etc.) since we have all kinds of weather here (from freezing winters to boiling summers) so it wasn't actually surprise for me. Greetings from Croatia.
The Soviets did extensive cold weather, dust storm, and corrosion testing, among others, with the tests being done in special chambers to simulate each environment.
I bet every Croatian combat arms soldier watching this video was sweating bullets watching that Hellion test 👀💧 In all seriousness: Looks like Croatia was right to go home-brew rather than adopt the Tavor.
Все как обычно, дедушка АК на высоте. Подвел только магазин. А так отработал штатно. И создан был так что собрать/разобрать его может даже ребёнок, простота и надежность!
From what heard about the M-1 Garand was that during the Chosun Reservoir campaign in 1950, it was only weapon that was functional. Everything else like the BARs, M-1 carbines, M-1 Thompson submachine gun, & the Browning M1919 .30-cal machine gun all froze in extreme temperture.
Ex Canadian army here, for our C7 the procedure was keep it dry (oil and water), keep it outside (avoid temperature variations cold-hot-cold), cover it to avoid snow getting in.

When I went through Parris Island we had some Korean War Marines come and talk to us. They said that in Chosin if you had to piss you waited for an attack because you needed that piss to free the bolt up on your rifle. Respect.
In the Swedish army they told us to shit and piss when preparing to fight since getting hit in a full bladder will be worse than getting hit in an empty one.
@@antonw-uw4ov That's hardcore. It makes sense, though.
@@Borderline5440 I remember as a teen my dad told me about the same thing about driving. Less hardcore but still makes sense.
@@Borderline5440 Also you don't want your body to keep shit and piss warm. So piss and shit any chance you get
@@antonw-uw4ov It actually makes a lot of sense. Also makes it far less likely that you will go septic. If you literally are full of $h!+ and get hit in the stomach, all that waste could kill you super quick. I bet having an empty stomach might actually "help", since it would basically just be stomach acid, which maybe could antiseptize things?
The one thing I’ve learned from these videos, if anything, is if you do have a frozen rifle, and the safety and trigger will move and you do manage to get a first round off, you’d better make damn sure that shot counts. Cause the chances of getting a full cycle seems quite thin.

Charlie even told him to do that😂
Yeah, frozen forward assists will do that.
Charlie is the chaotic goodness I needed in my life after I lost my best friend. He’s not dead or anything, he just has a kid and no longer has time for shenanigans.
As a married but childless middle age adult I totally get this. The sad thing is it continues on and on and on. A huge chunk of your friends (even the ones that profess to hating kids) will have children when they get married. And if they didn't forget you existed when they first got married they most definitely will the second they have kids.
I think its because as a married yet happy childless couple we are living proof that they didn't actually *have* to procreate after getting married and everytime we mention sleeping in on weekends, planning vacations around what we want to do or having extra money for ourselves its like salt being rubbed in the wound. Lol
Two of my best friends are around the same age as me and both are married and both are kidless and intend to stay that way and both couples describe the exact same treatment from their (previous) friends who now have kids. They stop calling, stop visiting, and eventually just go totally radio silent and a quick look at their Facebook pages shows their new life of indebted servitude. ;)

It's just methanol, you can buy gallon cans for dirt cheap and fill the bottle of your choice for WAY less money than buying those cans. Also, aerosol cans don't work well in freezing conditions, a squeeze bottle is best.

To be fair, if they had pried the dust covers open manually, the Hellion would have had 0 issues total. Technically speaking, both the 105 and the Hellion only had 1 issue each. Stuck dust cover and frozen mag.
Yet they pretend water getting in to the mag and freezing isn't an issue unlike the dust cover being frozen closed.
I rewatched it's issue was the failure to extract, it was still in the chamber.
The SIG 553 has a gas valve at the front that can be turned. It gives additional power to the reload mechanism for frozen or dirty conditions. The Valve can be turned with a big knife/bayonet. And all this mag problems with the other weapons, the SIG 553 has plastic mags to prevent freezing to the gun, also the release mechanism is optimized for such conditions. Greetings from Switzerland.
the SWISS are the only real runner's up to the USA as far as Gun Ownership,
SALUTE from a True 2A Believer 😎😎😎😎💖💖😍😍💖💖😍😍💖💖💙💙💜💜👍👍👍👍
KNS (in the US) made an oversized safety thumb selector for the 550 series. I had one on a 551, and if I was in freezing conditions, or knew that it is going to freeze, or even rain, I would have already turned the gas setting to "dirty".
The only negative is the "Swiss clock hammer spring", and trigger assembly. I prefer the modern AR drop in assembly ! Many drop-in assemblies will prevent a blown (dislodged) primer from jamming up the rearward travel of the hammer, or from lodging under the trigger assembly. I run a CMC drop in now, with strike industries non rotating trigger pins (no tool disassembly required). It has performed flawlessly and is very practical. If the two above could go into a STG90 ! ! ! Ideal.
I had no issues or problems with the plastic magazines. Both the AR and the SIG intended the magazines to be DISPOSABLE, use them for one tour of combat, or 4 years training, then throw them away. Preventative maintenance.

I was fortunate enough to know a gentleman several years ago that fought in the Battle of The Bulge. Me being the gun enthusiast I am I had to ask him how their M-1’s faired in the cold weather, he said when they woke in the morning they all peed on the actions of their rifles to unfreeze them. He swore by the M-1 Garand
So the dad advice at the end was pretty much true. "Don't piss in the wind...piss on your rifle"
Well, I'm sure I'll think about this fond memory next time classic firearms tries to sell me old military surplus
Grandpas brother fought there. Men were built different
My father was in Germany during WW2 and I've heard stories about the war, cold freezing rain and snow while hiding in a foxhole at dawn for instance, and they did the same... They were definitely a different group back then...
That reminds me of a documentary I watched years ago where one of the guys talked about having waves of Germans coming at them. He was the gunner on an M2 and, since they were going cyclical on the krauts, the barrel got red-hot. His A-gunner stood up in the middle of a massive firefight and pissed on the barrel of the M2. The guy said, "I still don't know how he was able to squeeze it out under that much enemy fire, but he did and it worked!" 🤣
bro the Springfield Hellion just gained my respect
Hellion is a derivative of VHS2. The VHS2, like every other weapon manufactured by HS-Produkt, has been treated in: dust, sand, salt bath, clay mixed with water, freezing, high temperature and a drop from 6.5ft, with and without a bullet in the chamber. The tolerance between the moving elements offers the compactibility of exchanging parts. Regardless of all the gripes of the trigger lever, it is a reliable rifle that does not need a hammer support.🙂
I bought a Hellion 3 months ago and have been impressed with the workmanship and function. In addition to a firing pin spring the Hellion also has a spring loaded firing pin block safety that prevents the firing pin from moving forward until the hammer pushes the block safety out of the way. Basically two safety's to prevent slam fires. This maybe the reason the trigger pull is about 7.5 pounds, that is needed to overcome the heavy trigger spring. So what is this “hammer support” that you are talking about? Also, I wish HS Produkt would have applied a anti-rust coating to the bolt.
@@retirednobaddays456 Hammer support as in the gun didn't need to be hammered like a lot of others in order to function. Because you know, it was frozen.....
The biggest problem we had when I was in the Norwegian army was snow in the muzzle. If that freezes and you shoot, shit could go very wrong.
We use HK 416, i have never had any problems with it, even in -35°C. You just have to be careful about moisture (not bringing your rifle in a tent hot enough to melt the snow to water), and brushing your rifle to remove snow and ice
wrap a piece of tape over the top of the muzzle helps keep snow/ice out and you can shoot through it if it comes down to it.
@@michaellind3653 We had small plastic muzzle caps, but for some reason nobody used them
Thank you for the tip! What was your lubrication process? And what was your lubricant of choice?
100% spot on. Military bases all over the world in sub-freezing temperatures, and they have no problems with guns. The real issue is moisture and barrel obstructions, not your gun getting "too cold."
Additionally, this is more of a meme than a torture test. No one, literally no one is going to dunk their rifle in water and then leave it out to freeze. Even more: try and shoot it without cleaning it beforehand if it was left outdoors in these kinds of conditions.

@@frankrenda2519 Well, not for accuracy, but the AK was designed to be an oversized SMG and no one needed to bother thinking about hitting anything past 300 yards back then. Modern U.S. made AKs can meet or exceed ARs for accuracy, though, depending on which ones you're comparing.
@@dredlord47 modern AK-74s can be just as accurate as an AR you are correct about that, 762x39 is heavy so it drops really fast which is bad for accuracy in Old AKs but a light more modern round like 5.45x39 is very accurate, 5.45 is basically Russian 5.56 it was literally made as a response to the 5.56 performance and market.

I’m in the finnish army and this test is actually pretty realistic. You’re outside and your gun gets snowy, you go in a tent and the snow melts all over the gun and you get back outside and the water freezes freezing the gun.
You don’t even need the snow. Condensation will form on every surface when you go into the tent. In Alaska we leave the weapons outside during exercises.
I live up North in the U.S, this is a realistic scenario. The one that came to my mind is sometimes when it snows here, the temperature is still above freezing, so the snow is 'wet snow'/slushy mix...but later in the night it will drop below freezing, potentially freezing any wetted equipment.

I love the insane amount of trash talk about the Springfield hellion and how well it performed. Remember its pretty much the VHS-2 and springfield didnt make it.
how much did you get washed for on vhs 2?
I got a Springfield Saint Victor like 3 years ago as my first AR, it was like 1300 bucks but I've already got 2k+ rounds through it and the only "problem" I've had was a crushed rubber washer beneath the extractor spring. The XD series pistols are mostly trash but the whole company in general gets more shit than it probably deserves
I wish I was in on the setup for this video. I would have suggested you could use one sport bottle of warm water to simulate pissing on it to get the rifle up and running.
Annnnd it stull sucks.
Its a great gun designed for lankey croatian gentleman
Charlie's hammer strikes are like lightning, they never hit the same place twice.
The AKs will never fail you in the winter combat situation. Believe that!
Impressive test, the Hellion & AK-105 were indeed "solid performers" in the cold.
ya think an ak works in the cold?
@Mark Lasco actually rust, ice, rain, sand. Will malfunction in mud but very quick and easy to clear mud out
Lol the AK105 lost to the Betamax

It's no surprise since both guns are designed in cold places (Croatia ad Russia respectively)
I love how Charlie is just always ready to hit something with a hammer whether it needs it or not
He kept showing off the mystery mousekatool
We want to see more testing with affordable stuff like Palmetto!
After watching MAC's tour of their facility I'm a definite fan of PSA now. They don't cut corners, and yet still put out reasonably priced pieces that perform.
No
But that makes sense and the gun community is quite the opposite of anything that makes sense
Wouldn't expect to see much of a difference. The big differences between cheap and expensive AK's seems to be more about steel grade and machining costs rather than parts dimensions or finish
Gross poor people
Been using the HK G3 for 10 years in the army, I had higher hopes! Still, it's a hell of a gun, has never let me down, thanks for making these kinda videos! Keep it up, man!
the hs produkt vhs 2 aka Springfield wasnt a suprise to me, i hear theyre pretty good military rifles
Plus, the Croatian winters are snowy/icy and cold af, so I'd be surprised if they didn't try and incorporate that thought into their design.

My people at HS Produkt are having the last laugh. Good job VHS2.
Considering the Hellion aka the VHS-2 was designed and made by HS Produkt for use by the Croatian military and they experience cold wet winters at a similar temperature it passing was not a surprise.
This is actually quite educational watching how to safely deal with malfunctions.
Hey GT - what about a video on "winterizing your rifle? what can you do to help it perform in the cold?
Like what if you ever find yourself as part of the rebel forces on planet Hoth?? your equipment has to work.
For example would you ever use diesel vs regular gun lube? can you wrap certain parts of the rifle to prevent snow from getting in? etc.
Great idea love the winterizing your rifle idea.
No lube, use dust cover and keep gun stored in ambient temperatures.
@@borkwoof696 ambient temperature..-10 to -30 C up in the mountains....I don't think you can keep more than a pistol under the jacket ....rifles...no way

@@andreivo6581 that's why you leave them outside. Biggest danger is ice getting on your rifle. Then you take it inside to where the ice melts and gets inside it. Then when you're back outside the water freezes inside the firearm and you get these sort of problems
Love how the hellion being completely shit on was the first one to run flawless if it wasn't for the dust cover being stuck it probably would have eject that round too lmao
I believe the VHS-2 only failed to extract because the dust cover was frozen but it took minimal effort to open. Other than that it ran flawlessly.
I think the only reason the trigger failed in the Tavor X95 is because the stock trigger was switched out for the Geissele as mentioned in you past review. If you do a part 3 try the Tavor again but with the stock X95 trigger which was designed for harsh conditions.
As a owner of one of the first hellions (Vhs-2)made/imported. This makes me happy.
Glad to see that VHS-2 (Helion) is performing up to spec, if the extraction port was open, i think there would be 0 failure and would shoot smooth as that AK-105, however, I am glad that the AK won :D
PSA for the win! 😃 You guys are helping me justify sooo many purchases. 😁👍

We have the leveled-up version of the mud test with the red dirt tho
Ridiculous tests often yield fantastic results! Great content!
I love watching your videos,because beside you are a expirienced Army man,you do have sence of humor and positive energy.
Thank you for that. 👍
But in this video ...from the begining ....your scepticism toward Croatian Hellion imported by Springfield ...
I would say,whose under your level of a professional.
I understand,you have negative stand toward Springfield as Company because they said something wrong.
But to blamish and laugh at HS Product rifle ...after all the expiriences with their XD - XDM - XD Mod 2 - XDS - Hellcat - usage of VHS rifles in Afganistan,Iraq,Croatia,Kosovo ..under real working conditions ...
Don t forget that Croats fought Homeland War mostly with Yugoslav version of AK-47 , H&K G-3 and FAL.
War on Balkan area in winter ...it is something you would remember for life.
Reliability,endurance,ease of maintenance ...all are aspects which where on the table when VHS-2 whose buildt.
Does it have a trigger as Custom AR-15 rifle do ?
No,it doesn t ,but it does have the Best trigger out of any Bullpup rifles in the World.
Superfine trigger in winter or under high stress,with gloves on your hands when all hell is broke loose ....
I would choose less perfect and more controlable trigger.
War is not shooting range picnic under perfect conditions,and VHS is constructed and buildt for War.
Not for showing of.
From my stand of point,only minus of VHS-2 and Hellion is that it doesn t have 7,62x39 , 6,5 Grendel and 308 Win models,and 20" barrel.
Everything else is 👍
Best regards from Croatia !

I mean come on ~ It’s a beautiful rifle! Please don’t hate it just because the damn Springfield give it a terrible name in US.
Springfield just sucks. They sell an imported rifle they gave a dumb name to, a pistol that is pretty good but again they don't make it, 1911s which Colt brought to market a hundred years ago, and they sell an M1A which was the worst cold war rifle and they don't even use forged receivers like Fulton does.
@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz At leas the Saint it good...
I think its disrespecgtful to be so sceptical about hellion. I dont know how many people are familliar that Hellion is in fact Croatian rifle ( HS Protukt VHS-2) what stands for "multifunctional croatian machinegun" that is used by croatian army and special forces. It was used for years in its first iterration (VHS1) wich has some minor flaws but in second itteration they are all fixed. Of corse it is not perfect but is combat proven in afganistan and other NATO mission that Croatia partricipated and it showh as very very reliable. The Hellion has nothing to do with SA its only imported by SA and its completely produced in Croatia. When France was choosing a new rifle for its army in 2017, the VHS 2 finished 2nd in the competition, just behind the German HK416 F. Some sources state that it was even better than the HK416 F, but it was minor, so they chose germany rifle due to political reasons.
@@BabyMachine it better be, it's an AR15. Everyone and their brother makes those. I'll give Springfield the credit of actively selling a 16" midlength with a FSB. Some people dont like those, but it's really the proper civilian M4 because 16" carbines have always been kinda terrible.
I wish HSProdukt would just distribute their own stuff in the US. I hate Springfield.
This was a fantastic vid. Something iv always been curious about is doing the same test with the failed guns with a different gun lubricant. I seen a documentary years ago about the battle of stalingrad. They tested the mauser and the nagant in -40 and both were basically inoperable. However, the soviets had a winter gun lube trick in their training manuals where nothing similar was found from the germans. They mixed gasoline with gun oil to thin it and in a way anti freeze it. The test again was done and this time the nagant functioned as it should. Most eastern block weapons are designed with extreme cold weather in mind and have been for a century.
The AK platform is simply the best combat style rifle platform. It is, always has been, and will always be the king of reliable platforms.
Here the hellion is far better, the idiot closed both ejection ports not the VHS2.
How stupid one can be.
That is no dust cover, it is ejection port cover, ejection side is always open, it is not US made weapon, therefore no need for some additional dust cover.
…ports on the VHS2…
So the "shocking" conclusion is that a safeties with a huge lever arm (ak) work better than short lever arm safeties, and that a rifle designed to work in freezing conditions in a country where those conditions are very common, is actually better in freezing conditions.
It's way beyond just the safety, AK also don't have the problems with the bolt locking back, trigger mechanism freezing up etc. Lots of points of failure. In Alaska some police departments even ditched AR's and use AK platforms as their primary rifles.
This is really a test if you fell into a frozen lake and then let your weapon freeze
@@bradenmchenry995 No it actually isn't. In extreme cold a typical thing that happens is your weapon may work for the first mag or two just fine. However after it has heated up in the cold it gets covered in condensation, or it's snowing on it and melts, then in a lull when you are not shooting the gun gets cold, all that moisture re freezes, and you end up with similar results.
AK haters coping in the comments
So usually up here where the video is filmed, you get cold, snow and sometimes freezing rain, and as they stated, this may not be a realistic test, but it is fun. It could happen over hours though. I would like to see these rifles spend the night outside, no added water in our next snow storm. Wake up before dawn and test again.
That was a problem I remember hearing about the M1 Garand. I think it was something with their lube froze during a certain year on those cold winters. Our soldiers fought hard. 🇺🇲 God bless them.
During the Korean War the frozen conditions of that conflict caused a lot of issues with the m1 garands and the m1 carbine series, and honestly all the weapons. It’s why they developed better lubricants that have an extremely low freezing points.
@@brendenmalloy1596 The Germans had the same problem on the Russian front...the Russians mixed Kerosene with their lubes and didnt freeze.
garands run on lubriplate 130A which is allegedly able to operate down at -10, but the Army didn't test the grease in cold weather for how well it lubricated. They only cared about having a grease that was better able to deal with heavy rain and washout which is more than a little short sighted.
You move to Idaho and Charlie starts lookin more and more like Dahmer. I like this character arc
Ice tests are a standard for US Milspec firearms. The M14/M1A and the M1 Garand were designed to "kick clear" jams in sandy, muddy or icy conditions. A fact about the M14 is it did better in the cold weather tests than the FN FAL. Additionally, in winter warfare you keep you arms outside the tent and not inside w/you. The problem of freezing can occur when a warm firearm is taken into the cold and the condensation freezes the firearms action. A sidearm or shotgun would be inside the tent, in case your camp is attacked. Good video and stay safe.
Oh snap, I own a VHS-2 as my first 5.56 gun after growing up my whole life with AK's and FAL's. It's been a great gun for me and because of that I thought I'd crash and burn in the test...Glad I'm still proud of it!
I also laughed out loud when the G3 sent it's brass into dark space, never to be seen by brass ghouls ever again 😂
VHS-2 was made to replace AK and it had to perform better as to be accepted as military standard for Croatian army. It went through some really brutal testing (ice, salt water, sand, etc.) since we have all kinds of weather here (from freezing winters to boiling summers) so it wasn't actually surprise for me. Greetings from Croatia.
This was probably the most normal Charlie has ever acted in a video to date…

So did the Croats.
sure...
I bet every Croatian combat arms soldier watching this video was sweating bullets watching that Hellion test 👀💧 In all seriousness: Looks like Croatia was right to go home-brew rather than adopt the Tavor.
A lot of Croatian soldiers knows that for years ago my man
Not a domobran and also didn't sweat... because I genuienly didn't think it would pass. So glad it did
I was surprised to see the M14 platform come back fighting knowing how it performed last time and back in the mud.

From what heard about the M-1 Garand was that during the Chosun Reservoir campaign in 1950, it was only weapon that was functional. Everything else like the BARs, M-1 carbines, M-1 Thompson submachine gun, & the Browning M1919 .30-cal machine gun all froze in extreme temperture.
The thing I love most about these sorts of "tests" is it gives one more example of what not to do with your weapons.
Ex Canadian army here, for our C7 the procedure was keep it dry (oil and water), keep it outside (avoid temperature variations cold-hot-cold), cover it to avoid snow getting in.
