Almost a year to the day from Garand Thumb’s epic original cold war test to see just how well a table of assorted battle and combat rifles work in extreme ice conditions, he is back with a new stab of the ice pick.
This time around, the lineup included a Tavor X95, a Garand (a salute to the Battle of the Bulge, there), the PTR-91, the modernized HCAR M1918, the Springfield Armory Hellion (which does amazingly well, it turned out) assorted home-grown AK-105s, and a rare SIG 553.
Note per GT:
The Freezing Rifle Test PT 2, we’re here to remind you this test is fun but silly. Please consider not basing your personality off of this test. In today’s Freezing Rifle Test (best rifle for snow), we allow moisture/snow into the actions of different weapon systems and allow it to freeze. In order to best test how these freezing rifles would behave under a worst-case scenario.
