Video: How Many Rounds Does It Take to Melt a Glock?

Specifically, how many rounds would it take to melt a fully automatic Gen 3 Glock 17? You can probably tell by the huge pile of magazines in the video below that it’s going to take a while.

From behind the protection of a welding helmet, Eric of Iraqveteran8888 runs through mag after mag like he has an orchard of 9x19mm trees growing in his backyard. The Glock he’s using was modified by Quiet Riot Firearms—with the proper paperwork—to add a registered auto sear that turns the iconic semiautomatic pistol into something that absolutely requires a stock. So how well will polymer hold up under continuous fire? The results may surprise you.

Glock’s warranty department is not going to be happy about this.
