Nice work guys!

The majority of the ammo was tested on this and a second rifle. Even seemingly small changes had to be tested. Just is the design of the secondary sear, 10 design angle changes, had to be tested. Then changing the hammer spring there was more testing. Each new flute design, to many to count, was tested. Every ejector change, firing pin change,and firing pin design. all were tested. Anytime a failure occurred and was fixed it was tested again.
Vent hole placement was was set and could not be readily changed, however the number of holes and the angle were tested.

What about the barrel vent hole placement ?
Did you experiment with that too? (seen something like it on slow motion video)

7000 rounds !!
This will finally silence the retards who claimed original german gun was designed and made to withstand only few hundred rounds or so.
