Was that you?

I feel like I remember commenting in another thread that I'd never seen a 7.62x39 upper run good.

I retract my previous statement.

Supposedly the Mutant is the One that Works.

I showed this to a friend of mine, and his reaction was pretty great:

I'd say it's his truck; if he wants to put bullets through it, that's his business. :lol:

My Mutant has been flawless with brass and steel cased ammo, except when I tried to run it with a brass catcher. It even runs with my 75 round Chinese style (supposedly made in Romania) drum.

ETA - I've got a Mutant and an F-150, but I believe I will pass on emulating that idjit. :shock:

It is actually a pretty common error when shooting over the hood of a truck. I've heard of more than a few figuring it out the hard way.

No one appears to have been hurt, and it would seem at least 3 of the Basic 4 worked.

All of this has happened before, all of this will happen again.

Not my truck... I have seen similar done using a dropped tailgate as a rest too.
