As I recall, there were no actual catastrophic failures - rather, a failure was when the gun would not function correctly.
This was not a very hig dollar test. I have always wondered why the competition didn't rerun it. Certainly Remington had the wherewithall to do it!!
Per the value of strong lock-up, Greener (?) showed fairly clearly that there was minimul force trying to open the gun. I recall that he removed the bolts and fired a gun held shut with finger pressure. So, why all the issue with who has the strongest locking? Seems to me that durability of the hook/hinge pin is a much bigger issue, not to mention springs, firing pins, hammers, triggers, etc. Or, did I miss something?
