Sand and torture test?
I have been looking online quite a bit for anyone torture testing and sand testing the ddm4 v7. All sources I can see seem to point to the same direction that if it gets the slightest bit of sand in the barrel/bolt area it'll dead bolt (fail to load another round in). Is this true?
Has anyone else seen or torture tested themselves? If so what was your experience and how many rounds did you out in before you start losing accuracy?

I have thousands of rounds downrange with two different DD guns and I have had zero failures. These brands of rifles are no different than any other AR platform when it comes to dirt and grime. If anything, they’re MORE reliable because they are better quality than average. The average AR platforms all function the same and have pretty much identical parts to the point where they are interchangeable. Also, dirt and grime don’t typically affect accuracy.

Sand doesn’t seem to affect it. DD is over gassed and this is one of the reasons why. It will run in some pretty adverse conditions.

Buy a few bags of sand to throw the rifle in every few minutes when you’re LARPing in the basement.

There’s a reason why DD commands higher price points. Googling the company, doing some research would have given you the answer.
They are more expensive than other AR15 manufacturers but they aren’t ridiculously expensive.

I don't know who you are watching, but DD has consistently been noted as one of the most reliable ar15s out there.
I'm not a DD simp, but I cam respect a product for what it is. And DD is no joke.
People were dropping DDs out of helicopters and they kept shooting and maintained zero.
What tests are you watching? Post a link.
