So I took a 2 day carbine course this weekend. It was an absolute blast, but the weather was insane. Freezing cold, non stop heavy rain, occasional hurricane force winds.
There were about 30 people in the class. Weapons systems range from high end to low end. Most people were average joes. There were a few guys in full kit, with the most insane **** hanging off the front of their rifles.
The first day weather wasn't horrible, saw a few people problems with some rifles but overall nothing major.
Day two the weather was insane. Freezing cold, non stop heavy rain, occasional hurricane force winds. Every rifle was sopping wet and filty. There were about 6-8 guns that couldn't run more than a few rounds without an jam, FTF, FTE, etc. The range masters changed a few gas blocks and rebuilt a few BCG's. They still had problems and had to oil these guns every few rounds it seems. These were all DI guns. Most notably, they were the guns of the mall ninja's... in hind site all there gear was probably airsoft haha.
It was just an odd occurrence to me, and a real eye opener for the others that couldn't get their guns to work. So why only problems with the DI guns?
All my friends including myself had piston guns and they ran perfectly.
