This machine gunner’s weapon had a complete meltdown.

After firing 700 rounds through an M249 SAW machine gun the suppressor on the end of the gun barrel completely snaps in two.

The suppressor’s failure leaves the testers in awe and excited shouting about what they’ve just seen.

The video was shot by range and training director Devin Gude from West Coast Armory in Bellevue, Washington.

As a farewell to the store manager, a former marine gunner, they allowed him to put the machine gun under extreme duress by firing 700 continuous rounds.
