I'm guessing word never got to you about all the fire fights and lives lost in nam as a result of the reliability of the early m16 
Awesome thread btw

Its been a couple years since I did anything with it because its been buried in my back yard. I dug it up today, and other than the spots where the Tennifer was ground off it seems pretty good.
It doesnt look like the trigger spring did too well.
It seems to only rust where the tennifer was removed. It doesnt look good in the barrel. Maybe it was a thin spot in the tenifer and a hundred thousand rounds wore through?
The top of the barrel wasnt eroded along the edge when I buried it. I dont know what happened there?
I'll let it soak for a day in EvapoRust and see if I still have a functional weapon.
video will be here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWQOoYFT2-4

this is a fantastic thread and a great test. I bought my 3rd gen. g21 this last summer. I always new glocks are absolute tools that are built for simplicity and reliability, but this thread really makes me feel that much better about owning a 21. thank you again for the testing.

Mind you the muzzle end landed first, meaning point down, then the barrel would have to be obstructed with mud. He claims he just pulled it out of the mud and fired it. No checking the bore. This goes against the laws of physics and gravity, because the barrel/bore would have filled with mud. Don't try to argue this because you think your Glock is indestructible. And if this is true and your glock does go against the laws of physics, which is totally impossible, then it would not fire. Due to the fact that everything in the universe has gone caput.
Simple fact of life, you cannot argue the laws of mathematics.

As a mechanical engineer that actually uses math and the laws of physics can I ask you to stop using these words?
You don't know what you're talking about. The laws of physics have names, there are a lot of them. If you are a physicist be specific, if you're not then stop referring to sciences you do not understand.
If the fact that you cannot argue that laws of mathematics is a fact, then why do mathematicians and physicists and engineers constantly CONSTANTLY argue these things?
Further, the modern understanding of basic (Newtonian) mechanics that govern things like dropping guns out of planes after they take off from treadmills has been pretty well understood for only about 300 years (he was born in 1643). The universe has been around for somewhere between 2200 and infinity years depending on your religious beliefs, so we haven't really had the time to "iron everything out" yet.
Anyways, you don't think this guy really did this stuff, or you think that he exaggerated his results. Please leave it at that, and qualify your opinions in a reasonable way, but don't just say "I'm right because of science".
Stop being a troll.

Thank you bigbore. For coming back and keeping in touch here and for doing this test in the first place.
My 17 year old G21 is still going strong.

Keep up the good work, er goofing off, er "scientific" tests.
It has been entertaining to follow.
Disregard the clowns.
Carry on!

Wow, that G-21 belongs in a Glock, Inc. display case.

Epic thread. Boosts my confidence in Glocks sky-high.

I know it must be hard finding more things to subject it too but I have an idea. I say get a Mack gravel bucket w/ about 20 ton of rock and dump on it. then recover and continue to embarrass other manufacturers.

 .... hilarious. Bigbore ... you should seriously put that 21 up for sale here on the GT "want ads". You could probably name your price and have people jumping at the chance to buy it ... its like a piece that should be in a museum some day!
