Heat and harden/quench it then?
Have you tried? I'd bet you could get a lot more rounds through it then you'd think.
Of course I haven't tried, that would be illegal. Also it would be impossible for me to do so on account of a tragic boating accident.
[Edit] but really the forces are almost certainly well more than non-hardened steel could take. If you can bend it easily one way, it can be bent easily the other.
Yeah my vote is solidly in the "it won't last" category.
BFSIII is just as good and still legal. I can dump 30rds in 3 seconds.
BFSIII
WTF is this black magic? Why have I never heard of it!?!?
sure, but it isn't taking that much force. It's function isn't to take the brunt of recoil or something like that.
I'm not strongly in either camp. If I ever saw one in action and it continued to function, great. Certainly I hope you're correct.
The force of the BCG smacking the top of it at high speed will flatten it down/deform it pretty quick. I really don't know how they got it to run so good in the video, unless it's like the 10th attempt.
If it was made out of something like a sawzall blade or a AK hammer spring (wound steel) it would be a different story.
