🎯 Monolith. Testing with enhanced ammunition 💥

Monolith. Испытания усиленным патроном

We continue testing the Monolith rifle. This is a crucial stage for us.

Monolith was created as a platform for ultra-long-range calibers, heavy loads, and operating at the limits of a weapon system's capabilities. Right now, the main question for us is not a pretty group on the target. An important question is durability.

The next stage of testing is conducted with an enhanced cartridge at deliberately unreasonable pressure that does not relate to normal weapon operation. At this stage, we check the actual structural margin, the function of the bolt group, the behavior of the locking lugs, the condition of the case, the opening of the bolt after firing, and the overall safety of the system under extreme load.

The next stage is driving the bolt group to destruction.
This is a separate test to understand the actual limit of the design and the nature of its behavior beyond standard operating conditions.

Would you like to see such a testing stage?
What, in your opinion, should be shown: the shooting itself, the condition of the case, the bolt operation after firing, the inspection of the bolt group, or the final breakdown after the test?
