I found this story on the another forum site and thought I'd share:

For those that don't want to read it all, basically this dude punishes a Glock pistol by various means including submersing it in mud, sand, talc powder etc.

He even shoots it with a .22 pistol, runs over it in his car and drops it from a moving aircraft at 500ft and it still shoots!

"ThePrepared Gear Review: Glock 21 .45acp (Performed by Bigbore of Adco Firearms)

For almost 10 years I’ve been abusing and neglecting my Glock 21. Its been a running joke among some friends and I. Nothing was planned or documented. As I tell people what it has been through, most simply don’t believe me. I guess I wouldn’t either. If someone told you their Glock has at least 150K rounds through it and has gone almost 15K rounds with no cleaning or maintenance would you believe them?"

Like my camera It's been dropped from over 1.5m into the floor, dropped in water twice, the dog once got it and chewed on it for over an hour, it's gotten hit by a piece of flying plastic, so hard that it knoched it out of my hands, and I have a pretty steady grip...

And it still works flawlessly

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

If I throw it into someone's head hard enough, sure.

While its all impressive I like how things like this will say "ran over with a car!"

1 corner of the the car is like 800lbs...Heavy, but not to a chuck of metal.

Apparently AUGs can do that sort of thing too.
