The Freezing Pistol Test. Back to start more internet arguments over whether your pistol can function in arctic environments. This was a very interesting one. We figured we could accelerate the freezing with the aid of dry ice. And accelerate the freezing process it did. Hope you enjoy.

    The disrespect ya’ll put on the M18’s name by calling the M&P the champ… lol

    The DE was never gonna be a serious carry gun, but it’s unfair no not mention that it had the only safety that didn’t freeze up. I blame this oversight on the fact that the whole crew died inside when the M&P fired.



  2. bic1498 on May 24, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    LMAO – M&P 9C 2.0 is my EDC. Stock trigger, grip angle and texturing for me are better than G19/G17.



  3. Scot Wilson on May 24, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    Wtf man you can’t do that, shit myself when you were tapping the desert Eagle 😂



  4. A on May 24, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    makes me really like my m&p



  5. Rudy Ramirez on May 24, 2022 at 6:43 pm

    The Glock let me down I for sure thought the Glock was gunna pull through. 😭



  6. phightshifter on May 24, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    Looking at my m&p right now, “you’re a good boy and I always knew it”



  7. JESTR_ ACTUAL on May 24, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    Didn’t the M17/18 pass saltwater trials too? Or am I thinking of something else

    After watching the whole video, synapses is, if you’re a hipster running a CZ, a sigboi running the M17/18 or a poor running an M&P, you’re good to go in arctic, frozen conditions



  8. Yixian Wong on May 24, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    Literal black ice skin for free



  9. DIY Dad on May 24, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    Turns out springs get really stiff when they get wet and freeze. Incredible science really. I actually did a real world test like this on my pistols. You’re in northern Wisconsin being chased by a bear (this actually happened to a family last week!) you drop your pistol in the snow, will it fire? He tested a CZ 75 here, I packed mine in the snow and left it there for a bit to freeze, while the area between the hammer and firing pin was packed full of snow the snow actually cushioned the hammer, but luckily hammer fired guns have second strike so a quick DA pull cleared the snow out and she was back in business. 👍



  10. Quinlann Howard on May 24, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    I mean at least take the red dots and flashlughts off man



  11. itsBjorno on May 24, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    Grand Thumb after shooting M9 "k, skin walkers dead" lmao, I fuckin hate this dude. XD



  12. SweetVictory13 on May 24, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    Very interesting test… well done👌
    I had my pistol freeze once on a hunting trip… lucky for me that boar was just running and not actually tryin to hurt me
    Since then i use silikon grease on all the non-metal parts and high viscosity oil on the metal ones and it never froze up again… even when dropped in water… silly me



  13. WombatMuffler on May 24, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    If my sidearm cannot function on the surface of Neptune, then I cannot depend on it. Thank you Garandthumb for opening my eyes.



  14. slowbladepenetrates on May 24, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    Is that intro an "It’s in the blood" reference?

    Holy cow, I’m surprised by the little M&P! And the 1911 and Glock fared about the same as one another. Still two of our okay-est handguns. 😀



  15. Robert Lilly on May 24, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    I was hoping to see you muscle-crush through some of the ice on the triggers



  16. Landon Uesele on May 24, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    M&P baby!



  17. The Trackhoe Man on May 24, 2022 at 6:56 pm

    Freeze the bullets for ice cubes.



  18. 12ealDeal on May 24, 2022 at 6:58 pm

    Someone call TFB about that Glock!



  19. Jacob Herd on May 24, 2022 at 6:59 pm

    You should try the Archon type B



  20. Cpt. McBro on May 24, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    Smiles in shield plus



  21. Kenny Ducote on May 24, 2022 at 7:06 pm

    Try freezing rifles up



  22. Oklahoma Overland on May 24, 2022 at 7:06 pm

    I was honestly worried the polymer guns would Crack or break from freezing all in all impressive.



  23. synonym on May 24, 2022 at 7:07 pm

    That jumpscare with the deag caught me off guard😂



  24. Martin Swiney on May 24, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    Double dog dare you to do the same test on Hi Points. I love high end firearms. Have never and will never own a Hi Point. They digust me. But as other Utube channels have shown they are surprisingly tough. Try it if you will. It will only disgust me more if they actually work. But I think their basic design would prevent most of the failures you found in this test. Thank you for the interesting video.



  25. Quinlann Howard on May 24, 2022 at 7:10 pm

    I mean at least take the red dots and flashlughts off man



  26. Braunathen on May 24, 2022 at 7:10 pm

    Had to subscribe when he was talking about skinwalkers delivering packages. Great informational and hilarious video



  27. greasefitting49 on May 24, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    Shoutout to Charlie with the water. He was on the ball lol



  28. Nick Graham on May 24, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    All the SIG haters that said weapon wasn’t tested on suicide watch.



  29. DarkestVampire92 on May 24, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    This convinced me that Desert Eagles are more reliable than Glocks. It might have had a dead trigger, but half the gun was still working.



  30. rcrim julz on May 24, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    is it possible? if you’re gun froze and you pour your pee on it . will it work??



  31. Mountain Man on May 24, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    I watched my blow his 10mm Glock up in -8 degree winter weather. The slide literally shaterd when he fired it out Ice fishing!



  32. Samael Sandalphon on May 24, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    Imagine having to pee on your gun in a survival situation 😂.



  33. Universal_Wisdom on May 24, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    I’m here to say 24:42 actually made my heart stop.



  34. Gabe Robinson on May 24, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    Where was the makorov



  35. the blue wing one on May 24, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    congratulations with your new child



  36. Daniel Sheby on May 24, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    Love this video for its scientific purposes but also the drama music



  37. Lars on May 24, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    Hey mr Thumb, what is your jacket? Thanks



  38. Takanka Lappland on May 24, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    bro got all the black ice skins



  39. Fernando Sandoval on May 24, 2022 at 7:21 pm

    Don’t matter how much you paid for a fancy pistol you always will need that budget workhorse 😂 congrats m&p and sig



  40. Gustavo Barraza on May 24, 2022 at 7:22 pm

    No matter what he says, this test is valid. I can totally see myself falling in freezing water, hunting skin walkers. Shocking results for sure.



  41. That Spectre From Valhalla on May 24, 2022 at 7:25 pm

    Do you have an FN 5.7? I’d like to see how that holds up lol



  42. vector150 on May 24, 2022 at 7:27 pm

    I was so happy to see the glock fail and sig not 🙂



  43. Callsign Creeper on May 24, 2022 at 7:28 pm

    Frozen shotty’s coming up! 1301 smokes M4.



  44. Jonathan M on May 24, 2022 at 7:29 pm

    I DON’T WANT ANYONE TO TALK SHIT ABOUT MY M&P 2.0 EVER AGAIN lol
    I’ve been saying for years there’s guns that compete, and in my opinion, have surpassed glocks for some years now.



  45. Shekel Master on May 24, 2022 at 7:30 pm

    You should do a vid on the Steyr L9-A2 😉



  46. Joseph Nobles on May 24, 2022 at 7:33 pm

    Sells Glock



  47. Zone6 EA on May 24, 2022 at 7:34 pm

    Every great video starts with a good 180



  48. Nick Valintine on May 24, 2022 at 7:34 pm

    Conww3 is so fun but sometimes by the time you join people will immediately attack you but it feels great when you win



  49. Rah pathy on May 24, 2022 at 7:36 pm

    Yo stus, try and make ice rounds with that dry ice



  50. WhispiringEyes on May 24, 2022 at 7:37 pm

    Garand smacking the guns against the wood had me cringing every single time.
