Was sweet how fast he changed out the barrel ! I remember in Saving Private Ryan how hanks tells them to rush when the germans are changing out their barrels ,but I thought it would take a lot longer.Thanks for posting the vid.

He didnt change the barrel after he shot it. You don't do that. It is way too hot to touch with out gloves or a tool.
a hell of alot faster than changing out a barrel of a 50cal.

50 cal barrels take forever to change out because you have to have them at the right position on the threads or else you throw off heading and spacing and the whole thing goes to shit.
