Because people were throwing p and +p in them

No, just regular .40 where causing them to fail. Even Beretta had frame cracking issues when they made the first .40 cal 92s. They later reenforced the fames to compensate.

Wonder how the FBI tolerated .40 glocks exploding at first lol

They did not. Which is why glock had to go in and reenforce the frames. Still better than the old gen 1 and 2 glocks that melted if you left them in a hot car.

lol

And people complained about the XM8 melting

Yet their precious glocks would melt in hot cars back in the day

Well by the time the Xm8 was in testing polymers were better at heat resistance. The major issues with the XM8 was its weight and how how hard it was to mitigate issues.

I thought the XM8 was meant to be lighter though 🤔

Guess it wasn't?

it was lighter and that was kind of the problem, it was too light and even in a 5.56 the recoil was beating the shit out of it.

It was still 7 pounds almost the same as a m16 at the time

5.56 recoil beating the shit out of something

That’s funny

^

I can only imagine what it'd be like shooting the PDW XM8 then lol

Had something to do with the internals. The recoil caused them to fail. Its been a while since I even thought about the XM8.

I wonder what Malaysia thinks of the XM8

Since they've been using them for a few years now

The XM8 is a very weird gun

Design wise

I love aesthetics of it personally

It was I never liked it. I was a fan of the Masada. Shame it didn't get full development.

I'm probably biased towards though due it to using it in video games

Shit

In one game the XM8 has less recoil than an M4

That’s funny

And kills in 1 less shot body damage wise

Only thing that sucks is that you can't really customize it

But it does come with that nice red dot sight

Well that is videogames I guess. That always bugged me that certian guns had more damage than others...despite using the same caliber.

Same

Yeah the M4 is the weakest 5.56 gun in the multiplayer

Yet the AK 102 and XM8 do more damage despite shooting the same ammo

Let’s be honest. Most games with guns in them the developers are pussies and know very little on guns

Except for like

Yeah I used to play battle field and COD way back in the day, and the M4 was always the weak starter gun and then the M16 was the later game more powerful gun.

Escape from tarkov

@Itcilis In this game I'm speaking of they nerfed the guns for the multiplayer too

Like the P90 was strong in the single player

But in multiplayer it takes like 8-10 body shots to kill someone lol
