It’s a stupid test, he’s just looking for views.
His mud must be pretty dry, otherwise water would seep into the guns and freeze solid, no gun will fire in that condition.

I find "torture" tests like this to be pointless. I appreciate stress testing firearms, running them hard through extreme use. Perhaps seeing them dropped in dirt, mud, water, shaken off, then run again. You know...stuff that >may< actually happen in the course of a firearms lifespan. Not sure if "dropping them in mud, then put in a freezer, then cleaned off with a hatchet" is common. Nor is "shooting with peanut butter/twinkies/syrup/whatever jamed into the receiver.
Nothing...I got nothing....don't even know what it has to do with Anything????
Didnt even watch because I'll never be in a situation where frozen mud will affect my weapons.
Boog nailed it, do 'standard' torture tests that might be seen - water, some dirt etc, but frozen mud?

That was pretty thick mud in which he froze them. He should try some thinner mud so that the slop can seep down through the cracks and crevasses into the actions of the pistols. He even plugged the ends of the barrels. I was not impressed.
I suppose you are correct, especially since the chamber was already loaded. I was thinking more in terms of having the barrel being another port of entry into the internals by which the mud could get to the inside of the action. He seemed to have the pistols fairly well protected from mud intrusion and fairly well oiled inside and out. The ice came off in rather big chunks leaving fairly clean surfaces. As an old duck hunter, I have seen many occasions in which my old A- 5 Browning had mud frozen to it that would not come off in large chunks. I think this demonstration was long on drama and short on substance.

and.....this is why I quit watching AK videos with Robski. Dumb to subject any firearm to very unlikely scenarios that you would go out of your way to prevent, even if they have a reputation for robustness.
I did a torture test one time where I baked three revolvers in a lasagna. Unfortunately I lost the video but the lasagna did come out very tasty.
