These are 3rd party test results that contracted by the government to see how our M4 BCGs operate in “extreme” environments. These experts concluded that FailZero BCGs will result in “a reduction of malfunctions and provide the added benefit of reduced cleaning time and lubrication costs”.
Excerpts from the report:
“While the above tests are considered to be extreme, they are similar to some of the very conditions we have observed during past Composite Adversary Team (CAT) training cycles, when training time is so precious that it overrides proper firearms cleaning and maintenance.
As shown in the above test results, the (FailZero) Test Rifle was the only rifle to complete all tests while producing few or no stoppages. Conversely, when a test was stopped involving one of the (Non-FailZero) control rifles, the rifle could no longer be cleared though normal clearing procedures, but occasionally required armorer level skills to dismantle the firearm to clear the malfunction and return it to an operational condition. The testing also showed that in the absence of wet lubrication, carbon buildup and fouling is reduced and gives nothing for debris to cling to, allowing for easier and quicker cleaning.
It is the opinion of Unwin’s ESS Technicians, based upon the above testing, incorporating the FAILZERO product into the HS-61 ESS firearms will result in a reduction of malfunctions and provide the added benefit of reduced cleaning time and lubrication costs.”

“I have to start this post with an apology to FailZero: I did many bad things to your bolt and you aren’t getting it back. I hope that’s okay. Back in April I received a FailZero AR15 BCG with no hammer.
(After) 2,500 brutal rounds of steel cased ammo with no lubrication, ran with all sorts of dirt and sand through it from our Hexmag Torture Test, been thrown down range, poured soda on it, used it in all my local competitions, and I am sure more things have been done to it that I can’t even remember at this point – the only issue I have with the bolt is this: I have NO video evidence of any malfunctions nor witnessed any evidence of failures while I have been shooting. So now I can’t make a popular YouTube video trashing this BCG, my fame will have to wait for another day. The real fame should go to this bolt as it has been 100% reliable and functioned through the hell we have put through this BCG. The FailZero BCG has just ran and ran no matter what is run through it.
This bolt is legit when it comes to coated bolt carrier groups. It does what it says and it does it reliably. The coating makes it far easier to clean than standard bolts and, most importantly, it is reliable as hell. So whether you have an AR15 just to plink with, you are a competition shooter, or someone who uses their AR to defend their home, I would highly recommend a FailZero BCG as your bolt carrier group.”
