I've personally had rifles fail after firing thousands of rounds, which can happen in a surprisingly short period of time.

- int_19h 8y agoI'm not surprised - obviously, the longer you go, the higher percentage of them will fail, and that's true for AK and others just as much. I'm specifically addressing the myth that because of the Stoner action depositing more carbon inside the receiver, you must clean AR much more often than other assault rifles, and that it will fail quickly if you do not. So these experiments show that carbon accumulation is not the issue. There are other things about AR design that make it less reliable in some cases (and more reliable in others, like that infamous mud test), but they apply to both DI and piston ARs.
