SP-10 is marginally fixed
I think I’ll declare that the SP-10 is marginally fixed. Why do I say this? Well, I ran another 600 rounds through it today (well, technically yesterday, but I’m still awake). I had 10 or 15 FTE’s. I don’t remember exactly, because I started to get really pissed off about them. Sometimes it was a failure to eject. Sometimes it was a failure to extract. A few times it was a failure to load. So, by the standards that Special Weapons gave me (ie 99% reliable on Wolf ammo), it is still broke, because we’re down to somewhere like 97.5% reliability or slightly better. Now, about that “marginal” part. I didn’t clean the thing after the previous 600 rounds. So, in total, it did something like 13 to 18 FTE’s in 1200 rounds (98.5% reliability or slightly better). That’s still not in specs. Considering I’ve put over 1600 rounds through one of my AK’s without a hiccup in a single session and 1450 rounds through one of my Makarovs without a hiccup in a single session, I consider this an abysmal result.
I found some interesting notes, though. It seems that I might have higher reliability in rapid fire than doing slow fire. I found FTE’s less likely to occur when I would do runs with higher rates of fire (like 30 rounds in 25 seconds), than a normal slow rate like 1 round every 2 seconds.
Now, I think I’ll probably just sell it. It’s just not worth the frustration anymore.
