Torture tests included a dust chamber and a rust test.

The dust chamber test resulted in six of ten rounds failing to fire on the first attempt, and one failure to chamber.

Much like the dust chamber, this controlled test environment allows the engineers to make minute changes to vehicle design that have a big impact on the final product.

Test conditions: The test is carried out in a dust chamber in which talcum powder is being kept suspended in the air by means of a dust distributor or similar device.
