I really do enjoy this series...
AR-15, Piston AR-15, AK-47, VEPR, Glock.

Nice.  Looks like a reason not to use lacquer coated ammo.  I wish they had used the same camera angle as the AR15 one, to see the fire coming out of the chamber area, hehe.

It wasn't the coating it was the primer sealant and given how much had to be burned through in full auto in a short amount of time I'll continue to use it.

Okay so here's what killed the 5.45x39 VEPR. The firing pin has this stuff literally bonded to it and it appears to be molten primer cup material combined with melted and pressurized primer sealant material. The barrel is slightly warped but the rest of the gun is perfectly fine. Faulty Ammo is likely to blame for this one, but don't worry we are going to revisit it. The substance on the end of the firing pin appears to have once been molten and cooled in the shape it's in...

I saw this video a little while back, this had to be VERY VERY expensive.

I've seen the same thing happen to AR15's when Wolf lacquered coated ammo was used.

Speaking of IV8888, anyone notice that his Facebook page got hijacked? Someone changed the name and started posting low-grade British clickbait all day, every day. Eric reported it long ago, but Facebook of course does nothing. I'm sure they think it's hilarious.
