It was done to illustrate a point to a group of military guys when one of the rifles slid off a truck and would no longer hold a zero. The comment was made that "any scope would fail" from the same treatment. Not so, nor close.

I'm not saying that you should use any scope as a hammer, I am saying that's scopes are aiming devices and if they fail the rifles pretty useless at that point.
