ARTrooper Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I'm guessing he never cleaned his gun either. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Issue that guy a muzzle loader. In the Civl War, in the stress of combat, soldiers would sometimes load their musket, neglect to put a percussion cap on, think they were firing it, and ram another minie ball down the barrel. Post battle, salvagers would sometimes find muskets with minie balls all the length of the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame you for "dropping this" I saw it on Facebook earlier. I really have a problem believing this could actually happen------35 lead (looks like .45 wadcutters), being fired with only primers? and they re-barreled the piece and sent it back ? Warrenty? come on folks! My15 year old teenage son reloaded 50 rounds of .45 semi -wad cutters and entered a pistol Metallica silhouette match in Pampa,Texas back in 1979 and on the second string (pigs) he fired a round with no powder didn't understand what happened and fired the Colt 1911 .45 ACP again, the slide locked back and I had to hammer the slide pin out. the original barrel was bulged about half way down and there were two wad cutter bullets jammed there I drilled them out and kept the barrel for a demonstration item in our club pistol basic course.

I really have a problem believing this could actually happen------35 lead (looks like .45 wadcutters), being fired with only primers? It only takes one squib load, man. "Pop and no kick" is what the Army used to train during BRM. A no-powder charge will never get a projectile out of the barrel, on primer-only. Hell, you'll have a very bad time just trying to push a projectile down the barrel with a cleaning rod - won't happen. That first one never gets out, and you don't notice and keep shooting - the second one, even if it's full power, is only going to slam into the first one and mushroom it tighter into the barrel. Then, you just stack 'em up behind each other. One of the gun shops I went to in NOVA had a revolver barrel in the display case - cut in half like that. 6 projectiles stacked up in there. Any time you get a pop and no-kick, you inspect it and see what's up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 had an amt backup shooting old .380 squib. round went off and being a new used gun i noticed something different. the slide did run the full length but didn't close fully. I was on target and thought to myself that felt funny? sure enough the .30 gn pill was in the 2.5 barrel about half way. we found a drill bit the same size and hammerd it out. worked fine after that. but im guessing the ammo had gotten wet? it was given to me free on a motorcycle deal. I run my own reloads or bought new by me! I cant imagin stacking 35 rounds and not noticing something! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I’ll believe it when I see the rounds he was firing and the markings on the barrel. This was 100% intentionally done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have saved several rifles of his that were just rusting away. he would buy them and never clean them after going deer hunting in the snow or rain.
