Why you shouldn't shoot someone else's reloads/handloads...

[Tyler Durden]

You might get his squibs.

don't try that with a glock...( thats a 1911 barrel for those that don't know)

be thankful 45 acp is a low persure round.

[sledgemeister]

That barrel doesnt actually look in that bad of shape!

[alfsauve]

Any details?

I would assume (maybe wrongly) that because the bullets never exited, the gun did not cycle.  The pressure should have vented through/by the case and into the action.  Which means the shooter had to manually rack the gun, for each subsequent shot.  Three times!!

[texcaliber]

I do not understand why it took four times to figure out there was a problem.? A 1911 that has a squib will need to be hand racked which leaves out rapid fire as an excuse.

On reflection, this has got to be intentional. A modern shooter, whom is at least literate, can not be this ignorant without intention.

^^^ I take it by your avatar TexCaliber that you are a USPSA'er.  Most folks aren't like us USPSA'ers.

Most folks IQ's drop by about 20 points or more once you put a gun in their hands.  Or they force another person to have a gun in their hands.

For example:

Ya, know a 1911 in .45 will typically hold 8 rounds in the magazine.  So I got to wonder about that picture....is that the first four rounds that he fired....or the last four?

Did shot numbers 1, 2, 3, & 4 land at his feet?

[texcaliber]

i understand what you are saying, but I still think this was an intentional action. Someone tried to mimic the "Gun and Ammo-torture test"

I really can not see anyone doing this on accident. Then again I have given human beings  too much credit in the pass on many different occasions.

It's a shame really to waste a perfectly good barrel like that.   

It is a lot like the rock stars up on stage who smash their guitars.

There are tons and tons of fifteen year olds who would love to have a free guitar and try to learn on their own.

[Doubting Alf here]   If this were staged then how do you know it was a perfectly good barrel?   It may have been more than past it's prime.

Which is why, I wondered if you had in details?
