Blew Up My Barrel With a Squib

[Jeff300]

OMG! Lmao Now that is the derail of the month right there. New meaning to the word squib round.

[JaycenRigger]

I swear to God that’s never happened to me before.

[Joe]

On practice rounds, I go cheap too. I practice with higher quality here and there but I run pretty cheap stuff for fun plinking. Or just reloads

@g.willikers

You’re not the first or the last to have a squib load.

This happened to me last year. Luckily, I realized what happened and didn’t fire the next cylinder.

[JaycenRigger]

Holy crap.

HEY squibward

So, what happens when a round is fired into a squib? a friend stopped over, said someone gave him a S&W revolver, had a bullet stuck in the barrel, can get it out he asked, sure. It was near the end and had a phillips screwdriver mark where it looked like someone tried to drive it back I took it to work today and spent the day working on it I didn’t have a camera when I did the work but wish I had I gave a couple taps, it didn’t budge. I figured drilling out the center was best, so I drill…

Squibward shoots again!!

The same friend that brought over the .38 squib had another friend with a squib, brought it over, not certain how many we actually have here but its more than one This was a .22 revolver [20190503_155425%20(1)]

@Joe

Or just reloads

My brother’s 308 loads squibbed in his wife’s rifle. I stopped her before the next shot. She was pissed, especially when her 45 got a squib shortly thereafter as well,
That was early on in his reloading. He is much better at it now.

Early in my use of my Lee pro 1000 I ran a batch of 45’s. Somewhere in the process the powder hopper was shut off. There was like 50 out of 250 rnds with no powder. That was a fun day at the range knocking bullets out of the barrel.

@safcrkr

my boys started yelling DON’T SHOOT

Sharp, fast thinking boys!

[LonewolfMcQuade]

You found @Caw 's stash…

[Mongo]

Have a lawyer buddy? a smartly worded lawyer will get the ammo company coughing up the repair cash and replacing the unshot ammo.

@shooterrex

no powder…knocking bullets out of the barrel.

Primer was enough to propel them into the barrel?

[mjrfd99 (Mychael Rules)]

Early '80’s I had an UZI squib one in the barrel. I cycled it and BOOM.
UZI spit both bullets out and kept running.
Grandma’s peeps make good shit.

OH and a .223 WILL chamber and fire in an AK
Shit happens while SUT in the dark

[shooterrex (Rex)]

Yes primer sent the bullet about 2 inches into the barrel. These were cast lead so take the barrel out , smack brass rod with a hammer and the bullet pops out.

[JaycenRigger]

My gunsmith told me about squibs and said indeed the primer will push it part way down the barrel with no powder.

[JaycenRigger]

Thanks for the info!

[JaycenRigger]

I respect them. They’ve kind of had to figure out how to fight to survive.

[98Z (Tom)]

Any time you get the “pop and no kick” - you stop, clear that fucker, and check that barrel. The pop-and-no-kick was a squib…

This is what happens to the people that don’t check it - for real.

Hi-Point warranty center finds carbine barrel stuffed with 35 bullets

[safcrkr (Mike)]

And amazingly the High Point didn’t explode, or at least it doesn’t look like it.

On another forum a guy was shooting his Kel Tec 380 and had a squib. He didn’t notice and fired again. It burned his hand a bit but not seriously. He looked and found the first slug on the ground in front of him and the second one just barely sticking out of the barrel. He sent it in to the factory for inspection and all was well. No damage at all.
