Videos tagged with Bullet Obstruction

A squib load occurs when a firearm cartridge has insufficient or no powder, causing the bullet to lodge in the barrel. This is a dangerous malfunction that can lead to catastrophic firearm failure if a subsequent round is fired. Key indicators include a quiet 'thump' sound, failure to cycle, or a missed target. Immediate cessation of firing and barrel inspection are crucial safety steps.

A H&R 999 revolver experienced a severe barrel obstruction with 13 stuck .22 LR bullets due to the shooter continuing to fire after missing targets. The barrel did not bulge, and the obstruction stopped at the breech, highlighting the critical importance of immediate cessation of fire when shooting anomalies occur to prevent dangerous situations.

This video demonstrates the performance of Remington Subsonic .22LR ammunition in a variety of semi-automatic rifles. The presenter shoots the 38-grain, 1,050fps rounds through a Marlin Model 60, Marlin Model 795, Savage Model 64f, Ruger 10/22, and a Remington 597. A crucial safety warning is included about the potential for barrel obstructions when firing low-powered .22LR ammunition in rifles, advising users to check the bore if they are uncertain a bullet has exited.
