This video provides a critical review of Murom Mechanical Large Pistol Primers, highlighting significant reliability issues including squib loads and hangfires. The Gun Dungeon Host, an experienced reloader, demonstrates methodical testing using a Glock 20 and Springfield Armory XDM in 10mm, confirming the Murom primers as the sole cause of failure by comparing them to reliable Remington primers. The host strongly advises against using these primers due to safety concerns.
This video explains that ammunition does not truly expire if stored properly, emphasizing the importance of keeping it dry. While metal components like brass cases can discolor and corrode due to oxidation, this typically does not affect the functionality of the primer or powder. The speakers share personal anecdotes and cite Army testing suggesting ammunition can remain viable for up to 100 years under ideal conditions (dry, stable temperature).
This short video highlights a critical ammunition failure observed during a range session. A primer blew out of the case, indicating a potential manufacturing defect in the Tula 9mm ammunition. Such failures can lead to firearm malfunctions and safety concerns.
This video demonstrates a critical firearm malfunction where a magazine appears to have 'blown up' during a drill, ejecting its components and causing a stoppage. The incident highlights the importance of immediate safety protocols, including wearing eye and ear protection, and the need for thorough inspection after a malfunction. The speaker suspects a potential primer issue or obstruction within the bolt carrier group as the cause, emphasizing that even during routine drills, unexpected failures can occur.
This Mythbusters-style test debunks the theory that excessive lubricant causes primer failures in firearms. After submerging ammunition for Glock 24 (.40 S&W) and AR-15 (.223 Remington) in motor oil for nine days, both firearms fired all rounds without issue. The video emphasizes that while extreme submersion is not recommended, proper lubrication is essential for firearm reliability.
