How Dangerous is a SQUIB Load???
This video demonstrates the dangers of a squib load by intentionally causing one in a Glock 17. A squib load occurs when a projectile is underpowered and lodges in the barrel. Firing a subsequent round into this obstruction can cause dangerous pressure spikes. While the Glock 17's design prevented catastrophic failure, the barrel sustained significant damage, including a bulge and crack.
