Duration: 7:42

This video highlights significant issues encountered with Armscor ammunition, leading to firearm malfunctions in multiple platforms including a Glock 17 and a Taurus G2. The presenter demonstrates how inconsistent case lengths and potential bullet setback in the Armscor rounds prevent proper chambering and cycling, causing the firearms to jam. The analysis suggests poor quality control in the ammunition is the root cause, not the firearms themselves.

Quick Summary

Armscor ammunition has been found to cause significant firearm malfunctions in platforms like the Glock 17 and Taurus G2. Issues include inconsistent case lengths, with some being longer than standard, and potential bullet setback, where bullets are pushed deeper into the casing, leading to jams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What issues were observed with Armscor ammunition?

Armscor ammunition exhibited inconsistent case lengths, with some cases being significantly longer than others. Additionally, some rounds showed signs of bullet setback, where the bullet was pushed deeper into the casing, potentially causing feeding problems and increased pressure.

What firearms experienced malfunctions due to Armscor ammo?

The video demonstrates malfunctions occurring in both a Glock 17 and a Taurus G2. In both instances, the firearms jammed, with the slide not fully closing, indicating a problem with the ammunition's ability to feed and chamber correctly.

How does bullet setback in ammunition cause malfunctions?

Bullet setback occurs when the bullet is pushed further into the cartridge case. This can reduce the internal volume of the case, leading to higher pressures when fired. It can also alter the overall length of the cartridge, preventing it from feeding or chambering properly in a firearm.

What is the recommended action regarding problematic Armscor ammunition?

Based on the observed malfunctions and quality control issues, the presenter strongly advises against shooting this particular Armscor ammunition. The recommendation is to avoid using it due to the risk of firearm jams and potential safety concerns.
