Frequently Asked Questions

What caused the BondArms Bullpup 9 to malfunction?

The BondArms Bullpup 9 malfunctioned when firing Blazer ammunition, which lacked a taper crimp. This allowed the bullet to be pushed back into the casing, dumping powder and causing the bullet to re-enter the casing like a wadcutter.

What kind of malfunctions did the 45 caliber Luger exhibit?

The 45 caliber Luger experienced failures to eject, where the spent cartridge did not clear the firearm. Instead, the cartridge would jam in the front of the toggle mechanism, preventing further operation.

Why is a taper crimp important in ammunition?

A taper crimp secures the bullet within the casing, preventing it from being pushed back (setback) due to recoil or chambering forces. Without it, powder can spill, and dangerous pressure spikes can occur.
