This experiment, led by a firearms enthusiast and tactical content creator, demonstrates what happens when a 9mm round is loaded backwards into a magazine. The test, using a Canik TTI Combat with a Trijicon SRO, shows that the round fails to chamber due to the bullet's shape catching on the slide. The host emphasizes proper malfunction clearing techniques, concluding that backwards-loaded ammunition is unreliable and unsafe.

Quick Summary

Firing a bullet backwards in a handgun experiment reveals it will not chamber properly. The bullet's shape catches on the slide, causing a failure to feed. This highlights the importance of correct ammunition loading and knowing malfunction clearing techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if you fire a bullet backwards?

If a bullet is loaded backwards into a magazine and chambered, it will typically fail to chamber properly. The bullet's ogive will catch on the slide or feed ramp, causing a malfunction that prevents the firearm from firing.

Can a handgun fire a backwards loaded round?

No, a handgun cannot reliably fire a backwards loaded round. The geometry of the bullet and casing prevents it from seating correctly in the chamber, leading to a failure to feed or failure to chamber malfunction.

What firearm was used in the backwards bullet experiment?

The primary firearm used in the experiment was a Canik TTI Combat handgun, equipped with a Trijicon SRO red dot sight and a weapon light.

How do you clear a failure to chamber malfunction?

A common method to clear a failure to chamber malfunction is the 'tap-rack-bang' drill: firmly tap the bottom of the magazine, rack the slide to eject the faulty round, and then attempt to fire again. If the malfunction persists, a slide lock reload might be necessary.
