Something you shot or picked up at the range?


It looks like powder got hot, as in high pressure. Is the primer bulged? It should be smooth with the firing pin indent. If the indent is even with the rest of the primer or the primer has a small hump, then the load was too hot for the firearm. I've also seen this when the wrong round is fired in a gun, for example .380 in a 9mm.

In one respect I agree with Ghost... On the other hand, I'm thinking the complete opposite. There's a chance the charge isn't burning hot enough to expand the casing to prevent blowback. If that's the case, you are actually in an under pressure situation. That could spell trouble if you rapid fire as you are now more likely to wind up with a round stuck in the chamber. Try to switch out ammo. If it still does it then I'd get the barrel chamber checked. Might not be perfectly cut.

If the barrel checks out then leave it with a gunsmith to diagnose. Any issue like that tells me there is a problem and no firearm should exhibit problems.

It's good it was an isolated incident, but it points out that in today's ammo situation (manufacturers trying to fill demand), it's really important to pay attention to felt recoil and sound. If you have a round that doesn't feel or sound 'right', it's time to stop and inspect the firearm. I saw a Thompson copy have 5 ( :eek:) .45 ACP rounds stuck in the barrel because of one low charge round that didn't clear the muzzle. The idiot was lucky the carbine didn't blow up on him.

Then you got a single, under-charged round. It happens. But certainly not a good thing.

For those who don't know a while back BATFE reclassified the Can Cannon by X Products so that when it was on a AR-15 lower it was an SBR and a AR-15 Pistol lower an AOW. That put guys like me who owned the Can Cannon in the dog house due to not having any SBR lowers or AOW lowers. Luckily I had a friend with a SBR willing to babysit mine ever since that ruling came out.



X Products promised to fix this and they have.



The new design of the gas port passed BATFE approval and X Products have set up a replacement program for the new gas tube.

Also X Products has released the grappling hook for the Can Cannon. :tup:

Comes in different colors, grey, red, blue, and gold.
