Didja know you can actually fire a 5.56 round in a 7.62x39 AR? I don't recommend it. |
Two very similar guns, but of different caliber, went to the range with me this morning. I like to get my dumbass quota taken care of early in the day, so I just popped a magazine in, charged it and fired. It kinda went "Poof! Lotsa smoke and the mag dropped out, smoking. As soon as I saw the other rounds in the magazine I realized  I guess the bullet went out the barrel, although I doubt any speeed records were set. The bore and the rest of the gun seem fine now, all cleaned up. There was a lot of debris, unburned powder I suppose, in the barrel. You can see that the primer strike is off center. As close as I care to come to a kaboom. |
Dude, Charlie did it all the time in Nam. Wanna know something else cool? We couldn't shoot their ammo. Talk about an unfair advantage  |
