Thanks for the heads up but I dont use this type of ammo anyways.....but anyone considering it should see this.

The ammo blew up the gun during testing.

They clearly showed the damage to the firearm from using a plastic cased cartridge

Pretty stupid idea if the weapon isn’t designed for it.

The main problem seems to be using this stuff in rifles with fluted chambers. In essence the case is somewhat unsupported where the flutes are and it causes it to blowout (not as ductile as brass). It should be noted that some guns with fluted chambers such as the HK G3 are problematic with regular ammo (don’t like Winchester .308, for instance. These are not gas operated, but delayed blowback in operation. That explains the PTR91 (CETME, G3 clone)blowup, but not the FN FAL.

Wow. Thanks!

Thanks for the post. Crazy stuff.

OK... Important note for later if this stuff ever comes up cheap at a gun show or something.

Thanks for the heads-up!

They should have told him in no uncertain terms that the ammo should not be used with a fluted chamber.
