I am calling Bull on this! I would maybe believe the customers were shooting junk, overpowered reloads but not factory ammo. I dont care what the case is, it is not going to cause this much damage, especially in one shop. 20???????yahoshua wrote:I was browsing through the posts here and founf this topic.
Since I work here at the Pasadena Gun Center I may as well explain how this ban on Blazer Aluminum came about:
When CCI began producing Blazer Aluminum ammunition there were several problems with the ammunition (aside from the fact that aluminum cannot withstand the chamber pressures without severe deformation) and several guns blew up when customers were shooting blazer ammunition. To date, more than 20 customer guns have blown up while on our firing range using Blazer aluminum cased ammunition. The 3 guns (and/or parts of) pictured in that photograph are a Rossi .38 Special revolver, a S&W 9mm auto, and a Llama .45 auto. I have also personally witnessed a Kimber 1911 barrel be destroyed by Blazer Aluminum ammunition back in June 2008 or so.
And that's the story....
