Hi everyone, see the attached video of a squib round. (You can fast forward to 1:30 when the shooting starts. At 1:40 the squib round occurs.) This is a good training video in case it ever happens to you. I have only seen maybe 4 or 5 squib rounds ever, (and I worked on a police range), so they are very rare, but if you dont recognize what you have you could be setting yourself up for serious injury. I saw a barrel blow up because the shooter didnt recognize what had happened. The squib round itself is not going to blow up, its the round fired on top of it that can cause your barrel to blow up. We had a student with a squib round in October with his AR15. Luckily I was standing next to him and recognized the difference in sound and recoil, so we disassembled his weapon. Sure enough there was a squib round in the barrel. A gunsmith or armorer can remove the squib round without damaging your barrel. Use quality ammo, and dont shoot ammo that has been laying outside in the elements to avoid squib rounds. Graham youtube/watch?v=qcHJajwkWyM
