Default cartridge failure

I've been playing with the bump fire lately and have that thing running. Zipper fast , but today it self destructed, I had a cartridge rim rupture and blew out the extractor and ejector. I was having problems with no bump after a few mags, I found out if you oil the **** out of the bolt it screams, more oil the better, clean at the end of the day.

Kinda amazing how things break when you use a gun in a way that it was not designed.

It wasn't a cartridge failure.....Somehow your rifle fired the round before the bolt was fully closed.....With no chamber support it let go.......

I feel NO SYMPATHY for people who blow up their firearms playing "I've got a machine gun"!

My cousin's 15-22 blew its extractor out the first day and he wasn't doing any of that. Firing pin chipped a couple weeks later. I've seen enough evidence to think this model needs some work. Glad I didn't get one now. Many good stories I've read, but too many bad experiences.

My family has three ... probably 50k total through them ... ZERO PROBLEMS.

It is not possible for an AR to fire out of battery unless there was a defect in the mechanism (dirt or mechanical). "Bump firing" had nothing to do with this.

The 15-22 is NOT AN AR!

It is an AR pattern rifle. Like almost all .22LR semi-auto firearms is is blowback operated, and not a locked breech. An OOB is entirely possible under particular circumstances... most often a dirty chamber or bolt face.
