Has anyone tried clearing a squib with a blank? Would it even work or will it turn your gun AND your hand into confetti?

You NEVER clear any kind of obstruction in the barrel by attempting to shoot the gun in any way, including with blanks.
Parker Moore
If a bullet squibs it's because the bullet is out of spec or the barrel is so fouled that it can't fit through it even at pressure.
If the pressure from firing the squib didn't get it out a blank isn't gonna work either. All you're gonna do is blow your receiver/barrel up and seriously injure yourself.

I'm gonna have to stop you right there m8 and remind you that currently there is no mandatory regulation (in most states) firearm training to own a firearm. anything you do with that firearm is done at your own risk, and at the risk of other potential prosecution of the law if you pose a sufficient danger to others.
Leo Brooks
If it happened because of an underloaded round then go ahead otherwise you risk losing your gun and even your hand

>or the barrel is so fouled that it can't fit through it even at pressure.
So why was he so careless? At first he allowed a pause to see the bullet clear the barrel but then he starts doing quick taps

stupid.
use a wooden dowel. push the squib out the barrel in the direction it was traveling, from the chamber. you should have a dowel on hand for your caliber when shooting.
Christian Johnson
use a squib rod like a normal person, please. ur gunna hurt yourself, or worse, someone else.
Leo Moore
No no no, I'm asking if anyone's been retarded enough to try it.

Yes! It works every time, but only if you look down the barrel while you clear the squib.
Bentley Kelly
The barrel itself isn't as strong as the chamber so if you put pressure behind a jammed obstruction there's a good chance it'll blow up. A normal bullet it's technically an obstruction in front of a charge, but the process is designed to begin in the chamber itself.
You need to get a rod that's a softer metal than your barrel and jam it out. If you have a chrome or melonite barrel that shouldn't be difficult. It's a pain in the ass to get one out but it shouldn't harm the barrel.

A blank can absolutely clear a squib, just ask Brandon Lee.
If you don't know the story

>prop revolver is a real gun
>loaded with deactivated real bullets so the cylinder doesn't look empty during scenes
>they still have real primers in them
>at some point somebody pulled the trigger and fired one
>primer pops and seats bullet in barrel of gun
>nobody knows, or whoever did it knows and doesn't tell anyone
>time comes to shoot action scene where revolver is fired
>load gun with blanks
>actor points gun loaded with blanks at Brandon Lee for action scene and fires blank
>Brandon Lee is killed with real bullet, yet revolver was loaded with proper blanks

Also if you have nothing, order an AK cleaning rod is perfect for it.
I've tried those piece together metal cleaning rods from Walmart and they just bent and broke.
Ian Brooks
What about a wood dowel just narrow enough to fit in the bore? It is soft and the small clearnace with the bore isn't going to let it bend or flex.
Evan James
This cant be real. Is it?
Eli Price
I want to murder whoever took this picture. Couldn’t just hold the camera an inch further away so we could see the whole barrel.

this is just wrong
if it squibs its cause the powder didnt go off or was underloaded
fouling doesn't matter
Tyler Rodriguez
It was a factory test and it's cropped
Bentley Sanchez
lmao noguns armchair expert
99% of squibs are due to underloaded rounds
fouling is completely irrelevant
lmao bullet out of spec causing squibs
Jaxon Brooks
I like how you can see the barrel opening up as he tried to shoot the squib out.
