XdamagedX 248 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 While reading the thread about the new Kel-Tec shotgun, I seen presto_z's post about working in the firearm selling industry and could provide pictures of multiple CF-ed guns. I'm curious as to what everyone can come up with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of the millions of these weapons on the market, you will usually hear about the few that blow up, not the other few million that function perfectly. Also if you read the attached stories, ammo is usually the culprit, not the firearm . If you double charge a max +P load, you will blow up every pistol that is on the consumer market. Be careful when reloading and double check your cases before firing them. Edited January 6, 2011 by BuffetDestroyer 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigsal 757 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 The issue is the frequency of the failures or of the problems. So for example, the Kalashnikov rifle may have had a few bad lemons, but for the most part provides a stable, safe system. Items made by Kel Tec on the other hand (which fail much more regularly than most other pistols/rifles) are considered unsafe at any speed.... So, finding a random AK blowing up (even if it was one built in someones basement by a cave dweller) doesn't mean anything. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, finding a random AK blowing up (even if it was one built in someones basement by a cave dweller) doesn't mean anything. OMG! Bigsal forgot to name-call and demean anyone who has ever owned or is considering owning a Kel Tec! I am sure that if I search on this forum, I will not come across a single post about a person experiencing misfires, broken firing pins, FTF, FTE, or any other type problem with a Saiga or AK platform weapon. Yet, amazingly all of my Saiga's (4 of them) seem to work great and if I do experience a problem, I can probably look at the experiences of others here and get feedback on how to fix it rather than declaring that "Anyone who buys this is should be questioned for sanity." or "Buying one of Saiga's "products" is putting your life and the lives of those around you at risk. Plane and simple." Reading/viewing any of those posts/videos I posted above (that I found using the third grader's Internet- thanks for telling me about it Bigsal), I could say that all Glocks go Kaboom! All 1911's are M-80's in your hand! All AR's suck and will blow apart! Don't buy a Beretta unless you want an exploding gun! XD's are accidents waiting to happen! I don't actually believe any of those statements based on my personal experience with each of those weapons platforms. Yet still, this too is turning into a crap on Kel Tec thread because somebody that is prejudiced based on things he read or heard in his circle of like-minded people tries to convince others to believethe same as him. It kinda sounds like exactly what Right-Wing Bible Thumpers do with their beliefs and the reason why the left hates them so much. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to remember someone posting a busted barrell Ruger revolver in another post that had the barrel torqued wrong or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chevyman097 2,579 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) I cant help but wonder how many of those are due to over charged hand loads.......anyone wanna wager? People tend to get really brave when they think they have a "quality" firearm even though they shouldnt. Edited January 8, 2011 by Chevyman097 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XdamagedX 248 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'm surprised at that walther .22. even if the barrel was completely plugged, It's incredible that a 22lr has enough zip to do something like that. And the springfield 1911 is odd... maybe a bad forging? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People tend to get really brave when they think they have a "quality" firearm even though they shouldnt. Oh, no doubt. I'd bet ammo was the cause of the majority of these CF's. I'm surprised at that walther .22. even if the barrel was completely plugged, It's incredible that a 22lr has enough zip to do something like that. And the springfield 1911 is odd... maybe a bad forging? Same here. I scratched my head at a .22 round doing that kinda damage. But I'm ballistically retarded, so who knows. I think you're right on the 1911. I'll admit, I didn't read all the stories behind each picture I posted. But IIRC, a manufacturing defect was the cause of the 1911's nose falling off.

People tend to get really brave when they think they have a "quality" firearm even though they shouldnt. All of those are due to shitty ammo except the possible "out of battery" detonations with the automatic rifles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
