Big oof on /r/NFA - Taking a rifle can to a 2 gun match

[some_kid6]

Dude had to toss his gun into a blue trashcan/barrel as part of the course and didn't think about the hot can + plastic. Now it's got a non standard wipe modification and the ATF is after his dog /s.

Peel out the hole and get to it. Cool story and scars are cool.

 

[Tim]

Been there, done that

 

[NCLivingBrit]

Having come withing a mm or two of grabbing a can after full auto fire I feel his pain.

 

[Stogies]

So it melted the trash can?

It'll self "peel"

 

[slow is slow]

Just getting ready to be used by a navy seal on a wet entry, wouldn't want water in there.

 

[JRHorne]

Should help cut down on the first round pop next time out.

 

[NKD]

Should have slung it instead.

And melted his balls.

I once shot a match with a suppressed .22 Walther PPQ. Unfortunately my holster of choice that day was an IWB. After my first reholster, the rest of the match was shot unsuppressed....

My buddy told me one day in the army after they did range day (he was armor or cav?) one of their newer dudes picked up a .50 by the barrel and a lot of pain ensued. Said it took 4 months for the guy to regain full control of his hands

I had done a couple of mags through a suppressed MP5 and set it down to pick another gun to shoot and realized it wasn't well situated. I reached out to move it by grabbing the suppressor and the radiant heat waves stopped me a couple of mm short of a nasty burn.

Just shoot the barrel clear?

Just shoot the barrel clear?

Yep. Just like a wipe. First round makes the hole. No reason at all to peel out the hole on this one.

Never had any experience with wipes, although we had a little Diamondback DB9 with a threaded barrel and a tiny fat suppressor that used wipes. I really wanted it.

In most cases, the wipe is solid until you fire the first round. Some may have slits (like a + cut into the center). Very few at all will have an actual hole.

Some of my cans are stained all over from me melting stuff

Are wipes ever used in anything not pistol caliber?

Some rimfire cans. The pressure of a centerfire rifle round would probably destroy it and possibly have pieces end up in the bore path.

Heres another one.

I think that might be a bigger oof than the OP. Do you have the backstory?

 

[Prudii]

"Non secure locking ring. Resulting in canted can. The strike appears 2” into suppressor"

 

[Mr.Gadget]

Don't know about the trash cans but I can tell you what a bed liner will do to a can or flash hider! What a mess!
