I know it has been a while since the Swedish Training Ammo was all over the market.
Ive tried before to get one of the smoothbore Uzi conversion barrels in the past, to no avail, so Im looking at having one or so made.
If anyone knows about this ammo, Id appreciate some help.
The blue nose of the ammo houses a steel BB. Ive read that this is 5.3mm in diameter.
First question would be: Is this correct and accurate.
Next question is this:
How does this ammo actually work?
It is not a sabot type ammunition thru the subkal barrels.
The BB gets pushed thru the barrel.
What happens to the blue plastic that houses the BB?
Does it disintegrate during the powder ignition?
Does it all get ejected along with the spent brass?
Does it combust?
My guess is that it disintegrates and gets blown out the ejection port of the open bolt.
How much of this stuff can go down the barrel?
I have had one of my barrels bored out and there was a bunch of this blue crap down the barrel.
Is that what caused the failure?
Or was it the pinging of the barrel and a squib like occurance?
Just trying to wrap my head around this.
BTW, if anyone has one of the barrels for sale, let me know. Especially one of the smoothbore ones.
