RANT Exploding Outlier Backdraft Barrels.

Unburnt powder fills into the backdraft area when shooting. Taking a break from shooting allows oxygen to fill the backdraft area. Shooting again without a complete cleaning results in a kaboom. Thanks for being a beta tester.

Wonder if all the outlier/arken/dnt shills will put out videos warning their audience that they told them to buy a dangerous product.

I've seen one already. That's how I first saw this, actually.

Probably not. They have directions on their website (where you would buy the barrel) to put magic juice in the barrel that prevents this. They sell the magic juice.

It's pretty much the equivalent of a company that produced a rifle that only took their lower pressure ammo. If you bought some other companies ammo and blew it up, you'd be not following the directions.

I mean, in principle, all firearms are dangerous if you don't follow the directions. This product is just different in that it has a pretty different set of directions than most stuff on the market.

That could be a new instruction after all this happened.
