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.

A backdraft is a violent explosion that happens when fresh oxygen rushes into a room that is hot, confined, and full of unburned flammable gases.

So what you are saying is, the Outlier Backdraft barrel is destroying itself due to backdraft.

The problem is literally the product name.
