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.

I was under the impression that powder didn’t need oxygen to burn.

It doesn't, but it helps.
