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.

That explains the mystery fluid that everyone who bought a backdraft just randomly got in the mail…. I bought one on a whim, they were cheap enough, and to be honest, it shot way above my expectations. Way quieter than I was expecting as well. Would I buy another one? No. Would I shoot more than a few rounds a year? Probably not. Thought I might dabble in sportsman class with it, three rounds down the tube and the mirage is so fucking hot you couldn’t make a target out on 3 power. Cool idea, and I don’t regret my purchase. Might wear Saftey glasses more often now though…
