Most guns won't blow from a barrel obstruction. Extreme pressure causes blowups. This guy is funny but "barrels are brittle"? BS!

Well obviously they are really hard cus they is machined! :mrgreen: ive had 6 HiPoints, they have all been reliable and trust worthy.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

When I watched that video I thought they must be better made than he is letting on for them to hold up to the abuse so well. :D
