Jim, until you post a link or a video or some pictures, or SOMETHING to support your claim, I cannot believe it.
Are you saying you filled a .45 barrel up with 7 cast bullets, chambered a ball round, and all you got was eight bullets in the sandbox and an undamaged pistol? I blew the unsupported area of of the case in my 1911 by firing it with just one bullet stuck in the barrel, right ahead if the chamber. Ruined a mag, both grips, and had to dig some wood out of my hand.
If the bullet moves it generates kinetic energy which is transformed into heat energy, which weakens the barrel at that point, resulting in a burst barrel? I also find that impossible to believe. If a moving object with tremendous kinetic energy built up suddenly stops, that energy is transformed into heat?
OK. If I take a sledge hammer swung by a seven foot Swede and hit , say, an anvil....why don't I feel any heat at the point of impact? Try it yourself. There is no heat. Not even a little bit.
Even if your statement was correct, the heat generated by all of this could not be conducted through the various mediums involved fast enough to cause the condition you describe.
Try this, to illustrate my point. Take any high powered rifle. The heat in that bore generated by firing will be well over 1000 degrees. Place your hand on the barrel ahead of the chamber, Fire it. Notice how it takes a few seconds before you feel the heat?
I don't have any fancy degree in thermodynamics or the four stages of Ballistics, but I read a lot and I study..... It is my hobby and passion.)
Awaiting those links or pics or videos, Jim. Until then, live long and prosper and all that other Vulcan crap....and good shooting
