The can, as you can see, ruptured in the barrel. now whenever I dry fire, The smell of 2 year past the expiration date beer washes over me. :lol:

the next couple shots, the ammo came out wet with beer. next time, I wont shake it up before loading it in. I'll let the gun do that! :D

What diameter barrel did you use to get the bottle to fit well (If it did at all)? Cool stuff. Thanks!
