Endomag blew up

[TacticalSpeed]

I have been using Endomags for a bit now (Purchased a 3 pack), in more than 1 firearm, until yesterday...

First, one of the Endomags would not function right so I stopped using that one. Then another was so defective that it blew up the PMAG it was in. Please see the link of photos below for what happened at the range yesterday.

I am lucky the lower receive did its job and kept the chaos in the mag well. I could have been severely injured...or worse...

More than one person, range officers and armorers, at the range confirmed the Endomag was to blame.

For people who aren't aware of what an Endomag is, it is an insert that allows 9mm ammo to fire out of a PMAG. It is like a restrictive sleeve placed inside the PMAG.

Since the Endomag insert has nothing to do with how the weapon fires, how did more than one person explain the Endomag causes a round to fire out of battery?

No sure how it has nothing to do with firing when that's where the bolt picks the round up from...

This was on a straight blowback gun?

I don't understand how a mag could blow up a gun either. Did it prevent the bolt from fully going into battery?

What? the rifle is fine

What? the rifle is fine. The Endomag insert was the cause of the pproblem

How did it cause the problem is what people are asking.

Did the gun fire out of battery?

Or did the mag just spontaneously blow up.

I used to run endo mags in a RDB and I fail to see how they would cause this

If it did fire out of battery, that is somewhat of a risk on any blowback gun. And if it did do that, it's probably going to blow your mag apart.
