    Shooting a squib out of a barrel

    Say you got a squib that you for some reason or another can't hammer out. Would it be safe to put in a blank cartage and shoot it out like that? I imagine under certain circumstances it would create a pressure spike. Maybe a really low load?

    I don't have a squib BTW, just thinking out loud.

    I don't think anyone would recommend that. But that doesn't mean you can't try!

                      I've been well Squibbed and never had I Squib that I couln't knock out with a rod and hammer.

                      Of course I do know how to use a hammer.

                        Not a good idea. You have too much free time on your hands. You could come over to my house and do some of(all) my needed yard work or level the RV parking area I need to do.

                              What is the proper way to get the squib round out? I've always used a rod and hammer.
