I tried this one time to get rid of a primered case and to see what it was like. Just like DanThe Eldest said, except I put the muzzle into some rags. You guessed it, the embers set the rags smoldering.

Tried it last night.. didn't like it. I'll just dry fire with snap caps. Thanks for the info everyone.

i do this all the time, i make wax bullets with paraffin wax. It doesnt cycle the xd, but i can hit a coke can 20 yards in my backyard.

oh and it hurts like hell, about as bad as a paintball

if you do the wax bullets, just make sure to give your barrel a good cleaning afterwords

My aunt was a stagehand for CBS on the set of Cover-Up when that happened. There was a lot of carelessness with prop guns back in the 70's & 80's. This incident was one that set-up a lot of changes on how and who can handle prop guns.

Yup. I tried this in a .45 ACP revolver and had to use a rubber mallet to get the cylinder out.
