Should you leave the LASER boresighter in while shooting? - Page 5 - XDTalk Forums

The ends of barrel pieces are all mangled, like they were in a pair of vice grips. Not sure about this one.

These things happen when you get a squib round. That's essentially what happened with that boresighter. It was just like a squib. With the pressures that these rounds produce I don't see why you guys think these PIX are fake. Even mythbusters bubbled the barrel of the rifle they shot. Peeling it simply requires a little more pressure.

Is that fake too?

Or this:
