Wire wheeling the primer made me flinch

They will feed just fine. The bigger question is if they will actually fire, if it’s rusty, moisture has gotten to them, which means the powder or primers might be bad.
Also yet another Middle East video of someone just shooting the dirt at their feet…

well as we saw, most of them did fire
Activision19@reddit
Yes but the wire wheel ‘restoration’ in the video did nothing to make the round fire more reliably, it was more a matter of luck the lacquer protection on those steel cases held up and didn’t allow moisture inside the case. All the wire wheel did was remove the rust externally.

Confirmation that middle easterners are the generic bad guys you see in cartoons and simplistic action movies, who always manage to perfectly hit the dirt, walls, whatever, right next to the heroes, but never actually the heroes? Apparently, they constantly practice this skill.
(And just to clarify, I don’t actually think they’re all bad guys. It’s a joke…)

The ground in Iraq is 80% bullets at this point.

They call gunsmiths and reloaders “landscapers” and “farmers”

You joke but there are populated areas that have been hit with so much depleted uranium that its unsafe to live there.
