Oh boy, I forgot those little 22 Automags. A customer brought one in to the shop, complaining that it jammed.
It became my job to troubleshoot it, which entailed firing it in our little makeshift range - in the cellar. Hoo boy.
He was right, it simply would not feed his CCI Maxi-Mags, and required Winchester ammo, with which it functioned perfectly. I know because the boss had me fire a full box of Winnies through it to be sure. If I close my eyes, I can still see that fireball - and even with muffs, my head rang all day.
Double dittoes on the CAR-15. That's what we carried in our cockpits, and they were brutal to fire.
