XM193 has known issues. I don't understand why people are so admant about defending it when it has a so-so track record.
Just wanting to see some kind of evidence of these known issues. Do you have any?
Threads like that are not any kind of "proof". These threads are all the same, including the ones you post. They all make the claim of "credible sources" knowing of issues with the ammo but none of them ever actually show these "credible sources" or any of the documentation on why this is true.
Stuff in these threads like "many members have pressure tested XM193". Horse crap. Do you have any idea the cost of equipment needed to pressure test ammo?
Then the "many instructors tell me they see kabooms all the time". OK, names, dates, places, and maybe pictures, ammo lot numbers. Should be pretty easy to come up with since it happens all the time. Let's see it.
Some kind of real evidence should exist, especially if the stuff is as bad as many claim. All I'm asking is to see it.
What happens quite often is what you posted, some guy buys some generic "m193" junk online, it blows his gun up, and all of a sudden he's posting online that "XM193 kaboomed my gun", which turns out to be untrue.
And then there's the 200 postings about "X means rejected", "X means experimental", "X means whatever". Again with no proof. Think about what this is saying. If all XM193 ammo is factory rejected ammo then ATK must have the worst factory on the planet to crank out millions of failed rounds to sell on the civilian market. Drunk monkeys with a Dillon press could do better numbers than that.
Saw one thread that swore up and down that XM193PD meant higher chamber pressures. PD means bulk packed according to ATK. Maybe they are just lying to trick us?..... again, people making it up as they go.
You will forgive me if I require a bit more evidence than postings on an Internet forum.
The most likely reality is that since XM193 is the most popular ammo, it will see more failures than any other brand. That's just simple math.
You read about more Glock kabooms than Rohrbaugh kabooms for the very same reason.
