Hey all!
Just saw this on Liveleak and thought it may help to prevent harm to anyone that may have this type of ammo.
Evidently, this polymer cased 7.62 ammo will likely fail, catastrophically in fluted chambers (FAL, HKG3, etc).
The video shows the results of the failure experienced during the test.
They only fired 2 rounds and both experienced case failures.
1 blew the follower into the floor plate......and the floor plate through the bottom of the magazine, through a range bag and into the wooden table!
Here's the link, for anyone interested:

Be safe,
