I had a squib while shooting a steel match about four years ago. I was shooting factory ammo - American Eagle 9mm 147 grain FMJ that was purchased about two years prior. Apparently, this round never received a powder charge during its manufacture. It took a fair amount of force to knock the bullet out of the barrel with a short, fat brass rod (nearly 9mm in diameter).
Here is a video (not my squib) that shows what my squib looked like from my perspective. Note the smoke coming out of the breach area as well as the mild report.
Excellent. Thanks for posting.
I love the term "spontaneous disassembly"
