Troy and Frenchy have had plenty of close calls.

Blowing up rifles is a part of that adventure.

Listen to the Swamp People’s blown up rifle stories that will make you sweat.

Barrel obstructions are no joke. Plug a gun barrel with mud, ice or another projectile and the next shot just may be your last ever.

History Channel’s Swamp People stars Troy and Frenchy live quite an adventure everyday trapping gators in the swamp. A rifle is a necessary item that gets used a lot. If mud gets in the barrel or a squib projectile sticks around in there, well there is going to be a bad day.

Sit back and listen what not to do with firearms and barrel obstructions. Keep your guns clean and only shoot quality ammunition. The rifle and life you save just may be your own.
