Video catches flames and ejections paths of a 10/22

Take it to 50 seconds, slow the play to .75, and watch the flames. Note the wildly random paths of the ejected brass. Might be a clue to why these actions occasionally stovepipe. I'm surprised by this from a custom build.

Looking for opinions on what's going on.

It's a blowback 22. More common than you think.

Yep. I've had more than a little bit of burning powder hit my arm with my 10/22. Still love the gun.

Occasional jams are just part of owning a 22. Mine is pretty decent about not jamming. But it does happen. And i get a bunch of bad ammo.

Shows the variation of the ammo more than anything. The guns spring rate is not changing, but the ammo "power" varies significantly shot to shot as illustrated by the random ejection pattern.
