When I had my M11/9 (both stock and with AMP11 upper), it ate every single thing I fed it with the exception of some bad Monarch ammo (primer hits, but no bang). Steel, brass, aluminum...round, flat, jhp. No problemo.

I've run steel .45 ammo through my Reising. It's never given a problem.

My 45 cal MAC10 eats anything. Including the aluminum cased stuff.

H416, G36, Glock 18, All the AKs (of course), no issues at all with Wolf.

MP5s do no like steel cased ammo. Can't expand to seal chamber.

F2000 does not like wolf either. But that just might be because it's soo weak.

I have run thousands of rounds thru various FA AR15/16's. Never a problem. Shortly I will let you know how they work in a M249.
