Shaun, no it is not designed to propel a projectile out the end of the barrel but from time to time it happens.
The issue is; what happens when you close in on a barrel and your good friend who is assisting you is on the ground and a projectile from the barrel hits him or her in shoulder from 40ft up. Where are the issues when closing a line switch as far as personal safety besides stay clear of the primary?
Where should you be when closing a barrel?
