Mario, is the 4mm barrel insert rifled or smoothbore??? Primer-only ignition can't be all that powerful, even for a .157" projectile...

A barrel insert installed from the muzzle leaves the chamber end unsupported...The Luger chamber is ~.386" dia and the bore is ~.346" dia...So the barrel insert is unsupported at the chamber end by ~.040" total...(.020" radially)...So you can't have too much chamber pressure or it would expand the insert, making it 'difficult' to remove...
