Well in WW II the prisoners in Nazi factories making 9mm amunition used to hold back about 3/4 of the powder from one cartridge and dump it into the next one along with its normal charge. The weak one would jam in the barrel and the next would blow apart the breech - in your face. Sure hope we don't need to use those missiles.
