The op rod sheared off just below the "head" (for lack of a better term), which contacts the gas piston in POF's design. Upon examination, it appears that the rod met this head at very nearly a 90 degree angle, making it easier for the shearing effect to take place. Frank at POF also mentioned something about variability in their early heat treating batches. The replacements he sent (at no cost to me) appear to be radiused in that area, which I'm hoping will make them stronger.

Thanks for the tip! I don't mean to say that I shoot cross-eyed, but rather that I am left eye dominant and right handed. I will work on your technique during my dry fire practice.

It's one of the ten or so standard drills that Paul Howe teaches. He does not like the combination of the 5.56 round and drugged-up bad guys, and this is his approximation of "shooting them to the ground".
