Bad Day At The Range

These guys had really BAD days at the range

Evidently, they Never took a reloading class from OldmanFCSA. I'm sure everyone involved, had a really bad day :hide:

Thankfully I've never had this displeasure happen yet. All, at the least, caused new underwear to be needed.

quite generous of whomever posted those pictures originally to clean all the blood and chunks of flesh off before snapping the pictures. #2 reason I will likely never explore reloading.

Some COMPLETE IDJIT mounted a laser on a Hi Point with electrical tape so he could be tacticool?? This potential Darwin Award winner probably has to buy snoose that has directions for use on the package! Clearly not a high enough IQ to reed the manual, much less handload!!

2nd place is the guy who blew up a Magnum Research BFR. DAYUM!! That took a lot of powder to do that, and even then behind the barrel it looks to have held together.

Sam, I thought the same thing about this one. It must have been one hell of an explosion. If that guy didn't crap his shorts, he surely got the attention of those around him :bolt:

If you're using the right powders it can't even be possible to get enough in there for that.

My BFR .45-70 had spontaneous disassembly issues...

Front sight fell off, ejector guide fell off, ejector itself broke, rear sight broke....

Using factory ammo.

They refused to honor warranty as it turns out, it was a demo gun. The dealer fixed it on his own dime. Since then, magnum research is lower on the quality scale than high point AFAIC

A lot of those rifles look like they had a barrel obstruction.

That's what it looked like to me too. The actions looked fine (except for maybe the lever gun), but the barrels split.

I'm still wondering how much force it took to blow the artillery piece into two pieces? If there were people standing near it (gun crew) I bet it got their FULL attention :shock:

Truly it is not THAT difficult to get the proper supplies and follow a recipe from a book.

Sometimes I make a wicked green or red curry that is too hot, but as long as I don't plan to leave the house for a few hours the results are not so devastating.

I'm reminded of the one and only time so far I've gotten a squib round, and how incredibly glad I am I noticed in time before pulling the trigger again.

I've seen any number of pictures like this, where the obstruction was noted to be a bore sighter. A squib is one thing, but an obstruction that you put in yourself!!!!
