• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

BANG!

50,000 c.u.p., will do that to you, if things go wrong... :shocked:
It looked as if the chamber blew out of it. The prior shot must have left an obstruction in the chamber...


EDIT: After watching it again; there was no report of recoil from the previous shot... She had a Squib load, jam the barrel.

Ummm, not for long. They'll be calling her lucky from now on. Somebody needs to tell her to get her weight forward when she shoots too.
 
:yikes: When he started that boneheaded maneuver; my blood ran cold... :shocked:
After he cleans out his drawers; he should go buy a Lottery ticket; he's already cheated Death; it's time to cash in! :thumbup:
 
Oouch..!!

poorly maintained weapons can bite you...glad she is alright from what we can see....:yikes:
 
That was a squib load; perhaps they were handloads that weren't properly assembled. :dontknow:
The rifle; appeared fine... until it wasn't! :shocked:
 
:agree: . . . I'll bet it was a squib. She looked to have had a misfire. She cycled the bolt and ejected the round that didn't fire, but didn't examine the cartridge to see if the bullet was in it, or not, nor did she check the barrel for an obstruction . . . and that is pretty much what happens in a rifle when you fire a round when there is a squib in the barrel . . .
 
If you watch that video again; when she cycles the action; stop it, and back it up to that LAST round...
You'll see her reacting to the anticipated recoil, but there is no sound of a shot, and no recoil...
Squib! :yikes:
At least she didn't do, what the nit-wit with the shotgun did!

It isn't always hand loads. My son and I were at the range, last year, shooting commercial ammo. He was shooting his S&W Model 1917, a .45 ACP revolver. The hammer came down on a round and there was a "pop" from the primer, but no recoil . . . sure enough, the bullet from that round was in the barrel, just past the forcing cone. It happens.
 
True... I just never shoot anything that's factory-loaded anymore. :D
I've got too many "oddballs", and accurate loads for the standard stuff...
(Reloading for forty years. :thumbup:)

It looked like she was checking the chamber before that last blow. She should have waited until she was sure it was clear.
 
Had "squibs" in Viet Nam with the new M16A1 along with faulty magazines. That was hell in a firefight.

Was in the BX today. Naturally have to check out the gun counter. Immediately started shaking and drooling. They have an M1 Scout rifle in stock. I wasn't allowed to hold it even though the salesman said I could.
 
Tell me about it.
