It happens all the time. There is even a warning sheet describing the risks when you buy a pair of dumbbells (or a single one, if you happen to be missing a arm.)
I call “bull”, too. My dad told me about a neighbor kid who smashed a live .22 shell with a big rock. The bullet didn’t go anywhere but they were picking bits of brass shell casing out of his hide. If a cartridge isn’t chambered when it ignites the case will rupture so that the force of the combustion isn’t directed directly against the bullet.
When I was a kid, the kids that lived behind my Grandmas home had a paved courtyard with a tree in the center.
We’d place 22’s on the courtyard, climb the tree and drop bricks on them.
No one was injured.
They’d POP. Thats all.
Adams said the case was closed as a suspicious circumstance investigation.
Was the Case mashed?
I once dropped a dumbbell on my toe, but nothing exploded!
Reads as though PFC Al Gore was adjusting his sling again.
His “Glock 18”? Really?
I doubt it was an 18, as they are machine pistols. However, the result would probably be the same-w/o constant pressure on the trigger, likley only one shot would be fired...
On the other hand, it wold be nice to see pictures of the result of a 17 round mag bewing discharged and the car all at once.
Surprised none of the other 55 posters asked about the “G18”, though.
I hate journalists for the most part....
