Gene Kelleys home was hit with the artillery shell after it was fired at the Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot and Trade Show. No one was hurt in the incident, but the cannons owner has agreed to pay for Kelleys damages.
Homeowner Gene Kelley heard a huge crash and was shocked to find a 14-and-a-half-inch-long 105 howitzer artillery shell lying on his bedroom floor.

Yeah, if you have a howitzer ...
I have a howitzer, but it’s not fully automatic so it’s legal. But that 15 round magazine limit is annoying.

very good security and fire control.Not sure about their security but their 'fire control' needs some work in the 'control' department.

Gene Kelley was able to dance out of the way in the rain of fire. He could also sing in the rain.

Think you might have used a little bit too much dynamite there, Butch?

“YIKES!!! Good thing it was a dummy round!
Like the scene from “Stripes” Where John Laroquette (the idiot commanding officer) demands that a recruit “fire the mortar, soldier” when it hadn’t been set up. Warren Oates (the DI who has just scaled a rope climbing platform) hollers out “incoming!” True to the script the mortar round hit the platform.

Obviously an “act of war”, that’s not covered.
