Highly unlikely in modern conflicts, one would think, when there are no longer lines of thousands of men firing at close range against thousand of men returning fire. However, still seems so improbable as to be nearly impossible. Yet it happened often enough for evidence of it to be found.
Was at Petersburg several yrs ago and saw some on exhibit. Awesome thought that two men were shooting at each other and both lived because they were good shots.
robert garner Had it's oddities also.
The Brits came up with a sniper rifle with a second stock and periscope sight system so Tommy could aquire a target and not take a thump to the grape.
Apparently Hans and Tommy picked each other out and fired almost simultaneously, the 8mm met the 303 still in its barrel !Tommy remarked "it gave a great shiver and came apart in my hands"
The rifle was in the Pattern Room,before the powers that be in the UK, shut it down.
