what is the most "extreme" occurence you have ever encountered at the shooting range or other?
For example: I saw a semi-auto pistol shooter encounter a misfire, and turn the gun around and peer down the barrel! Really. I had to turn away from watching.
Saw another shooter firing a snubby while standing behind his female friend's head; she was sitting a few feet in front, at the firing bench. She was wearing hearing protectors, but no military helmet. I guess he really didn't like her that much after all.
Then there was a man who resembled the exhibition wrestler "Stone Cold Austin" firing a short barreled 44 mgn with hot reloads. Every time it would buck back and the cylinder release would gouge his hand to the point where he was bleeding. All the time he kept yelling Yeah! Yeah!
Many times I witnessed shooters leaving a round in the chamber of probably what was a hot gun when cease fire had been called. Ever hear of a "cook off"?
And finally, poor GI Joe got a golden wound in his but while off loading a hovering helicopter, when the door gunner let his gun flop down on it's post just as the man was beneath. Watch where your muzzle points.
