No worries, the shooter wasn't hurt and the machine gun was easily repaired. It had a few belts through it before the KB.

A friend had essentially the same thing with a BAR when he had a hangfire and opened the bolt too soon. That gun also was repaired.

Right at the end of the belt too, was almost int he clear. Gotta suck.
