Some guy in the area (I don't know him, but some others do) broke a firing pin in his 300 win. I don't know what kind of gun it was, but he got a nail and fashioned a crude firing pin to use as a replacement. Problem occurred when he made it too long and closed the bolt fast and hard on a live round. Apparently, it shoved the bolt back through his hand. So don't be stupid and try to do that. Poor guy learned the hard way.
Just a disclaimer, the only parts I know for sure are true is that he tried to make a firing pin because the original broke and he made it too long. Also that he was hurt pretty bad after the round went off. I don't know what "going though his hand" involves. I say this because I don't know how many people it went through before it got said to me. I do know that several people told me the same general thing.
