Oops! Man, this would probably make me $#!+ my pants!

Thanks, now I'm having second thoughts on shooting my AR this afternoon. Think I'll just break out the mini 14 instead.

I think maybe the lesson to learn here is... if it clicks and doesn't fire, don't just keep jamming on the magazine and racking the slide until it decides to make a bang. Perhaps a click means "Stop what you're doing and take a bit more of a detailed look at what's going on with your firearm"!

This guy had a short round that stuck in the barrel. That is why you need to know what a shot should sound like vs a short round. He is very lucky. As a medic I have seen the aftermath of a short round.

Exactly, he's one lucky young man.

Seen that one before...kinda scary

Also, dont let "Brian" load your ammo...

Looked like it blew the mag out.

I had a situation like that happen, one thing was different "I checked the BORE" Just something you might want to try. I'm just saying

I've never had an accident but I do try and remember to check the bore before I load and start shooting. You never know what may have crawled in their since you last cleaned it.
