Safety FIRST?M1 GARAND DESTROYED

eclancy · 04-23-2007, 10:28 AM

Gentlemen,
This file speaks on its own. This Video is short to save space. This was taken at SA on one of my trips. What Happened is that someone was trying to fire a dummy grenade WITHOUT the SPECIAL BLANK. It was fired using a STANDARD M2 Ball ROUND. Sometimes you must hit the replay.
Drop me a line on WHAT you think about this VID?

Keep it SAFE OUT THERE!!
Could use some help Check out my sites. TIA
Thanks again

Sure messed up a nice gun and his britches I bet.

Well, maybe, just maybe we'll now get away from people citing the mythical "grenade-firing blanks." They are not blanks, folks! They are not ball ammo!

BTW, Clancy, that video seems to have been taken of a static display; any idea what the display placrd says? Might also be interesting to know what happened to the Junior Rambo who shot this one off.

Note to self....

Yeah, usually a 30-06 round that gets stopped on something will do that.... sucks for whoever owned that gun.

That barrel reminds me of a commode I saw at a rest area a while back.
One of those stainless ones.
