Don't use your truck door to steady your T97

[Ms359]

So I had my door open and window down using the door to steady my new t97, after about 5 mags I realized that all the brass was bouncing off my windshield making nice big spiderwebs everywhere. Oops lesson learned when trying out a new gun check where the emptys are going to end up.

My T97 chucks brass like an angry trunk monkey!

That being said, it is one fun gun!

Not as bad as a guy I know who destroyed his windshield by shooting his .50 BMG from the hood of his truck (lots of pressure from those things) but ended up with a broken window nontheless.

Not to mention that it could be construed as shooting from a vehicle.(?)

Had a buddy check his gun from inside his vehicle.. he had a moon roof very quickly.. true story..

That's what I was thinking as well...loaded firearm in a motor vehicle.

Definitely not allowed in ontario. I know of two charged for shooting across their hood and one for shooting from the tailgate. COs rolled up on all three of them while they were target shooting (2 different instances).

So are you concerned for the safety of this guy, or are you just fishing for someone to point at and say, "teacher, teacher, Johnny is breaking the rules!"
Not trying to start an argument, but why not p.m. him?

Yeah, we need pics! ;p;

Fired my 1st muzzeloader from the top of my Mazda 323 without taking into account that the muzzle didn't clear the roof. Learned not to do that again. It did actually buff out though, almost.

ah i know a chap who fired his 458 win mag, using the top of his chevette as a rest ! worked out ok... cept for the massive powder blast pattern burned into the paint

Neither. I inferred that the only physical danger was presented to his truck and merely thinking out loud that he may have been lucky in more ways than one.

Learned a lesson like that with an M14 once... .22's are worse but only because that damn brass gets stuck in the defroster vents.

 

[Leviathan024]

I want pics!

Haha. I have a permanent "jingle" from .22 brass all down the dash vent holes. It is a
loud jingle and Yellowknife roads are rough

CGN Nannies and liberal legal whiner trolls trying to stick it in the back of a fellow members and shooters on a public forum. This crap is getting out of hand here on the forum.

As long as both feet are on Terra Firma it's not a problem as the OP's was. Now taking a shot at game while touching a vehicle that is another issue all together.

If your sitting inside and shooting out a window or out a sun roof etc then this is a big problem.

When my wife's father was alive he leaned over the box of his brand new Chevy to sight in his hunting rifle the day before deer season. The scoped rifle had been bouncing around behind truck seats since the end of last years deer hunt and was a little....out. The first shot ripped a 1 ft tear in the opposite side of the box. I'm told as he hammered the sheet metal back into place with his rifle butt he said: 'Janice'll never notice!'
A little hard on equipment that one...
