Safety FIRST/M1 GARAND DESTROYED

[Clancy]

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

Poor M1 Garand I hope the guy who did that got a talking to!

Cool Did the barrel fail in such a way as to protect the shooter?

 

[freddo]

What do I think?

A Garand is a terrible thing to waste!

Course, I hear that Clintoon ordered the chopping up of many a Garand and M1 Carbine in his day, but I digress...

Wow. That's pretty crazy. I needed to watch twice.
Looks like the shooter was fine though. Where was darwin on that?

The only grenade you can get away with using a ball round would be the Belgian MECAR grenade.

God must love idiots, because he made so many of them!

Don't know about the Garand's and Carbines but I do know he had the M-14's sent out to "Captian Crunch" and because of that the Military is trying to redeploy them into the Gulf and is having a hard time finding as many as it would like to get fast enough.

"...using a STANDARD M2 Ball ROUND..." Well, that'd do it. Regular blanks work as well. You don't get the same range as you do with a grenade blank, but it doesn't destroy the rifle either.
