Lucky he didn't take his eye out! I shot a golf ball with a .22 air rifle in my youth at about 30 yards - the pellet rebounded hard straight back, just missing my left ear! It's a lesson you don't forget...

Back in the pistol days I used to shoot with a bloke who reloaded .45 ACP in his garden shed. He got into the daft habit of function-testing his loads in a 1911A1 by firing one into the heavy wooden beam that supported the shed roof. One day one of his 230 grain bullets found a hard knot in the wood at over 800 fps.

 

The bullet bounced back and did pretty much what the ball bearing does in that YouTube video: it split the skin on his forehead, but luckily it didn't penetrate.

 

My buddy went straight into shock. His first thought - typical pikey reloader - was: "Where's the case?" After he'd scrabbled about in a deepening pool of blood long enough to find the missing case, he allowed his wife to wrap a towel around his head and drive him to their local hospital.

 

He wasn't impressed by the NHS response. He walked up to A & E reception dripping with claret, his head swathed in a gory turban.

 

The reception nurse apparently asked him, "What seems to be the problem?"

Well spotted,Hunter-do you think he'll do a belt fed version......or would that be too zombie to be humane?

Not even if he asks! I hope you don't want to shoot him-the H&K point was about the vast difference an 'e' on the end can make,me being on the humane side,and you more into fire power when the target was human.(as a joke,of course).

 

 

I've made it very clear that minor spelling errors really mean very little,and are made by some of the very best students,these days.It would be a full time monitoring job to correct every error,so I hope you will forgive my one lapse,as advice seemed to be requested-it really is 'no big deal'. Being nasty is tedious.without good cause.Mis-spelling 'nasty' is worse; so why don't we just draw a line under this 'humour',before I recommend you read Ogden Nash "It must be the milk" for some unsavoury spins on this- "Their spelling is awful,and their grammar is flawful",just to give a taster.It didn't matter for many students selected by me,who got top degrees in a top university.They could think quite straight,which was relevant. Up with that fact you shall have to put. End of.
