These click-bait things are usually disappointing but this one is not so bad.

Seeing what happened to this Anaconda makes me sad.

 

[GunSlinger]

I wonder how many of those involved injury?

 

[rugertoter]

Wow. Would not have wanted to be on either "end" of those guns.

Had a friend have an AR Kaboom several years ago. I'd had the pictures here in an album since it happened. Was not pretty.

I also remembering seeing this before I bought my M&P Pro. No I don't blame the gun like they did.

I remember seeing a revolver for sale at a yard sale that had the cylinder blown out. It was wired to a plaque for display. Saw it at a different yard sale for sale again about eight years later. If I see it a third time I'm buying it.

SAFETY This is the safety page from Grog's website. The images at the very bottom are very graphic. They show the results of a dangerous "bird bomb" load somebody made for an M203 launcher. You'll have to scroll a fair bit to get to the images.

That must have sucked

 

[Bfish]

Yeah I would like to see a picture of the people who were shooting those things! Geesh!

Even if the shooters were lucky enough not to get hurt, I bet the brown pants factor was off the charts.

 

[Ammo Dump]

I had an 8mm Hakim come apart due to case head separation of the round being shot. It's amazing what thousands of misplaced PSI's will do to a weapon.

This is just gruesome... what possesses people to "experiment" like this?

People don't think it will happen to them. It is the cool factor until something goes wrong. When you put a charge in a projectile, if it does not launch, or if the firing charge pierces the charge, instant explosion.
