I think he used up all his luck...

If I were that guy, I'd go out and play the Lotto.......one lucky SOB.

Heard a click(more like primer only) today at the range. My buddy was shooting his reloads. 6 loud bangs and 1 super quiet one. Gotta say it was a little freaky. No squib though. The barrel was clear.

I am at a loss for words!

I say this prayer at least once a day.
"Oh Lord.
I realize that they are all your children, and that you love them equally.
But Lord.....
Why did you make so many of them stupid???"

There was squib at FNS last week in my group. the Shooter was shooting his reloads and didn't have a powder charge in one of them.

I didn't think the primer had enough power to get a 200gr .45acp out of the barrel. All my loads today were super hot. I need to scale it back some.

Holy crap! I don't even like checking the barrel when I'm cleaning it. That guy is a complete moron!

primer alone not unless it is real short barrel. The squib at FNS was just enough to get the bullet out of the shell and into the barrel. The slide never flinched that we could see.

More commonly known as "hang fire". If you pull the trigger and nothing goes bang, keep the muzzle in a safe direction for at least 30 seconds.

This ^^

I thought everybody were taught about that.
It happens quite often with black powder guns but that can happen with modern ammo too.

5" Colt. Odd, huh? CCI large pistol primers. Oh well, guess we'll never know.

Well, as one of our members so aptly puts it....."Stupid oughta hurt!
In this case I think it did!

A couple of things in the video make me think it was staged.
Not a live round but a firecracker down the barrel.

Watch closely again.
Racks gun and takes aim. (bang) racks and ejects round 1, chambers round 2.
Shoots round 2, racks gun again, ejects round 2 and presumably
chambers round 3.
Round puff of smoke seen in front at about 16 seconds in.
Pulls trigger on "round" #3, nothing.
Racks gun again, this should have dumped out round 3, it never fell.

 

[CalebToNowhere]

That would still be REALLY stupid!

Never underestimate the stupidity of your fellow man.

The guy still needs a nomination for the DARWIN Award. He would be one of the few that might get it non posthumously.
