BANG!!! (and the darwin award goes to...)

Okay, so I've been working at this new job where I build bullets for the military, right. Well, it's a pretty cool job, but you do have to kinda respect what you're making, ya know, cause bullets do go boom.

Anyway, today I'm standing there building belts of .50 cal ammo and apparently one of them fell off the conveyor. No biggie, happens occasionally, you just inspect it for damage and if it's ok put it back in the hopper. Mr. Brains picks it up, looks it over, decides it's okay, and then, instead of placing it in the hopper, he proceeds to lawn dart it 15' into the hopper.

Lucky day, the bullet (the pointy end to all you un-gun people) strikes the primer cap on another round, which goes off. Well, these being incendiary rounds, the burning bullet set off another one that it went through. That bullet went out the side of the hopper and through Mr. Brains arm. Uh, ouch.

Moral of the story, don't throw hard pointy things at big piles of cartridges, cause if you do you may be the one in the hospital while everyone else gets to take an extra long break.

Too true. I never really planned to throw this stuff around, but damn, now I'm positive. And as far as leaving a mark, well, I'd never seen a bullet wound in real life before, and a .50 cal isn't a little bullet. I guess the fact that it was incendiary helped him out though, since it kinda cauterized the wound. Still wasn't real pretty, though.

Yeah, Lou, after my heart slowed back down a bit I did have to laugh and shake my head about it. I mean, damn, common sense, anyone? If it's any consolation for you though, we do have hella quality control, and there are actually quite a few of us that realize our customers can't exactly call us up and file a complaint if they have a misfire in a less than friendly situation. Of course on the other hand, every single round of 5.56, 7.62, .50 and 20mm you fire does come from the place I work.......

sounds to me like he's lucky his arm is still attached, if it is.

My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

If that round had come out of a barrel instead of a case.... there would be little chance for the arm.

Geez.....that's one lucky dumbass! Those M2 incindiary rounds could have set off a LOT more than just one round.
