I spent teh day with my best local buddy and his 8 y/o son. We started with an IDPA Handgun match, which featured a DMG (Defensive Multi Gun) side match. A good time was had by all! I fired a Kel-Tec RFB out of a canoe at allygators. Later a perfectly nice ma-ture gentleman ignited a .40 S&W cartridge out of 1911 style handgun. I'm told it mostly comes in .45 ACP, so you can imagine the substantial change our collective demeanors!
This occurance, being very much relevant to our interests will be verified with photographic evidence. I certainly do not desire an invitation to egress! RDWHAHB Relax Don't Worry Have A Home Brew |

My quickest way would be to send a cell phone pic right now to a valued member of this online community. The first non-Nigerian smelling one of ya, will get this in a reply. I am way to Uncapable right now, for a variety of reasons. You do realize that you could just send a text message to your email address with the photo attached, right? Even old shitty phones can do it, and it's not billed any differently than a picture message to another phone. |

The "alligators" were replicating the heads of these prehistoric lizard/boot material and popping them headshots via concentrated rifle fire. Just the top of an IDPA target cut out into shape.
It ended with a movie fun empty magazine transition to handgun. 3 AK chopping thugs stood at the far center of the berm. Great side match! My camcorder ran out of juice just prior to this. |

That is certainly an attractive option, Gerald! I feel that, at this time and running on a powerful sleep deficit, I think I will push myself away from the keyboard. My sensei agrees that this is not teh time to attempt to master a new 'skill'.
I just thought it was intriguing. Perhaps more so than those who have seen that before. Resume your regularly scheduled fappin' gentlemens! |

What the fuck kind of bullshit spyware site did you upload those to? Both pics tried to completely freeze up chrome. 
Just so no one else has to deal with it, heh. |
Man that scares me when people don't know the caliber for their handgun, that can only end badly for them, and I always make sure they know exactly what caliber of firearm they buy from me uses. It sucks to see that happen and possibly turn people off of guns because of a really bad time at the range.

I don't think anything unusual resulted as far as damage to anything/one. The valiant RO stopped the action b/c he observed a cycled action and nothing ejected. No harm, no foul. He restarted the stage and completed it. I did not catch the manufacturer or model. I didn't feel like making him feel like a douche nozzle.
It seems like a very dangerous situation, but this was really not. I am sure it can go much worse. It seems like a pretty damned ignorant thing to do, but I am prone to really stoopid boners myself. I bought a Judge for instance! |

Good to hear nobody got metal in their wrists, hands, and face, that'll ruin a perfectly good range session

8 targets were placed downrange, four per side simulating alligator heads and forearms at the waterline. We were tasked with shooting them with rifles whilst seated in an actual canoe. That would be much harder in actual water!
I saw a stage on the telly in a match in which a moat was created and a dude in a john boat was pulled parallel to the targets by hand while engaging targets downrange. Very cool indeed. Unmuddied point of clarity: the gun from the OP was a 1911 in .45 ACP and the shooter inadvertently inserted a .40 S&W cartridge in the gun. It cycled in during the stage and fired off. In case it is not clear from the pics, the case neck ballooned up to the size of the .45 chamber and sealed off all gas pressure so no harm came to the rear or left the chamber. The case did not rupture which I found surprising. 40SW is a fairly high pressure cartridge. Mebbe it was some gamer's reload? |
