This happened at a MG shoot I was at on Saturday. The Guy is quite fortunate. I know nothing about anvil launching, but I heard him mention something about a powder leak.

So, if you were to get hit by that anvil on it's way up, would it have enough energy to take you with it?

It would probably take part of you at least.

What if you fired over a really big treadmill though?

He's lucky he's okay.


That cat is far from "OK."

His left leg was about 6" from an explosion big enough to launch an anvil 10 feet.

My guess is that he'll be digging frag out of his ass for the next couple of months.

It was a valiant try for the Darwin award, but he just missed it!

He seemed ok, Acted like nothing happened. Went on to shoot his beltfed a couple minutes later.

For some reason shooting an anvil straight up into the air seems like a bad idea.

Even if the canister was paper, there was still enough energy there to fuck some shit up.

Take a look at how he's walking.

Yeah, if you're going to launch anvils, you should at least bring an umbrella.

Thats kinda how he walked before the explosion. I bet the gunpowder wasnt the only thing that leaked

Maybe I don't understand pin shoots (not Mr. .50's target), but that idea has always seemed dangerous to me.

The Anvil and propellant must have been made by ACME....
