Of course I didn't put it quite that kindly but he got the massage.

2003 I had a HK 91 knock off Rifle in 308.
I had taken the mag out and was cleaning the gun. I had it on the kitchen floor and a fmj 147 gr. round was in the chamber. I didn't know that. The gun was on the floor and I hit the trigger. It hit the bottom of my refrigerator.
It did not damage the refrigerator as far as function but it look like Terminator 2 when he was hit. The bottom was melted and it went into the cabinet and completely destroyed a George Foreman grill machine went through the back of the cabinet to the laundry room through the door and splintered into the drywall. My wife was in the bathroom behind the laundry room. But there was no penetration Beyond the splintering into the drywall. The refrigerator took a lot of power and the George Foreman machine absorbs quite a bit and the cabinet had a hole through it through the second wall into the laundry and through a door that was behind the wall and then a splintering into the drywall. It scared the s*** out of me I ran and ask my wife if she was okay and she was fine. Just shook up from the noise. I really didn't hear though blast. It was a easy patch of the wall and the cabinet door was replaced..

Thanks for posting this.

I haven't had one but I have caught myself breaking one of the 4 safety rules before so it could have happened to me too. I expect most people that handle firearms a lot have made a mistake before. Sharing this stuff helps keep the rest of us from getting complacent.

AK's do that all the time. Never had any problems. Nothing too worry about
