...and this is what I would call a bad day at the range (NSFW)

You ran? Why didn't you seek cover, assume defensive positions and engage? That's how the TruthaboutGuns Man would have handled your situation.

PS. When I was 20 years old about the worst thing to happen to me was having a sorority girl throw beer in my face. I cried.

When you're standing in a rice paddy, the only cover is face down, running is the best option unless you love the taste of crap..

I was always told do not buy a Vulcan or Hesse 50 BMG...

Damn that must have hurt. I feel for him. I hope there is no permanent damage.

Just wow! I can't imagine how bad that hurt !
Targetmaster, you're the man. "Fellas, that LAW did not function properly. "RUN". Thanks for serving.

Welcome Home and job well done Targetmaster!! The only way I'm shooting a >50 BMG is if I reload it! Most .50's are pulled and reloaded by someone else. I am dang sure not gonna' stick it in a cheap a$$ Vulcan when I shoot it. I realize this could happen to other firearms as well but I want the odds in my favor when it comes to quality control if you know what I mean.
