Genius at the Range

I saw this the other day at my local range.
Some guy was shooting his handgun. Couldn't tell exactly what it was, but it was in 40S&W. Anyhow, when he racked the slide, he put HIS ENTIRE PALM over the business end of the barrel when he racked. It dragged over the barrel and was still flush against the hole when the gun was chambered and ready to fire. The genius had his finger on the trigger on top of that.
I let him finish the mag before I sent him outside to talk to the foreman for some refresher safety tips.
My gun is prettier than yours, and it's a Glock!

That compares to the stupid act of your range fellow.
If your up on mortars, the 4.2 is fired by a shotgun shell, when dropped into the tube the force of decent and the primer being struck by a firing pin at the bottom propells the round out,
Every now and then ya might get one hung in the tube, Well it happened to me. Going by the book, cleared out the gun crew, bent away from the tube and commenced to kick the hell out of it, in an attempt to dislodge the round and make it fire.
A Greenhorn Rear admin major, hollered at me to stop kicking the mortar, and I instantly told him to stay back that a round had hung in the tube,, DUMB * actually came over and looked down the tube,
His words were "damned if it aint stuck" he barely turned away when the round slid down the tube and fired,, Talk about some Messy Pants,
Best laugh I ever had. LR

I thought about buying a spotting scope but the good ones cost too dang much. I have a cheapy that is supposed to be 40x but your lucky to see holes from a .54 cal ML at 50 yds with it. One day we was doin that and some dude gave is some of those Shoot'n'see targets, now dem things was cool as heck! Didn't need to stand out yonder and look for them.
When in doubt...empty the magazine!!
Sorry man - I agree with Shootist3006, you should save the bandwidth if you continue this practice.
