(there is a lot of my earlier life when I did some work for the DOD as a contractor, just wiped out that part of my life) but anyway a friend was going to teach me how to use it. He set out a target on a trash barrel and loaded the magazine. He showed me how to hold it and shoot it. After emptying the clip in the middle of the target. We both looked at each other, I put the gun and clip in the box and gave it to him.

I have not touched a gun since, that was 1993.

No guns were harmed in this event... So that's a blessing, I guess. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #2

I think a few of the guns were injured when their careless owners dropped them. LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #4

No. I dropped my weapon, once, in bootcamp. Trust me, I was the only person harmed. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #6
