1994. Hohenfels Germany. 1/4 Infantry. My company brought a dozen M-60 machine guns back after running the M-60 range at Graf for the previous four days. We were breaking them down inside our building and one of the machine guns still had a round in it. It went off and into the floor. The Army had that little crater patched up within a couple days.

2002. The day after Thanksgiving. I pointed one of my "empty" S&W .357 magnum revolvers at the basement wall and pulled the trigger. Fourteen years later my wife still won't let me patch the little crater that the hollow point made when it impacted with the concrete wall. Says it's a good reminder for me to always make sure that the guns are really empty.
