I was running the range in ROTC for the girls in the Army Nursing Program.
One girl had a squib. The next round resulted in a catastrophic barrel blow out just behind her hand, chunks of M-16A2 went everywhere. She set down and started to sob. I cleared her rifle and went and puked behind a bush. (my normal reaction to stress.)
A funny from that day though was that through liberal use of the Forward Assist a girl managed to cram an M855 into the chamber with the remains of the previously fired round that had been only partially ejected.
