The first time I fired an M1 Garand, I only know the things I know from the movies so I asked where the safety was and the owner actually didn't know...I figured it out because I've handled M14 types before. Same place.

I was shooting an IPSC match 20 years ago and got a squib with my SA M1911A1. I put another round behind it and my handgun locked up.
The second round caused the barrel to split from the crown to the front of the chamber. I had to beat the slide off the frame with a rubber mallet. I shit canned the bbl and bushing, installed a new bbl and bushing and it was up and running again in 3 days. A few years ago I installed a silencer on my M1A Scout. I had always heard M1As/M14s were a bitch to suppress. I did not realize why until round 3 when a blast of hot gas burned my face for three days. Open receiver will get you every time. I now run that rifle with a breech shield adapter and haven't been burned since.
