Default Stupid stuff that happened to you or you've seen

So this pass Saturday, I went with a friend to an outdoor range to shoot all our guns. Then I realized half way there, I forgot my hat. Instead of being smart and just stopping off at a gas station to buy a random cap…or buy a more appropriate one at the gun show we just went to, we decided to go without hats…mistake.

When we got there and started shooting, I noticed a guy in the next lane with a .50 Desert Eagle. Haven’t seen one in ages. He told me he was shooting reloaded ammo…after I asked to shoot it…mistake 2.

So from the first shot, brass came straight back and hit me right above my glasses at an angle at if I had worn a hat…would have deflected the brass and prevented the bruise I got from a hot .50 shell casing hitting me.

Life session of the day…always wear a hat when you should. Silver lining…it could have been worse.

Also the reloaded ammo must have been terrible because I had the weird double feed ever. Actually, it was a failed to eject with the next round trying to chamber, but instead of chambering, it punched itself right into the empty casing that was fired and the round got smashed further down the casing.

First time I've ever done a malfunction drill on a Desert Eagle in my life.
