When things go bang!

I received this e-mail from a friend. Not sure where this happened.

.44 Magnum accident

First it was baby formula, then pet food, but now you should watch out when buying anything from China, including bright, shiny ammunition.

A guy came into the police department the other day to ask a favor. He had a S&W 629 (.44 Mag) that he wanted to dispose of after a mishap at the range.

He said there was a loud bang when he tested his new ammo (Chinese made), and the gun smacked him in the forehead, leaving a nice gash.

When the tweety birds cleared from around his head, the pictures show what he saw.

Bet he never uses Chinese made ammo again! Looks like when the round in the chamber went off, it also set off at least two other rounds in adjacent cylinders. I would have hated to been the one that pulled the trigger on that one!

Flesh wound. I can fix it. A little JB or DevCon and it will good as new.

These pictures have been around before. I don't recall the details, but I believe a reloading accident was at fault. I could be mistaken, though.

Chinese .44Mag? I've never heard of any. Seems like I've seen that picture before. My bet is reloads.

Someone should have reminded whoever reloaded those rounds that it's only BLACK POWDER that you can fill the case all the way up with....
