Playin' hard.

Just a kid, stuck in the body of this fat bastard...

Must have been the lowest bidder!
Yea. Looks like a Romanian rifle. God knows where the ammo came from. Looks like a round cooked off in the chamber and blew the top cover off. I've had a .22 rifle do that.
Damn! Looks like it blew his hat off. I had that happen with my 9mm carbine and cabelas reloads.
That's why we stand behind a tree, for a "test-fire" after we've "fixed" a gun, isn't it MUSHY? Yeah, I remember that from one of your posts---always thought I was the only asshole that played "chicken" that way!
I kinda wonder about a round "cookin'-off" too, Jeff. Even though in THIS vid, he hadn't been shooting THAT many. It appears that he was having SOME sort of problem with chambering just before, anyway. Then again---since you mentioned God only knows where the ammo came from---could've been a grossly-overloaded round.
Am I chatty tonight? Damned straight I am! Just now got settled down enough to breathe---I about got my big ass blew away this afternoon---and I mean that literally...!!!
I remember a time when an AK was totally reliable, under ANY conditions...
Can't even trust those commie bastards to make a decent rifle any more...
I loved that guy barking instructions in the background. Near the end he intones "alright, dude: you're not special." Cowboy up, already.
Still - that's not a nice surprise.
