Blade_of_tyshalle posted:So, when a round goes off outside the chamber like that, does the bullet have any dangerous force? Like, I'm imagining this dumbass not just ripping his hand to shreds but also shooting himself in the eye or something, but I feel like it's more likely to just smack him in the face since all the energy isn't directed down the barrel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ9jOGde4ws (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

The human body is also mostly water and that means it’s really, really good at absorbing the energy from explosions. Like that dude that tried to assassinate someone with a suicide bomb up his rear end and absorbed basically the whole blast. Left his target more surprised than anything else.

If there's one thing I've learned about military culture, it's that sex crimes are considered 100% normal and nobody in a position of power gives a poo poo about doing anything about them.

During the mid 2000s a recruiter called me on my 30th birthday and left a voicemail offering exactly this I think he promised me e-4 out of boot camp I did not call back. I'm not sure how I ended up on their list but I got a lot if cold calls from 04-07

I got a cold call from a Marine recruiter when I was 18 at 7 AM on a Saturday. I can't imagine there's a lot of overlap between people who are awake and at home at 7 AM on a Saturday and people who are willing to join the Marines.

Just you know, moto messages on the board next to the cement IDF barrier, made up bullshit about Mr.Rogers and HAMBURGER HAND. I mean I've seen worse and done worse to people but still... For actual content, here's a picture, of a picture of my old driver/ammo team chief and the barrel of my howitzer.  Gonna be thinking about that hand for a while. How goddamn dumb do you have to be?

I used to work at a retirement home. One of the old ladies there told me that she worked in a munitions plant as a teen/young adult in WWII. The station she worked at involved placing the shells in a set of calipers near the end of the line as quality control to ensure that they were the right length. One of the girls was rushing, because she had a date right afterwards and wanted to finish early. She slammed a shell a little too hard into the calipers, which set off the round and turned her hand into mush

Is the idiot the one who set up a length-measurement system you could use to set off a round if you slam it a little too hard, or I assume if you tripped and fell on it or a million other things? Thanks a lot, Roosevelt!

I think it's more likely she crushed her hand but having the shell explode makes for a better story.
