Accidental shotgun shell explosion? (video)

[Renaissance Redneck]

12g No shot, a BB, tape, and a piece of paper wrapped around it to make a thin cone. From what I hear anyway...

Yeah, I "heard" the same thing!!!

We were talking just this Thanksgiving about the various incendiary and explosive "projects" we engaged in as kids. It's a wonder we survived it!

I rolled a 1 1/8 oz AA shell off my table top onto carpet about 30 times. Not once did it hit primer end first. It ether hits flat or is more proud to hit at the shot cup side because of its weight at that end. I been around Cowboy Action Shooting for the last 8 years and we fumble and drop shot shells all the time and I have never seen or heard of any stories of one going off when hitting the ground of other objects.

You're attention to detail is fake. Seriously.

Go easy man! Theres no rule that says you got to explain your comment...

Saw the video on a television show while waiting at Jiffy Lube. They showed two consecutive frames of the "explosion" which are exactly the same and declared it a fake.

This is about the closest thread as any I could find on CGN for my question: who is held liable for any damage caused by the accidental/unexpected firing of stored ammo (in the box or in a standalone magazine)?

It depends on who has the best attorney and who has the deepest pockets.

So I take it there is nothing concrete on the books for this sort of thing?
