Amazing misfire pics?
I got these pics in a chain email and I thought I would share.
The email claims that this is the result of faulty Chinese made primers.
Not that I support Chinese products but I am always skeptical as to the true source of photos like this.
My guess was that maybe this was the result of an extremely overcharged cartridge under the hammer that exploded and consequently caused the 2 adjoining cylinders to explode.
Anyway here's the pics:
Here is the text of the email:
This is why you buy AMERICAN and/or re-load your own!
S&W .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!
