I never fired a round of anything in my range in Md without muffs.
I was in the house when we had an AD of a 12 gauge tho and it was
impressive.

That must have been an exciting WTF moment. Can we ask how it
happened?

That sori of thing certainly highlights the wisdom of always pointing
in a safe direction, and treating it like it is loaded (since
sometimes it is).

My buddy picked up my 97 Winchester and racked it. He didn't
understand it did not have a disconnector. It was pointed in a safe
direction but I did have a pretty big drywall patch to do. It would
have been worse if he didn't hit a stud.

It fired without a trigger pull? That would be scary as ****.

There is no disconnector so if you have your finger on the trigger it
goes off as soon as the bolt goes into battery. You can certainly get
a lot of lead down range in a hurry tho. The guys in the Winchester
demo teams were hitting targets faster than the guys using
autoloaders.
