Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Finally, someone that really has a reason to complain about a gun shooting low and to the right!

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 When I was in Charlie Btry 1/36 Arty in Germany, back in ‘67 there was a PFC IN Bravo Btry who had blown a rod in a deuce and a half, and then repeated on a three quarter. He was assigned to mow the parade ground. Once down the ground and half back up, BBAAAAMMMM. Blew the rod in the mower. Never heard what else happened to him but I suspect he may have gone on the next “13A10 needed for SE Asia” requisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Crimes Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I was on the Range (and had to do the investigation) when we split a 105 Leopard barrel like Elmer Fudds gun in a bugs bunny cartoon It split into 4 (peeled back from the muzzle like a banana) along the lines of the scribe marks on the muzzle. I will bet the picture above was due to the stab being turned on and going thru close terrain without holding the gun at 12. Not that I would know that from any personal experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Wait....anyone else notice the barrel follows the slight crook in the road?

Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I might have read it here once, but apparently there was a grunt in Iraq who left his M4 propped across a curb, and a Humvee backed over it, bending it like a banana. Somebody got the idea to flip it over and run over it again to straighten it out. When it was turned in to the armorer it was a nice S-shape.
