Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 7,032 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 post Share on other sites
Major Crimes 2,302 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 post Share on other sites

Sixgun Sheridan 4,248 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. Link to post Share on other sites
