If you drop it on the cap it can detonate right there.<br /><br />Guess we will have to wait till they release more info.<br /><br />Sad, they were both good guys.

Practice rounds with solid shot?<br /><br />That is alot of smoke! It uses a falling block action.<br /><br />Reloaded ammo? What? I suspect bad ammo. Maybe one round was a squib and stuck a round in the bore or an overloaded round was put in. Could be that, something left in the bore (obstruction), a old HE round and not a 'vintage whatever'. <br /><br />Anyway the chamber and lock failed and blew up inside the turret.<br /><br />Prayers for the families.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635784352780834494noreply@blogger.com
