19Delta
Cavalry Scout
@ 19 Delta, I can't believe someone let Navy Reservists near that thing. Someone's car got blown up that day.
Didn't know about that one, but that sounds like a Navy Reservist to me. I instruct 19Delta basic training. Two cycles ago, I think it was about July, we had a training round explode in the chamber of a MK19. It blew a few pieces of shrapnel into a trainee's leg and groin. He wasn't hurt too bad, but it scared the sh*t out of him. It's a good thing that it wasn't one of the HE rounds we used for the demonstration. We would've lost the gun, at least two instructors, and a humvee. Matter of fact, now that I think about it, the same gun used for the demonstration was the same gun that had the round explode. Guess things could've gone a lot worse than they did.
