You should have seen the video of HK testing the M4 Carbine underwater against their 416's and 417's :lol: The M4 Just exploded and they had only the 1 on site

Is it just me, or is something like that just far too much fun to get rid of......?!! :lol: :lol:

Oh yes ! My glock 17 would go full auto if you released the trigger slowly after the first shot ! Great fun with 33 rd mags !

Never touched it though as soon after I had to hand all my pistols in to the police because of the ban.

Nearest I have got is with a 12 bore and a double discharge ... the first bird totally vapourised as I felt a slightly harder than normal kick, but there was nothing for the second.

The gun has been checked but nothing wrong - it has done it two or three more times and only when it is around -4c. But now seems to behave.

My Dads 471 Silver Hawk Tartarugato Did that to him and nearly knocked his shoulder out! fun times! Beretta had it back and fixed it though :)
