To try to redeem my part in this derailment, I will try to post a video later that I believe many will truly find a extremely interesting, destroy many myths and be a game changer sometimes for the most experienced of fire arm users
I'll preface it with why I was reminded of it.
I was in Bass Pro Shop recently and was picking up some 45acp in 100 round boxes, I was trying to carry 6 of them and had them stacked up one on top of the other, as I was heading to the stairs I was passing by their little room that contains their high dollar shotguns and such and figured I'd zip in and take a look on my way out... I cut the turn too quickly and two of the boxes got loose and fell to the ground and one broke wide open and the ammo flew everywhere, there were 3 Bass employees standing together in the doorway just a couple of feet away, one of them reacted to the ammo spill by jumping up and out of the way trying to avoid being killed I guess. I just stood there looking at him kind of dumbstruck for a moment until it dawned on me that the guys reaction was to the ammo hitting the ground and he was in fear of being struck by one of them going off....
It got better... when I realized why he did what he did I kind of laughed and mentioned he was in no danger... this is when another employee came over and started telling a story about how this happened in another store and a handfull of rounds had gone off and how lucky we all were that nothing happened this time... all three of the employees were in agreement with lots of head nodding, that they had just gone through a very dangerous episode and were happy they had survived without a wound... two of the three were gray haired and I've seen them before and suspect they have quite a bit of experience and knowledge with firearms, but they were all convinced that dropping bullets on the concrete floor could easily result in some going off and that had they gone off that the danger was extremely high that someone could have been possible killed or seriously injured...
