I guess I'm done with this thread. The only point I was trying to make is that all of you with the "THAT WOULD NEEEEVER HAPPEN TO ME! I PRACTICE THIS MANY TIMES A WEEK, AM SUPER CAREFUL, SHOOT A BAZILLION ROUNDS, ECT, ECT" attitude worry me a bit.

You are ALL HUMAN, and ALL are capable of a mistake, NO MATTER HOW WELL TRAINED OR CAREFUL YOU ARE. It can happen.

And it seems like karma often makes sure it DOES happen to those who claim it could NEVER happen to them. I'd be EXTRA careful after making that statement.....

Of course some of the super ninja commandos here would never admit it even if they did have an AD or ND.....that would require taking the bayonet out of their teeth.....
