Ain't that the truth!

I can see it now, swifter's ex-friend sends his gun back to S&W/Ruger/whoever with this note: "I demand that you replace the barrel of my gun, it was obviously bad from the beginning. I shot one round through it [well it almost made it through it - Ed.], but the second round blew out the hole you see in the barrel. There had to be a soft spot there from your unsatisfactory manufacturing processes." Hey, he only left out one small bit of info, didn't he?

I'll bet such things actually do happen and such letters actually do get sent to the gun manufacturers. I imagine they've seen it all.
