I copied and pasted this from another gun board:
:shock:
------------------------------------------------------------------
hey, i was KNOB CREEK today in Fort Knox KY
(worlds largest machinegun shoot www.machinegunshoot.com) some rich guy (the guns are $20,000-30,000+) was on the
line shooting his 20MM canon (Gigantic damn anti-aircraft/tank gun)........he was shooting and BOOOOOM.....gun BLEW up in his face, throwing shrapnel everywhere and into
some other folks so it seems.......
happened at 4:20 or so PM today when i was there, i was blocked from getting out for an hour........ambulances left.....i drive out, ...then Ambulances (multiple people it seems) stop at the bridge, and a MEDIC RESCUE CHOPPER swoops in, then takes the folks from there.
Was sitting there on the road watching this chopper load people for about 20 mins. …
you all know how HUGE a 20MM round and gun is? it makes the .50 BMG look like a .22 Rimfire by comparison....
from all we (me and others there) could gather was that one of those giant 20MM cooked off partially chambered.....bad news.
holy crap.......Friday the 13th !!!!
Prayers out to him and any other folks hurt
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone else have any info on this???? :?
