Air rifle accidents!

[Tron 173]

Ron my friend mine goes back more years than i wished, well basically back to when i was a wee laddy (no silly or childish comments you lot either). Well it goes back to when i was a boy, i had a Webly (i think i'm right) Mk11 well it was the model that came with two barrels one .177 and on .22. Well this concept to a young lad was beyond the law, although i knew that air rifles had to be under 12lb/ft but had no idea what that was. But i remember thinking that if the gun had to be no more than this strange and mystical number, then if this was right for the .22 barrel it stood that because the .177 hit more targets then that barrel had to have more power. Not understanding trajectory.

Well on one occasion i know that you all will be shouting "Airgun Safety", but on one particular occasion when reloading the 177 without holding onto the barrel. Can anybody guess what happened next? Yep your right go to top of the class and leave me at the back. Well you all know what happened, i broke the gun to reload still having my right index finger near the trigger then reached for the tin of pellets, then wooosssshhhh the barrel wizzed past my ear that was lucky i thought. Well from that day until i sold it the 177 never shot as good as it had before. It was like swapping the barrels around because i could now shoot/hit more with the 22 than the 177. I know that the chance of me bending the barrel when cold is not possible with the energy the spring could produce but something changed.

Now for the moment that is all i am owning up to Ron, until others have put stories up on here as i don't want to be laughed at and "sent to Coventry" you youngsters that don't understand that phrase ask mum od dad not here as i don't want to feel older than i already do.

Here's one for ya, I was sat on the back door step shooting a target at the bottom of the garden which was about 35 yards away. I was 9 years old and my mother was doing the ironing behind me aswell as keeping an eye on me. After about 50 shots mam says ear let me have a go so loaded the gun ( relum tornado) and

went to change the target, just got the drawing

pin in then BANG my own mam shot me in the

back of my hand, hospital to get it dug out.

I nearly lost an eye when I was about 7, not from a pellet but from a 4" piece of stock. My two youngest uncles were playing around with a rifle, and being a nosey interested kid, I had my head right in there watching what they were doing. Well when one of them cocked the rifle, as he was getting a pellet ready, the rifle went off and the force of the recoil shattered the stock, and sent a chunk of it into my eyelid. Lucky really.
