At least is misfired accurately. I hate it when guns explode on me down and to the left.

And that folks, is how you turn a rifle into a bomb.

Holy crap! I've never seen anything like that.

Will someone go buy that guy an asprin ?

[Fëanor]

Well that rifle will make a cool trophy! Like jakflak said, it looks cool the way it exploded symmetrically.

That falls under:

New 30-30 Hunting rifle: $795.00
Box of ammo: $50.00

Forgetting to remove Bore Sighter: DUMB!

Mythbusters tried really hard to do that to rifles and shotguns and didn't get it to work.

I am having a hard time buying this. What is the source?

All that damage to the rifle and so little damage to the laser device!????

Doesn't smell right.

I think the Mythbusters were trying to debunk the myth of the finger in the barrel. I am not sure where the posted photos originated, they were e-mailed to me.

We've got some rifles that we show kids in hunter ed. that were fired when the barrel was plugged, or some with the wrong size ammo. None look like that rifle. They either do damage around the bolt or splits the barrel at the end about an inch or so.

Looking at the pic it appears to be photoshopped. The top split especially.
