It shed its lugs and handle, and the bolt body went into the shooter's face, from his eye socket down through his upper and lower jaws, broke his collar bone, and lodged inside the base of his neck.<P>All you have to do, to see the same thing, is to do what he did, as long as he did. I wouldn't, if I were you. But you're on your own. �o)<P>I also have here some of the pieces of a friend's once-nice custom FN Mauser that failed catastrophically when half the head of the case blew away under extremely high pressure and the escaping wild gas blew the receiver and stock to bits.
