I had a friend who was an air rifle nut and he and some friends were shooting their rifles at some targets by a stream. One of them (only one) was a Chinese under lever.

One of the guys let go of the lever and it didn't have a stop and release like the RWS's they were also shooting , and it slammed down on his hand and severed one of his fingers. I think it mangled the others that it hit.

My friend threw the rifle in the river. I guess he should have thrown it in the river before they started.

I might add, that they all had been drinking beer all day. That didn't help---well I guess it might have dulled the pain.
