Another thing occurring to me.
One time I was shooting a 200 yard sitting rapid fire match with an M1 Garand. In such matches, after firing the first two, you load and fire an 8-round en bloc clip. You're in a tight sling. Well, the M1 went full auto for the last three rounds because the hammer hooks or something had worn. Obviously I was not expecting this and the muzzle climbed, despite the tight sling. I'm pretty sure no rounds went over our 50-foot hill behind the impact area but, from the pictures, I think some wouldhavegone over the perp's ridiculous trench. And what if it happened on the first round out of the clip, instead of after five?
