Yup. The powder (BH209) got wet. I got rained on pretty hard, and had black tape over the muzzle. I think what happened was, if you carry the rifle muzzle down, water runs down the outside of the barrel and collects in the tape. Then when you turn it muzzle up, the water runs into the bore. The primer lit, the powder went "ppffffffft" and the bullet blooped out and hit the ground about 20 feet away.



A wise man is frequently humbled.
