I am a news junky and I have never heard a news report about people being hurt with a Spanish gun. Actually I have never read a story of anyone being hurt by any m/l. That actually surprises me some what with all the things that can go wrong with them.

The only incidents that I know of is one guy in Bristol NH back in the 70's loading his m/l up with smokeless powder and the alleged incidences I have read on the internet.

So shoot your rifle following the loading guide lines and have fun!!! It will be in business long after you are gone if it is cared for and shot right.
