rem7400, I am not trying to take sides in this as I could give a rats butt what anyone shoots, but I can think of at least 2 instances where the firing pin locked forward in a semiauto and basically turned the firearm into a fully automatic weapon. In one instance the shooter lost most of his hand, and in the other the shooter lost his life along with a big portion of his head. When they let the bolt go forward to load the chamber, the gun fired unexpectedly and the barrel naturally rose up. Freak accidents yes, but had they been shooting another type of action it would not have happened.
