You know it would be interesting to see the damage it did to your truck.


Did it only penetrate one door? Just curious
I read the whole English section of the manual (6 pages) and don't remember seeing anything about working the action. If I'm wrong though, I'll feel like a jackass.

I'll post the pics tonight just for kicks. My driver's side door was open, so it actually took a funny path. It went diagonally through the truck seat (I don't know what angle, but fairly wide) and then must have ricocheted off of something in the truck, because the path completely changed directions from where it entered to exiting my passenger's side door.
Well, just so you dont' feel so bad. I will share my jackass moment with ya. Ok, just got my first pistol. I was 18 years old, and just got my first apartment.It was amodel 13 nickel plated 357mag. Well, firing this thing, left the blast residue on the cylinder. I always kept it loaded. I tried to clean of the blast residue one day with a cleese cloth I bought, and decided to turn the chamber (with live rounds). My finger slipped and off it fired thru 2 walls into a oven of my first apartment. I used toothpaste to patch the holes, and quicly spray painted, called the next day to the landlord and compalined my oven wasn't working. Hey, important lesson, crap happens, so don't play with loaded guns.
