RE: 22. bullet fired in pocket
rob94: What are you thinkin' man! This is law suite city, buddy! If a feeble-minded little old lady who spilled her hot coffee in her lap can get millions from McDonalds, what about you! Talk about pain and suffering, you'll probably suffer the psychological scars of this experience forever!
Just joking. I'm glad no harm was caused. Odd things do sometimes happen. Maybe you dinged the edge of the cartridge enough to set it off (it is a rim-fire type cartridge). Maybe the heat? If it hasn't already been said, the pressures created by gunpowder depend upon confinement. Set off a coffee saucer of 50 grains of nitro smokeless powder with a match and then compare that to a .30-06 shot from a gun. Fortunately for you, not much confinement of the combusting powder out of the chamber and barrel of a gun.
