Was probably the same guy who thought he'd take care of that pesky shotgun recoil by bracing his shoulder against a tree!

FTA: "There was no rushing him to the hospital. There was no Devon left when I got there," said 25-year-old Cody Staples, who called it an accident.

I'm wondering if it blew out the bottom, exploding his head like a over-ripe pumpkin, or if the tube recoiled into his head (also with squishy results)?

You can do that?!?! I thought that was only for a .50 to compensate for a missing muzzle brake.

Shows what I know

yep I figured that out. I figured if I cant fix them then ill go for banning them. send them all to California to live. then they can make all the laws they want and keep them over there. far away from me.

Newsflash: fireworks are dangerous.

I know I always like to put explosive charges and burning metals in the hands of morons and small children at least once per year.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

Off the top of my head, I would say this is a bad idea.

If you put the shell/projectile in the tube upside down it will blow the charge and the display will go off in the tube. Ask me how I know......go ahead.....ask......

OK How ? LOL

A guy at a gun range nearly blew his hand off when he dropped a mortar (firework) in upside down and grabbed the tube to toss it away from the others on the firing line. They aren't something to take lightly for sure.

This guy is a close second....

F*** that alligator.

and then jumps in the water and gets attacked by an alligator.
