Had a 1" barrel full of marbles burst on me,it blew apart into about6 pieces.One large chunk hit me in the head and the rest just flutterd to the groud and my barrel folded and limped down.No injuries and I wish I had a picture of it.

Only thing that really happened to me was hooking up a small and cheap basketball pump, (meant to pump up basketballs, footballs and the like), to my carry tank at 80 PSI. Shot the handle across my room, but I was really expecting that. 8)

Hopefully I will never have an accident with spudguns. Me and my friend were shooting golfballs at skillets today, though, so I do do some dumb things from time to time. :wink:
