This is why you assign a safety officer have a formal process for safety.

Back in the early 90s I was into black powder revolvers for a time and and got involved with a gun fighting reenactment group. I had a Remington Army .44 cal black power revolver and a really nice belt and holster that a buddy made for me. I had long hair at the time and I was cast as the "bad guy" in the skits. I only lasted one rehearsal because I couldn't get over getting shot at like that and trusting the other person that he used the right load. Some of the guys joked about the wad hitting them and burning their shirt or their pants.

A few years ago, we had some civil war actors come and put on a show and talk for our cub scout pack. I had to jump up and stop of the guys when his cap fizzled and didn't ignite the powder in his rifle. He actually looked down his barrel and then swept the kids with the muzzle as he turned around.
