Re: Base Plate Pops Off And 9mm Fly

I saw that happen during an IDPA match once. The poor guy was so embarrassed that we didn't see him again for months.

Posing a question is the extra one or two rounds worth the risk?

It's impact force that fires primers not sharpness. I don't think dropping a round on the primer will cause it to fire and if even if it did the result wouldn't be life threatening. Smokeless powder needs to be confined to work properly.

As a kid, my brother and I used to stick .22 rounds into the dirt and shoot them with our BB guns. :nono: They made a nice loud pop great fun, until one of the cases hit me just above my eye. :eek6 We decided to use the .22 shells for their intended purposes after that. :thumbs2: We were dumb but not stupid. :biggrinjester:
