"I looked all over the net and the only pearls of wisdom I can find from you are compelations of other peoples' research. "
"As for Ackely, he forgot more than you will ever know. "
So you are relying on P O Ackley's research rather than actually doing any research of your own, Hypocritical much?
So far I have not had a failure of the heat shield of an atmospheric re entry vehicle but I understand what would happen if I did.
When it comes to documentation of any firearms related accident the only thing local authorities might look into is the blood alcohol level of the shooter.
There's an old saying "pilot dead? then its pilot error". Blame the crash on the pilot and the aircraft manufacturer is off the hook.
A double charge can certainly blow up most guns, but to immediately assume that each and every kaboom is due to a double charge is not very smart at all.
When a Low Number 1903 shattered like a jelly jar and fell apart in the hands of the shooter when firing a low powered guard cartridge the first assumption was that there had been a double charge. On close examination that explanation just didn't wash. The receiver didn't fly apart, it fractured in many places then fell apart. the cartridge case showed no signs of excessive pressure. The cause as near as anyone could say was that the low powered charge did not expand the cartridge case enough to grip the chamber walls so the case head moved back like a piston at high speed and gave the bolt face a very hard rap like a hammer blow. The receiver which had survived proof testing and thousands of service loads shattered because it was brittle all the way through. So a double charge is not the blanket answer to every action failure.
