This has been several years ago now, I still see the scars on my arm, face, chest, leg and stomach, dont be like me.
This is what is left of a .54cal Renegade. It had green dot put in it, a fella played with my speed loaders and then refilled them with "gun powder" not knowing any better he just filled them from a can in my room. I loaded the gun with the loader out of my bag. The gun would not fire, it took a bit to get this mess to go off.
When it went off, this was the result. What you see other than a shard that can be seen missing in the top picture is all that was found in the yard. Some other pieces were removed from me, one being the breech plug. The breech plug exposed the femoral artery, had it been torn open I would not be posting this.
That being said what you are looking at is the breech of the rifle. had it been near my face I would not be as pretty as I am now. Because it took so long to get to fire I had it in my left hand pointed at the ground when it detonated.
It was given to the Fish and Game people for gun safety classes, it gets attention. If they could see the scars I have, they would be far more cautious than I was.
