2 days ago i purchased a WASR-10 (the Romanian version to an AK-47)
I took it to the shooting range yesterday and after 11 rounds it blew up in my face.
That being said, I still have my eyesight thanks to shooting glasses. When I was aiming the rifle to shoot the 11th shot the whole top of the receiver was blown of the top of the weapon and struck my face, the bolt slammed back, went off track slammed forward, crushing the next round. Gas and fragments from the last round were strewn into the air (mostly my face area)......
So whenever you shoot whatever it may be, use protection...
That and if you are firing a new weapon check the casings afterwards to see if any irregular damage is present. IF you spot any damage to the round, STOP FIRING see a gunsmith.
I had to really think how lucky I was when the range officer came by and said that I had a really good day since I was unhurt. (but this was after he told me that my gun was totaled or in other words "toast")
