rwham Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I would like to post this as a warning to everyone: I have a cheap walmart springer pistol. A couple days ago, I noticed that it would go off by itself if shaken too much. I informed my dad of this, who told me to throw it away. I didn't. About half an hour ago, I decided to see how fast I could grab it, pop in a mag, and rack the slide. I thought I was being safe by keeping the safety on. I wasn't. It went off, hit something hard on the floor, and bounced up and hit me in the eye. The vision in the eye that was hit is a bit blurry, and that seems to be the only symptom. I will probably have to go to the ER if it is not cleared up within the hour. So, as a warning, don't play around with your guns, even ones that are shooting about 100 FPS.

Hay3z Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 my first thought was... Ummmmm... Ya... guns out = eye protection on although you have two eyes.. dont risk it. Hope your doing better bud.. you'll most likely be fine.. but still.. these are scary incidents for sure. Lesson learned im sure. Link to post Share on other sites

Sale Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Now you can put down some really heavy words if someone questions these safety precautions: 1) Don't rely on the safety 2) Always wear eye protection. Just don't make yourself a warning example of any other safety issues, 'kay? -Sale Link to post Share on other sites
