Well, one thing I am thankful for is that the round was not spinning as the barrel was smooth. It also had alot of blow back so the velocity was probably way lower then a real weapon would produce.
It did teach me to think on my feet real quick!
I had to go into the house and tell my Mom a tall tail about a drill to CMA!
I told my Dad the truth that night when he got home though.
He pretty much said the same thing you did.
