EVERY modern replica black powder arm is I have ever seen is clearly stamped 'FOR BLACK POWDER ONLY'. How can somebody get it so wrong?

If you e-mail me, I have a picture of a similar model that was blown up with a nitro load instead of BP.

It might be a good pic to use as a sticky, too, to warn other smart-asses about ignoring basic instructions.

The only injury (apart from the gun, and a severe case of Montzuma's revenge) was to someone standing behind him who received a slight cut to her forehead. The worst damage was reserved for the sidewalls (heavy gauge plywood) of the booth he was shooting from. On the right side it punched a hole straight through whilst the left side had an indentation in it.

We already have one example of carelessness and we don't want any more.
