During an episode of insomnia, I decided to go re-arrange my gun safe.
(And let me first mention that I have lot of experience with firearms and NEVER has anything of this sort happened because all my other guns are quality pieces and the gun shouldnt fire unless you pull the trigger)

As I'm removing my guns, I notice my CHEAP *** Philippine made AK-22. I got it new for around $150, just a cheap piece of junk but it does fire pretty much every time I pull the trigger...

Anyway, I notice that the bolt is back and there's a round in the chamber, I tried cycling it, tried tweezers (didn't have a bore rod to get it out cuz its .22)

With the gun pointed to the ground, I cycle it once more (finger off the trigger) and BAM! Bullet hits ground, bounces off something and right into my leg!

Had to go to the ER for it... Got a tetanus (haha, Tet-ANUS) shot, had to get all the lead cleaned out since it was a lead bullet... Wasn't deep in my leg at all, and surprisingly, didn't hurt too much.

I inspected the rifle closely. and it looks like the firing pin was stuck out when I cycled it and thus the discharge.

One lesson is to be learned here, I will NEVER, EVER buy a cheap gun ever in my life. This is the first and is the last. thought it would be a fun cheap plinker, but stay the f' away:

This is it, only mine has a folding stock

I'm glad I was pointing it down and not out of the garage or wall! It put a nice dent into the concrete too about 3" away from my car tire, so I'm thinking it bounced off my car tire side wall and then hit me.

The feeling doesn't hurt in the normal sense, its more of a burning sensation. I was using "Thunderbolt 22" made by remington.

 

damn Daniel! good that it was your leg and not your head or some major organ! Wish you ANOTHER speedy recovery! Stop visiting the hospital man!

 

ouch, glad i dont own a cheapo like that!! Thats complete crap.

good lesson for everyone, its a good thing you only got it in the leg, coulda got it in the chest or head =(

im glad your all right brucelee.

hey we should get together sometime and go shooting, i dont have nearly the collection you have but i love guns none-the-less.

 

I'm fine now, just was scared last night of lead poisoning and crap... All is good now.

Don't buy cheap guns. I dont... With in exception of that one... and I paid the price.

Always remember to point the gun away from yourself not matter what. Thos made a nice dent in our floor.

Cops were involved and everything... just to make sure it was't something it wasn't. So the were looking through my stuff going Loaded G21 with custom work, and light and laser on it on the couch when they came in

 

jghbfg

 

Give you $50 for it. And a box of band aids?

 

ahahaha

 

You are on their radar now if you werent before after they saw all of your guns.

 

you're the biggest liar in the world, post a pic of you in the ER! I also traced your IP back to a comcast account, and blah blah blah. Sorry had to...that NASIOC thread cracked me up. People are so retarded. Next time play a video game with guns when you cant sleep!

 

LMAO, glad youre okay

 

chicks dig scars.

 

i'm pretty sure after this fiasco nobody should want it anymore. just give it to me.

 

uhhh.... you we're messing with your gun when it was loaded and chambered??

 

if u have a pic, that would be insane

gun shot pics are awesome!

my friend got shot by his dad with buck shot.. he had all the holes on his back and his legs... that picture was a good one too..

 

Slam fire! Notorious with SKS's as well!
Glad you're ok.
