"Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."
(Calvin & Hobbes)
It looks like they didn't screw the barrel all the way in. You're supposed to screw it all the way in and then back it off two clicks before setting the headspace and timing. Guess they don't teach that to Marines. Hah hah hah. Interservice rivalry is fun.
"I have always been a soldier. I have known no other life. The calling of arms, I have followed from boyhood. I have never sought another." From The Virtues of War, by Steven Pressfield.
Now was this an error in weapon head space, or operator head space?
We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-bitches, we're going to rip out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. Gen. George S. Patton
