Here's one of me last Saturday.
As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

hehe

Shooting is a really fun hobby.  In that picture is an ArmaLite AR10 A2 carbine.  It cost $1405.  One magazine of ammo costs $15.  :)  That is, unless one explodes like my P250 did.

Figure out why it exploded?

I liked shooting this gun here that my brother is shooting (he claims it was a Russian .308 automatic, but I don't remember the real name):

Particle, do you think you could maybe restore my characters password?

I made a post on it.

Yeah, Lidge.  I had a case head separation--the back of the cartridge tore off during extraction and another one got rammed into the chamber with the previous round's case wall still in place.

Ah malarkey... that sucks.
Was it a reload, custom load or off the shelf round?
Reloading can save you a lot on Brass for your Armalite there; craigslist and estate sales some times have reloading equipment for cheap.

It was a combination, actually.  It was an off-the-shelf reload from like the 70s.  It wasn't done by Joe Random in a garage or anything.  It was commercially reloaded.

I'd hate to see what would happen if Particles house went up in flames.

But yet, somewhat interesting...

That's malarkeyty, Particle.
Is the firearm unrepairable?
Would the company offer repairs?
Just random thoughts.

Adam:  It would depend on how the ammo is stored.  About half of my dad's ammo would go off, the other half is locked in a safe and a fireproof box.  The first mentioned half is mostly labeled as "unstable rounds" anyway (DO NOT USE) so it might net be too big of a show, depending on the degradation of the cartridges.  Even if they did explode from heat, shrapnel would be local to a few feet of the storage point and be non lethal; heated ammunition does explode, but it dissipates it's energy quickly because there is no barrel or to focus the escaping gasses, or breach to contain the cartridge.

Yup.  Without a barrel, you get a very weak show.  It's kind of like a pointy firecracker.
