Yes, I was this stupid once.

With thanks to [livejournal.com profile] redc1c4



Yeah. My stupidity involved sinking a M-113A1 in a pond and deciding it would be cool to see what would happen if we blew off over 3,000 rounds of 7.62mm in a single M-60 burst. (We melted the gun. Seriously. Miracle the thing didn't explode.)

We melted the gun. Seriously.

Not just the barrel, but the whole gun?

Let's just say that I gave up pizza and beer for two months, and got used to being called "private" again instead of "PFC."
