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.)

Not just the barrel, but the whole gun?

The chamber was glowing red. After we stopped, the bolt welded in the cocked position.
