ajlafleche;
You are correct in your statement, however once long, long, ago on a range far far away I was witness to a Sgt. instructing another Sgt. in the firing of an M-72 LAW....With the rear of the weapon braced against his shoulder and the "instructing" Sgt's head tucked directly behind in the danger area of the back blast.
Needless to say both numpties were immediately kicked off the range with quite the few chosen words from a third Sgt (Former Paratrooper and Pathfinder). Oh what a day.
Although thinking back on it now I doubt even the best of the CSI shows could duplicate the high-velocity spatter that would have resulted had he actually fired the weapon.
Remember folks....SAFETY! Guns are not toys!
Cheers;
