Ever witnessed or experienced absolute chaos at the shooting range? In this gripping episode of Gun Gripes, Eric and Matt from Iraqveteran8888 dive deep into real-life range horror stories that will make you cringe, laugh, and double-check your safety habits. From life-threatening military mishaps to civilian close calls, these tales expose the dangers of complacency, rule-breaking, and bad decisions around firearms.

• Military nightmares: Runaway M240 machine guns from jams, deadly M2 .50 cal recoil springs launching like missiles, improperly timed barrels shooting off Humvees, and hangfires in 120mm mortars risking explosions.
• Civilian disasters: Binary explosives blowing up targets and sending shrapnel back, steel-core ammo ricocheting off improper steel into legs, renters spraying ceilings with MAC-10s, accidental discharges into counters, and unsafe handling of loaded FN57s.
• Key lessons: Why eye protection saves lives, never shoot steel-core at mild steel, the risks of complacency for experts and newbies alike, and how indoor ranges see the wildest rookie mistakes.

Packed with firsthand accounts, expert insights on range safety rules, and discussions on firearms like AR-15s, .50 cals, mortars, and more. Essential watching for responsible gun owners to learn from others' mistakes and avoid becoming a horror story yourself.
