do the casings eject at enough velocity to mark something or are they ejecting as it practically falling out and they are lightweight so would not have marked the door frame ?
so they were lightweight and therefore could have bounced ricocheted off other objects quite easily then .So them being on opposite sides of Sheilas body was of no real significance really .
Yes, I remember you discussing the cartridge cases and their locations. The rifle jamming and the breach being cleared manually could be an explanation for this, although even without jamming the cases can end up in different places following ejection during firing.
Thanks NGB, it was just a coincidence I read it this morning, I used to pass nearby those ranges quite frequently and could hear the shots.
The way the rifle was handled I'm not surprised there'd have been a malfunction. It was used like a machine gun.
Yes, who ever used it certainly knew what to do with it 👍
You mean " didn't know what to do with it ", mis-handled as in a novice.
Oh sorry Lookout, when you said machine gun I thought you meant rapid fire?
Yes to both suggestions.
. Do you know how it was suggested the rifle was used as a weapon ? By holding the barrel and using the stock end ? Am I right that it’s not a heavy rifle ?
If you got cracked over the head by it - I doubt it would tickle.
Not really an amusing subject tbh.
