How could this live ammo incident have happened? In order for an auto or semi-auto weapon to function with blanks, you need to put on a blank adapter - which basically obstructs the barrel of the gun... This should pretty much make the gun blow up if regular ammo is fired... unless the guy using the live ammo didn't put on a blank adapter as well... in which case one has to wonder if it was an accident... [&:]

It happens Bob. I've seen it. What I saw was live ammo with a blank adaptor. Big explosion and lots of hurt people. I've also seen blanks and live ammo mixed together. It's amazing the stupidity of people sometimes.

Yes - i could see that (i.e. - an explosion) happening, but the story that i heard (on radio) was that the guy SHOT SEVERAL PEOPLE... of course, the story could be wrong (i.e. - maybe the gun blew up and injured several people)... my question: how could you shoot more than one person with a blank adapter on?

Apparently the guy sprayed live bullets (i.e. so he did actually fired at least several of them) - so there was no explosion at all... [:(]

BTW, is there a need for blan adapter in all modern automatic rifles? What gun French use?

They use the FA-MAS, and it comes with a little round blank adapter. You have to have it, in order to trap enough gas to work the bolt.

With FAMAS, regular weapon for french infantry, you have to use a blank adapter. If firing real bullet with it, you blow your gun. The french medias are dumb enough to explain the accident with no precision: they have no idea about how to fire blank shot!! To shoot on 16 people take a little time, even with long burst. I can't explain myself how it could happen...even with stupidity....

It is purely criminal. Sadly for all of France's military this is a black eye.

It will show up, after you re-load it. If you wait for it to fix it'self, you may well be in for a very long wait. [:(]
