Anyone else see it? We were sitting right in the corner, sec 19 row 4 and it was funny. Some junior Nek was leaning on his gun like a crutch, muzzle on the ground and BOOM!!! Talk about embarassed, the whole corner was laughing and the other Neks were giving him grief for 20 minutes.
I talked to one of the Ruk/Neks about that during the game. They make their own shells. Almost exclusively, they are reloads. Occasionally, they will get a shell where the primer cap won't fire exactly when hit by the firing pin. That was what happened. They'd fired the trigger and the shell didn't ignite for whatever reason. Out of safety, they point the gun at the ground and continue to try to fire it before breaking open the breach of the gun. This makes sense to at least try to fire the shell before opening the breach of the gun with a "hot" shell in it.
At least that is what a guy named "Jim" from the Neks told me.
"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that."

Interesting story and it does make sense to do that. Sitting 25' away, I'm not sure that is what happened this time. The kid looked surprised as hell that it went off and he was seriously talked to by a few other Neks.
Getting a "talking to" is the last of his concerns. When I fired my first gun, I was told that it was a bad idea to point it "at" anyone with a badge. Useless trivia: A NEK shotgun is on display at the Smithsonian... your quest is to find out "why".
with all the scoring we do, you're bound to have a misfire or two.
some pledge probably put the primer in backwards.
Ever try thinking about baseball?Originally Posted by fadada1
hehEver try thinking about baseball?
because the Smithsonian is a museum........duh
did the shotgun go to the moon? or was that staged also?
apollo 13.
need i say more?
yes
It misfired on Apollo 13?
The NCAA took the old shotguns because they were so damn loud. The Ruf/Neks were able to hide one from the NCAA Nazis. I guess the NCAA destroyed the others and the Smithsonian wanted the very last ultra-loud ruf/nek gun.
I piece that together from rumors and a wild *** guess.
werent all the nek shotguns confiscated after an OU-TX game? reason: I havent the foggiest
you aren't THAT far off (in an indirect sort of way).
I read that there was a Nek shotgun found on the grassy knoll.....
Sirhan Sirhan fired a Nek gun once...
I heard that the DC sniper used a ruf/nek gun. Spread it around.
I heard a ruf/nek gun fired the shot heard round the world...
i beleive the ATF or FBI raided and confiscated all the shotguns in the 70's????
The ended up keeping one of them, and it was sent to the smithsonian.
I won't tell any stories about the loading of shells either
