Kind of wonder how something like this could happen:
Soldier Shot After Live Round Gets Mixed in With Blanks

First thing I thought of. The barrel would burst, same as if you stuff the muzzle in mud.I doubt a live projectile could make it through a BFA.Blank Firing Adapter (BFA), Red, NSN 1005-21-912-8997, for M249-Series Machine Gun

There is definitely something amiss. An M249 wouldn't cycle blanks without an adapter and a live round would blow up the adapter and flash hider.Something stinks about this story. I smell a hoax.

No, the last ones were shot with the 45-70. Hollywood even made a movie about it.Funny...I don't remember shooting dinosaurs with my M16.
No, No, No,No...Please, not this again!How did the live round get there?
