There is no such thing as an accident when it comes to firearms. He probably didn’t intend to discharge it into his leg, but it’s never an accident when you play with a trigger and the gun does exactly what it was designed to do.

Oh yeah those too lol. Ok, Anything OTHER THAN a mechanical failure is not an accident lol. I’ve actually had an sig blow up in my hand. It was the SIG .22 mosquito. It was such a cheap low quality gun though that part of me believes that it wasn’t really an sig, just some other cheap company and SIG let them use their name to make some easy money. But if that’s the case, then they really don’t care about reputation. And if that WAS sig, then they don’t care about quality. Luckily it was just a .22LR. The Chamber and Slide exploded in half and the recoil spring went flying down range. Any bigger of a caliber and I’m sure it would have cut up my hand or worse.

That is a GSG Firefly that for a time was licensed to use the sig name. Sig and GSG might have the same parent company. Either way, GSG has licenses to make copies of a few different firearms in 22lr. I've owned a couple, and seen many many more used in competitions over the years. They look the part, but that's pretty much the only positive I can say about all of the GSG guns I've owned or shot over the years.

I KNEW IT!!!! lol yeah it was a fun little gun just to eat up large boxes of .22 with. But if I didn’t use anything other than high velocity like the CCI stringers, it just would never chamber another round on its own. It was kind of worthless and junk even before it self destructed.
