> Guy loves guns, hates the UK
> Started with 22, he's pretty good with it
> Normally play a lot of vidya with him
> Give a very simple explanation of how to load AK
> Assuming he gets it since we play CSGO all the time and he's seen how it's done, also because he's into guns
> Turn around to go load up some magazines for the 22
> "Hey this is correct right?"
> Turn around, give it a glance, looks fine to me
> "Yep, just rack the charging handle back to chamber a round, have fun."
> Turn back around, continue loading mags
> Hear sound of him cycling the action and letting the go forward freely
> Immediately followed by 2 sounds I did not expect
> Mag falls out, hits table, falls forward across the firing line
> I did this to myself.
> go get range employee, he gives me a shovel they use for scooping up brass
> get mag back
> Give a much more thorough explanation about how to properly load it
> Back to loading .22 mags
> "Hey there's some sort of failure to feed issue."
> That's odd, though he did just drop a loaded mag from standing height, better check it out
> Sure enough, magazine follower is stuck about halfway up, not feeding rounds.
> Hand him another mag, tell him not to worry, it was my bad
> Now how am I gonna fix this fucking thing?
> Shake all the cartridges out
> Look at it for a moment
> If I were Mikhail Kalashnikov designing this thing, what would I expect a Soviet Conscript to do right now?
> Slam magazine on table
> Follower freed, magazine works properly
> mfw can't believe that actually worked
