This whole “he shot a secret service agent with a shotgun” theory various government talking heads are spouting, while DOJ doesn’t even mention the agent in recent court filings, is odd.

@Virginicus @mcnado Depends. In an enclosed space with hard walls, the ricochets end up going *everywhere*.

@mcnado I mean people who generally have firearm experience likely won't have shooting a firearm in an open room experience.
I had an m-60 cook off a blank (thank appropriate deities and luck) in a gp medium tent with no ear pro on and everyone agreed that was truly the loudest thing we'd experienced.
Yay Army training
A 12 gauge has A LOT more powder than a nato 6.72mm training blank. Specs are readily available
Blanks, lucky there not nearly as loud as the old 7.62's IIRC, nor as damaging to your health 8*)

@grumble209 seems unlikely that a guy using what was either a .380 or a 38 super, and a pump 12 gauge, would hand load, but who knows. Could be bad video, could be a ricochet, could be many things. I just am having trouble squaring the “shot an agent in the chest from feet away” with “agent left hospital same day” and the available video evidence.
