Stop in for a cup of coffee

You mention flak gun. Do you know if he knew or shot near the guy who got hurt with his 20mm Orlikon that one year? Shell fired out of battery and he took a lot of shrapnel.
It wasn’t an Orlikon, it is a flak 38 in 20mm. And yes I do. That was my dad. His vest stopped most of the shrapnel, a lot of bruises and some cuts and powder burns. But he’s fine. It destroyed the receiver and extractor but he had spares thankfully. The extractor stuck in his vest, just in front of his heart. Very lucky.
That said, I’m pretty sure that was the last time he took it out and fired it. He won’t admit it, but he’s become scared of it since. And rightfully so. That was an incredible boom.
