I once had a 7.62 cook off in my face as i was changing belts on a mag58. Total pants shitting moment that was. I was 18 and thinking "ok thats it im now blind". As luck would have it i just got atomised brass in my face, and half the cartridge went down the barrel with the bullet.
Swapped barrels, belt on, 'build a bridge mate'. The army was a loony place sometimes.
