And, uh,
finally it's time to go i pulled the system and i had a malfunction and without getting too technical one of the firing systems it didn't fail necessarily it failed because um a safety a safety cotter pin didn't come all the way out and so
Anyways, in my haste, because I had an eight-second firing system on it, that's not a lot of time, eight seconds, right?
The time you get done screwing around with that, it's like, how many seconds do I got left?
Four seconds.
I remember messing around with this thing.
I said, something feels off, but it should be burning because I pulled it hard enough.
But I can't hear it.
I can't see because of all the noise and the gunfire.
And I said, it's got to be burning.
I said, now I've got maybe three seconds to get off the X, right?
So as I get off the target, and I'm going to run around behind the stack,
The charge comes off the door, right?
And it falls right behind me as I'm running away.
And I could see it out of peripheral vision.
I was like, oh, crap.
And poop, it hits the ground.
And so in my mind, I'm counting 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000.
And at that point, I realized that the charge misfired, right?
So I run back out there.
