Thanks Paul.... excellent demo... and imagine that with a spring block or trigger block behind it nailing someone. Guaranteed hospital time..... andat theextreme, maybe the coroner's office for an autopsy appointment and death certificate.
Now you can see why I get so upset when people say they don't need or use a spring compressor. Even with a weak spring or a light weight gun, you can very easily put out eyes and teeth or more with just a little pressure from a steel spring flying around loose.
Gene knows just how pi$$ed I get about it and if it were up to me, I would ban anybody suggesting it or at least delete the post in it's entirety. He has also seen the dent in a cupboard door made by a spring that slipped and just missed him from about 8 feet away. I'm setting here getting fried just thinking of someone suggesting it.
If anybody is aware of the dangers or has been forewarned of danger andthe possibility ofinjuries caused and he still doesn't use a spring compressor, how or why should anybody feel sorry for him. I do feel sorry for someone that might do so not knowing any better it and something goes wrong. And it does happen.
But.... there are some out there that might follow the advice of some idiot that states he does it or anybody can do it or it's not hard (and then might state "I don't recommend it though" is a dangerous person to have around. It's like playing Russian Roulette. Play it long enough and you will lose. But by the same token you might just play it once and lose. But the ass that gave you the gun to play the game don't really care about you because he's can never lose as long as it's you playing the game. And remember... under the right conditions it can kill you or someone around you.
If one cared anything about the safety and health and had concern about the members and guests (or anybody else for that matter), they wouldn't or shouldn't even mention that they would remove a spring without a spring compressor. For everyone that reads those kind of comments and statements....please don't listen to those idiots that aren't standing in your shoes.
Gene and I are always concerned about safety and the safety of the membership and our guests..... and Paul.... you sure know where my hot buttons are.....lol... now I gotta go out and have a cigarette and it's all your fault.
