Laid the rifle on the floor and put everything else away. Came back and picked it up by the pistol grip, and like a total idiot moron got my finger on the trigger.

Yes a 5.56 is most loud unsuppressed shot thru a 10.5" barrel.

I swear it was like the magic bullet when JFK got shot. It went under the couch, carved a path thru my laminate floor to the concrete slab, ricocheted back up and went into the wall behind the couch without ever touching the couch. Then thru the drywall and into the block wall. I held my breath when I opened the front door to see if it went all the way thru the block...it didn't.

I was also lucky it hit the floor right next to the tile foyer. I kept several pieces of the flooring in case I ever needed it. Was simple to fix.

Hotdam you got lucky there sir, I was thinking about feeding the rifle a subsonic frangible diet...
