Out OF one hundred cases Of double bar
relied gun bursting, ninety-6ve can he traced
to defects in the left barrel. Tho reason is
simply that the right is most frequently used
and reloaded, perhaps ten times to the lett
one being discharged once. Every time the
right barrel is discharged, the gunpowder in
the left is pulverized more or less by the shock
which, therefore, leaves q space between tine
charge and the waddlng by settling. Natur-
aliy, when the left barrel is discharged, it frc-
urently explodes. These accidents can be-
avoided by sending the ramrod homo with
one or two smart blows into the aon-dis-
charged barrel every time the othor is re-
loaded.
