Sounds like an explosive breaching exercise gone bad.

My thought too.

If you need an indication that you messed up the handling some device, substitute a flash bulb or firecracker for the explosive.

***Training practice with live explosives?***

Saw this thread and it brought back to mind an old TV show from 1961. Dick Powell Theater “Ricochet” in which troops are training to disarm mines using a bayonet as a probe. A goof off smart a$$ private hits the center and “Boom!”

The things I can remember in my old age! I wish I could remember which car I drive!

Where were Alec Baldwin and his Armorer (Hannah GutiƩrrez)?
