    Feel free to laugh at my misfortune!!
    So I just put a V2 box back together for a customer and before I stuck on the top reciever I decided to test it.
    Little did I know my thumb was resting on the spring window at the rear of the gearbox when I pulled the trigger!!! Piston flew back and snipped the top of my thumb clean off!!!
    No stitches were required and thankfully it was set on semi!!
    At least I get to tell the owner that there is a wee part of me in his aeg!!

    So remember keep your effing hands away when test firing the gearbox out of the gun!!!
    Let the mocking commence!!

    Happen to me once as well... only not with a thumb, between between the a thumb and a pointing finger, and (obviously) piston was stuck on the tissue there. I had to open the ****ing thing than... It was good 3 years ago, but by all means I do remember the lesson :(

    Had it happen to me and I know of few others who had the experience too. Something that tends to happen once only but is forever remembered.
    Hope it heals quickly.;)
