Theme of this week's video: Malfunctions, Misfires, and Other Unexpected Behavior! After my 512T bit the dust in Stage 1, I spent the rest of the match trying to keep on my feet. My rifle also decided to start acting up, leading to a few unintentional discharges. The most egregious examples were in Stage 2 and Stage 5... thankfully, both well downrange and in the general direction of a target, but I still can't figure out what happened (and how to avoid them in the future) from these videos.

Big thanks to Johny Blackhouse and Bogus Jim for letting me use their side-by-sides for two stages, though I eventually decided to just spend the second half of the match trying to remember how to work my dusty "Wuhan-chester" (IAC/Norinco) 97. Credit goes to Camo Cowboy — another newer shooter who is quickly becoming a Tampa area regular — for the third-person videos.
