Murphy’s Law provides that if you can assemble something backwards you eventually will do so. This weekend I loaded the magazines for my Lelya 2 without bothering to put on my reading glasses. After all, they are easy to load and I had done it before. Well, it turns out they are not just easy to load but can just as easily be loaded backwards. On to of that, they will slot into the mag opening and the first round will fire. What happens when you try the next round? See below. Good thing I always wear safety glasses when I shoot as my face was just above the magazine well when I pulled the trigger! Wisdom does not necessarily follow age. David

.Thanks. 60+ years of shooting teaches you basic safety— old shooters, bold shooter, you know the expression

As a designer by trade (retired now) I can atest that most of the design effort went into making sure that Murphy never got any opportunity to have fun.
A typical comment in the engineering meetings was "how's Murphy?" The right answer was "He's a friend".

Dont make sense, isn’t once you loaded the pin probe is locked so air cannot escape from the probe side???
Did the first shot causes the mag to break or the loading causes it to break?

To be honest, I don’t know. I just felt a blast of air and (I think) a small piece of the mag Nick my cheek. I need to give Wyatt or Brian a call and walk through the sequence with them. David
