Those are good! One quiet night one of the guys that USED to work with us was in a guard shack and decided to quick draw and kill his reflection in the large picture type window at the rear of the shack. He unloaded his sidearm and holstered his weapon. This guy was really bored. Well, he drilled his reflection dead center, narrowly missing several of us that were outside the window. Yep, he unknownly still had one in his weapon. Gunfire inside a concrete block guard shack is pretty loud, too. Ask him, if you see him. We haven't seen him since. He's a great big Texan with a permanent wide eyed look and his ears ring constantly. He should have had printed instructions on his weapon and on the window, I guess.
