Airgun accidents
Published: July 2nd, 2008
PCPs run on air, but the hospital employee had access to tanks of oxygen. Oxygen is like air, isn’t it?
The result: a blow torch 😀
Lots more accidents here.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

the hospital employee is a real stupid man!
the oxigen is flammable & explosive gas.
and these particular characteristics must be known in ambient hospital workers....
The oil or grease in the gun & Oxygen are also not a happy mix, all screw threads for O2 cylinders must be grease free as O2 under pressure will heat up the grease, which may well then catch fire &/or explode in a O2 rich environment, which I suspect is what happened here.
