Funny you mention it--yesterday I witnessed a shooting in my neighborhood (guy got hit with 45 acp at point blank and took off running faster than a deer!) and in the excitement I accidentally knocked my Lee balance beam hard enough to dislodge the plastic cheapo beam off which snapped on impact when it hit the floor.
