Authorities at scene of fire at Greenwood shooting range

[HoughMade]

Something tells me that a professional place like Point Blank wouldn't have a bunch of "range trash" powder laying around...

My vote is tracers

Vote?

Someone mentioned tracers, so it's tracers until proven otherwise...and then it's someone lying about it not being tracers. We've decided.

Has anyone mentioned the possibility of tracers?

Ok- I may be a bit s-l-o-w here but what is 'range trash' powder?

It was a filter from range HVAC that was severely overdue for replacement, that had so much restriction, that the belt started slipping causing it to catch fire which spread to the dirty filter that had was permeated with powder residue causing rapid fire spread to the rest of the unit. None of this is based in fact, I just wanted to distract everyone from the tracers.

Due to how well the ventilation works at that Point Blank location, I would seriously doubt if it was anything like the above. Don't know for a fact, but that location has great ventilation and maintains the place pretty well.

 

[HoughMade]

How did they get a tracer into the HVAC system?

 

[Itchytriggerfinger]

It was either tracers or too much Aqua Net. I dated a few south side girls with state fair hair so I have a little knowledge on the topic.

Probably tracers though. I met their brothers and they seem like the type.

Seems pretty dangerous to shoot tracers through someone's hairdo.

People.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

Occam's Razor is helpful here.

It was clearly anti-gun crusaders shooting at tannerite to make all of us look bad and deny us the opportunity to shoot at public indoor ranges and invite more regulation of guns, ranges, tannerite, and fire.

Open your eyes and smell the coffee.

It was clearly anti-gun crusaders shooting at tannerite...

..but with tracers, right?

Just to be in the safe side, I always aim a tad high.

I think that part is still open for reasonable people to disagree.

The rest of it is totally obvious. Literally.

I can't tell if this is supposed to be purple or not, but trust me when I say there is very little professional about the cleaning standards of that range or the maintenance of the ventilation system. It is all done to a bare minimum. There exists no formal cleaning standard at that store for disposing of unburnt powder. There have been small light-ups on the baffling and the rail system just a couple yards from the firing line because of how thick the accumulation has been. Coworkers and I used to line up unburnt powder at the ten-yard line and light it up just for fun because of how bad it would get, but it occurs to me now this actually would have been a good cleaning practice. This was an accident waiting to happen.

So . . . tracers?

At this point I don't think any reasonable person could disagree. Tracers ignited the range trash powder and the HVAC system after travelling through a beehive hairdo shellacked with Aqua Net.

It just feels good to be of service to the public sometimes.

I saw all those trucks last night. Wife's car had transmission issues, which I guess one of those fire trucks saw as one came to see if she was on fire. She wasn't.

 

[gmcttr]

... Wife's car had transmission issues...

Which was likely caused by someone shooting tracers outside since the range was closed.

So did she have tracers in the car?

Range Trash powder is the unburnt powder that collects in an indoor range from all the rounds fired. Tends to collect on the floor a little bit downrange of the firing line.

IV8888 coined the term.
