I was 18 and hunting with an old two pipe with hammers. The gun had seen a lot of work and was carried by the ‘pig boy’ who would shoot the pigs out of the maze at night. It’s was an African classic in that the barrels which were starting to splay apart were bound together with old bicycle tube rubber.
Anyway I digress...
I had shot a rabbit and as I walked up to it it came to life and proceeded to kick in circles while on it’s side. With perfect timing I butt stroked the rabbit as it passed my feet picked it up and put it in the truck.
When I unloaded a short time after I noticed the second shot shell had a dent in the primer. When I tested the weapon it was apparent the non cocked hammer would in the process of butt stroking fly forward and hit the primer of any shell in the chamber. I was lucky that day!
