I'll stick with my local Machinegun shoots(ask nicely and I'll share the pictures)

I know of four people who have died at Knob Creek, the girl was 13 and had finished firing the homemade triple minigun mount (owned by a family friend to make it even worse). The weapons were ammo dry, but still rotating when she got up, the mount collapsed and a corner of the frame struck her in the head, killing her instantly. Cause of the accident, a sheered bolt caused by metal fatigue...
The other three people were campers who used a Coleman heater inside their camper during a cold spurt and suffocated from the fumes.
Friends who have attended Knob Creek over the years have told me that the range has really cracked down on safety over the years.
