I can't recall ever misloading an M4 or later (oops, I forgot about the time I put the bottom plate back on before checking that the back was properly in place - lost a few shots there). However, I sometimes still misload my Nikons, Canons etc. and dare I mention the Hasselcrunch?? If you misload one of those, it is _REALLY_ misloaded. Fotunately the newer ElectroNikons and Canons complain to you if they have been misloaded, so you lose time, but not shots that you think you got initially. Loading an M4 to 6 is foolproof, except that as everyone know, making something foolproof is a near impossibility, as fools are so ingenious ;-). * Henning J.
