A high-powered rifle was exploding over and over in the dark woods.

The horned buck jumped, startled, just as Marx's rifle exploded.

Then the rifle exploded and I heard the bullet strike.

That man's rifle exploded when the flames hit it.

He had intended to continue shooting but when he fired his 25th bullet the old rifle exploded, making it useless.

The second guard's rifle literally exploded in his face.

He was still wondering, when a rifle exploded very near to him, behind his back.

The rifle exploded, the bullet clapped, and the buck sprang forward faster than ever.

He was lucky the rifle hadn't exploded in his face when he had fired.

The rifle exploded, and the heifer fell dead, shot through the heart.
