## Narrative

The shroud covering the high pressure hose connected to the shotgun prevented adequate inspection of high pressure hose.  The hose guide on the shoulder stock was rubbing and vibrating on hose and shroud creating a weak point in the hose which lead to the rupturing of the high pressure hose on the right side of the chest causing a 1 inch laceration.
