I capsized with two buddies in six fathoms an hour before daylight in a bad spot 300 metres from shore in howling snow squalls just before Christmas six years ago and an A-5 was among guns that went to the North Atlantic bottom.

After a couple unsuccessful diving attempts because of bad weather and currents, I retrieved my SW and the A-5 covered in orange rust and slub. My buddy loaded three in the A-5 and it worked perfectly.
