Title: Gun FAIL Video Montage
Post by: PegLeg45 on October 04, 2013, 03:57:58 PM
Some of these I have seen, some I had not.

All show the danger of idiots with guns more than the humor that was probably intended........ I hope the guy at around the 4:50 minute mark lived to regret his carelessness.

Some real classics in there and a few I haven't seen. I like it.

I've been hit in the face with the scope before.  Thankfully wasn't nearly as dramatic as any of these and now one was around to film it.

Me too, TAB.

Some of those shooters looked pretty new to shooting...and getting hit in the face with the gun or knocked on your butt with a bruised shoulder isn't going to create a positive first impression.

Also, time after time I see a newbie to auto or semi-auto weapons accidentally shoot off half a magazine as the recoil pushes them back..

Even with a Mark II, when I am teaching a new shooter, they shoot with one round in the magazine until I know they are used to it and are practicing safe gun  handling....

Sick and stupid people out there.

yep, always start them of with one round, then 2.  Etc etc.    personally giving some one a gun they can't handle( unless they really really ask for it)  too shot is always a bad deal.     ps, in college a guy I know kept putting 2 fingers on twin trigger shot guns, he was warned about it dozens of times.  One day he ask if he could shoot my 10 ga sxs with two triggers.   i warned him, but knew he was going to be hurting.  It broke his coller bone.  I felt awful, i figured it would just hurt like a sob and leave a multicolored bruise.

I didn't mind seeing the ragheads vaporize or the kid with the Browning demonstrate the folly of giving a little kid a loaded gun, but I didn't see any funny in this..
Maybe I'm losing my sense of humor..

All those shots at the end are from;

Most likely they are firing the .577 T-Rex

Remind me if I go to take several Dr. Sholes gel inserts and put inside my shooting vest.

I was at a sniper competition over the summer and at one of the night events, my weapon mounted night vision failed. I had to switch to a head mounted unit for the remainder of the event. Because of this I was scope bit every time I fired. Unfortunately, there was nothing else I could do, besides forfeit the event. Result: 8th place in the event, black eye for 3 days after. Lesson learned: Make damn sure your batteries are charged, or at least interchangeable. That was our fatal flaw. The weapon mounted took AAA while our head mounted took Surefires.
