One thing I do have to complain about is the camera work. I never like looking down the barrel.

Okay...shootin' a baloon through a bent pipe is just cool. 8)

Cutting the flame off three candles is pretty slick, too.

During WWII the Germans developed an attachment for the StG 44 that had a 90 degree bend in the barrel for shooting around corners during street fighting using prismatic sights it was reported to actualy be fairly accurate.

Actually, it was developed for the Elefant SPG which did not have good self-defense capabilities. When overruning an Elefant, the Russkies would swarm on the gun trying to breach the hatches. So the STG-44 was developed so they could stick the barrel out and sweep the deck of the SPG with auto fire.
Tends to shatter the bullets though, although at short ranges that's just more shrapnel.

I had that same reaction, very bad gun safety lesson. They should have had a disclaimer, although I would have laughed at that too. The NRA show's "remote camera" disclaimer always gets at least a snort now.

I had to go to work early and SOMEONE I LOVE unchecked my DVR! :(But I have seen it before and it is Awesome!

There were also a few with a 45 degree angle, but 90 degree was found to be more practicle.

Just bumped this up in case there are those out there who have not seen it.
