Scary training video

[tt11758]

This showed up on the survival podcast as well. It is a stupid stunt for the photographer, and most of us would walk away from the line.

Some of the folks involved in military operations did note that firing in real-life situations can only be trained for by using real people downrange, with shooters who are highly skilled and trained as well. Seems reasonable, although I have only played an operator in my mind.

That does not excuse Tactical Response for doing this in what appears to be a fairly normal "shoot the ordinary target downrange" situation to get "cool" pictures. The owner of Tactical Response who also frequents and is a sponsor of the survival podcast has not come forward with an explanation as of this morning.

Walk, hell!!  You'd hear me saying, "Lord please get me as far away from here as I can possibly get, as fast as I can possibly get there, before this thing REALLY goes south!!"

 The guy on the left hand target also had his finger on the trigger while he was aimlessly wandering around.
These people are fools.

Hey, they missed!

The photographer has faith in the ability of the shooters!!!! Unsafe, period but he had to get the "shot".  No pun intended.

I don't care how close the target was. He was/is an imbessil (also from Bugs Bunny). Personally, I would NOT have participated if I was the closest to this guy.

A digi camera on a tripod, connected to a laptop, BEHIND THE LINE!

Range Officer dropped the ball.

I'll bet Rob P. or USSA wouldn;t go for that crap...

I can tell you right now that we ALWAYS stay away from the shooters while filming. Marshal.. Michael ,Eric Lund or any professional would have you ordered off the range FOREVER if that even began to happen. I don't care if you were the shooter..the photographer or the instructor..
 You would be gone as gone could get if you did this or permitted it to happen.

What a bunch of frickin stupid idiots!
