Jun 11 2008Darwinism At Work: How Not To Shoot A Gun

wooooooooooooow dude I love you but is this like your first day on the internet since 2005?

fake

The one way back at 0:13 had me lolling.

I like how the one on the end shot the camera man lol

also FIRST

Rent A Cops. all of them

I am a beautiful policewoman from US.. it is very hard to meet friends and lover in the real world because of my job. so i came here. i just uploaded my hottest photos under nicolebaby on http://www.BlackMatching.com the best of its kind in the world, maybe you want to check them out.

oh man. that made my day.

First of all, I can't believe no one is gonna take down that SPAM at number 6... secondly... this video is why I don't like to go to the range on a crowded day. It scares the crap out of me that these people are out there.

I think this is one of the first viral videos to ever hit the net. It was huge because we had just gone entered the war on terrorism full force and the guy looks middle eastern so everyone ate it up. I remember watching it in middle school. I'm 21 now.

I know one of those people. I was there that day.

Dude your f***ing funny...power 2 ya!

This has been my favorite video on the internet since I was 16. Ahchk mhhk mahhck!

"I've seriously never seen so many people who shouldn't breed in a single 1:13 video before"

Watch a minute and thirteen seconds of The Hills or Tila Tequila's show. Those folks have some gene pools that should be allowed to dry up.

i highly agree, hilarious. and most reality TV shows have some pretty stupid people on them.

You realize that most of the people whose gun launched from their hands were shooting very large caliber rounds. It's not their fault that they have weak girly hands :3

OH MY GOD
This is sooooo old!
I saw this on the web in 1998 or 99 so it´s ancient.

I think it's funny the way many of the people were holding the guns. I'm not even close to being a gun whiz, but I do remember the small bit my step-dad told me. (He was a gun enthusiast & a sargent in the military.) One day he took my sisters & I out to a friend's house in the woods, where he taught us the right ways to hold guns. He said to never underestimate the recoil power of a gun, no matter how small it was. He also told us that different ammo makes the recoil more powerful as well.

I remember trying to hold a rifle in some of the same ways that some of the people in the vid were & he got sorta angry. He told me that holding it wrong (like putting it against your shoulder) can result in a broken shoulder. He also told me that half of the ways you see people holding guns in the movies is crap since those poses would end up with scenarios much like in this vid.

Guns are stupid. 90% of people with them shouldn't have them.

"Guns are stupid"

@18, you should be a writer. How do you come up with this stuff?

I shot many type of rifles and assault rifles before.. the kickback isn't that strong.. just have to hold it properly.

All I can say is this:
Recoil is a bitch.

And shooting a rifle with the butt right up against your shoulder will result in something being broken, or at least bruised. Silly people.
Oh, @18, there are no stupid guns, only stupid people.

Ummmm, I'm kind of confused. I've been shooting for a few years now, mostly hand guns though. Call me crazy, you won't be the first, but if you don't put the butt of the rifle or shotgun firmly into your shoulder (between the armpit and the clavicle), where do you put it? I know from personal experience you want it in contact with something, or instead of your body absorbing the shock throughout, the gun becomes a battering ram. I've personally seen a 12 year old boy dislocate his shoulder when firing a 10 guage shotgun from holding the butt an inch in front of his shoulder. Granted, the Dad probably shouldn't have let his 12 year old son fire a 10 guage, but oh well.

Are the people who are saying you shouldn't have the butt against your shoulder wrong, or have I been firing safely all these years with large caliber rifles without injury because I'm freaking superman?

@22.... maybe the folks that are saying to not put the butt of the rifle into your shoulder mean actually on the shoulder bone. You should always place a rifle stock into the "pocket" between the actual shoulder bone and your collar bone (clavicle).
I have been firing guns for YEARS, both in the military (Ooh-Rah) and out, so yes you are right. AND if I am interpereting the previous posts correctly, they are right also...

But off of that subject... FREAKING FUNNY TO SEE THE JACKASSERY OF THOSE PEOPLE ON THE VIDEO.

If you notice in the video, the cock juggling thunder cunts are holding the rifle right on the bone. That is asshattery.

Moral of the story, hold it against fleshy, squishy places...not bones.

I suppose I should have typed that first instead of having to post a second time. Besides, I've been wanting to use "cock juggling thunder cunt" for awhile now. Was it necessary? No. Was it fun? Oh yea.

My first experience was at the age of 9 with a 10 gauge full choke shotgun. It wouldn't have mattered if I had an air bag on my shoulder.

However, soon I was killing all sorts of forest creatures with glee....and eating them, LOLOLOL!

@18

I strongly disagree.
Case en point: http://www.mizzoumuleguns.com/id37.html

speaking of things bot to do with guns...

Ow! That's why I love the M16: no kick! (Or, very little.) I know it's not the most powerful rifle in the world, but my shoulder never hurt after a day of firing! (I mean, even if you're holding the rifle properly, with that much kick? You're going to be hurting at the end of the day!)

the arab dude thinks is funny. AND THIS IS SO NOT FUNNY.

the arab dude thinks is funny. AND THIS IS SO NOT FUNNY. Guns really kill people.

actually guns do not kill people, people kill people...

The guy dressed in white must have been the class clown of the Terrorist Training Camp.
The ending of the video: That sucks...a lot. It looked like one of those women were firing a .44 magnum, and it hit her forehead. Now why would anyone use a hand-cannon improperly?

#15: yes, they were high caliber rounds, and they shouldn't be allowed to shoot them if they don't fully understand the concept of "recoil"

#19: hahaha

#'s 22 & 24 are correct.
'nuff said.

Okay, retards.

A particular rifle is in this video that cannot be fired by ANYONE, regardless of size or grip.

A these parts in the video: 18, 23, 30, 38, 53, and 59.

The rifle being used is a Tyrannosaur. It's a last-ditch defense weapon for people on safari if they get charged by an elephant or a rhino or something they shouldn't have even been near.

The gun fires a "70 neck down to 50" bullet. Meaning it fires a .50 caliber bullet out of an enormous shell, the equivalent of which would be an insane .70 caliber round.

It will knock a prize fighter, a Marine, or the world's fattest man right on his ass, regardless of how he holds it. And that's assuming it doesn't fly out of his hands first.

I know more than all of you on this subject.

Ahhh. Thanks 32. It's good to see someone identify that weapon. I figured it was something like a .460 Weatherby Magnum, and had never heard of the Tyrannosaur. Pretty wild. I guess if you are in trouble with an elephant, a damaged shoulder is preferable to death. Sure as heck can't outrun one.

My experience with shooting started in Cub Scouts with pellet rifles. In Boy Scouts, the father who ran the .22 rifle range at summer camp was a Marine Staff Sergeant. and probably kicked 25% of the kids off the range for horseplay or inattentiveness. The rest of us figured out that he meant business, and once he had a core of responsible kids and had instilled the proper safety habits, he started games (set out a penny against the dirt and try to put a hole in the middle of it for a self-made souvenir) and competitions (take a used target and roll it into the shape of a cigarette and stick it in the top of a log and try to shoot it in half) and we had a lot of fun while still being safe. I ended up with a penny that was dented on its rim, and a dime (could see it a lot better than a copper colored target against a background of dirt!!) with a hole right in the center.

I was very good with a rifle, but slightly bored. A friend of my father is a pistol shooter, and offered to teach me the much more difficult discipline of pistol competition. I started with a .22 pistol, even though I was 19 and strong. As I progressed, I used more powerful weapons and had no problems with them whatsoever because I developed good shooting habits Those shooting habits got me to the International Revolver Championships one year. For my money, pistol speed events are the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

When I entered the military after 10 years of competitive shooting, I shot expert my first try and then was quickly tapped to help teach. Introducing people to firearms is not a joke. Showing people the proper techniques and building good habits is important not only for their enjoyment of the activity, but also for the safety of all people nearby. Instruction, wherever possible, should be one-on-one. I was at a shotgun range where a father was showing his sons how to shoot. One of his boys picked up a shotgun because his brother was done with his shoot, but had not yet vacated the shooter's box, and accidentally shot the ground about 5 feet in front of himself. If the weapon was aimed about 40° to the kids right, he could have shot his brother in the back of the legs. The people I was with looked at each other and then we packed up and headed for another section of the range to leave them alone at a safe distance. When I participated in large competitions, the learners, badly trained, and nutjobs are thankfully absent and you can really have FUN. Take the International Revolver Championships for example: There are usually around 9 courses on which you compete with a minimum number of rounds fired being around 360. The way you transport your weapon and ammunition from one stage to another is on your weapon belt and in an ammo can you drag around. Your weapon, holster and speed loaders are on you constantly. The only place where you can handle your weapon is when you are ready to compete or at a special table for maintenance and between-match cleaning that is right in front of a large earthen berm. You never load your weapon except when a rangemaster tells you to. If you are told to load, and you open your weapon and there is still ammo in it from your previous stage, you are disqualified. If you fail to cease fire when told by ANYONE, you are disqualified. Drop a loaded weapon and you are disqualified. An accidental discharge (AD) is a disqualification. Disqualification comes without a refund. If you want to have fun, safety has to be an unbreakable habit, and everybody has to look out for everybody else. Same as the rule that if anybody yells, "cease fire" that you do it.

The year I was there, there were no ADs. In all my shooting, I've never had an AD myself, ever. I've watched other shooters slip while running from one section of a stage to another and still manage to keep the gun pointed downrange and not have an AD because they took their finger out of the trigger guard before moving. I've had two machineguns malfunction when I was handling them, but because of good habits (trigger finger never goes near the trigger until you are ready to fire & keep the safety on until the weapon is pointed downrange) all the spray hit paper. Okay–not in the center, but gimme a break–it was a little bit of a surprise to have something go full-auto, the first when I took the safety off and the second was an SKS that wasn't actually supposed to be a machinegun!

At local events, where new competitors start, many are reprimanded a couple of times on safety before being told, "Don't come back." One guy even argued, "But I'm a cop!" The other shooters who had seen the way he handled his weapon weren't impressed, and wouldn't have wanted to be the guy's partner.

When the joker handed a big pistol (Desert Eagle .44 or .50AE I think) to a wimpy armed person, of course she's going to have trouble. I just wish it had flown out of her hand and landed on a nearby rock instead of hitting herself with it. Then the owner might think twice in the future before doing something mean like that. If I was a lawyer, I figure I could make a case for assault charges against the guy who handed it to her.

If you want to have fun with recoil amongst experienced shooters, then play a game called "skip-firing." Someone loads a revolver, a .357 Magnum is a good place to start, with two used shells, two rounds of .38 Special, and 2 rounds of .357 Magnum, in random order. The four live rounds are shot for score at a standard target at 25 yards, and the two previously fired rounds are for laughs. If the person has good habits, then when the hammer falls on the spent cartridges, the gun will not move. Everyone watching will go "Oooooh!" and the shooter can smile proudly. If they flinch, it will be obvious and everyone can tease it out of them ;-)

To play "Skip Firing" with a new shooter, just put in 3 .38 Special rounds and 3 spent cartridges in random order and just remind them to not flinch. Don't tease yet, and don't give somebody more gun than they can handle. The life you save could be your own. With good habits will come skill and enjoyment.

No, there's no way to skip fire with an automatic. That's why, no matter how many semi-autos you have, every shooting enthusiast should have a revolver like a GP-100 or SW-686.

Stay safe and have fun!

THANK YOU 32! by around 19 I had almost given up hope on seeing that anyone ACTUALLY KNEW SHIT about the gun.
