Quoted: Watched some videos of a friend chasing armadillos through a field with Ar in hand emptying mags. Ran outta ammo for the AR, swapped over to the Glock. The one shooting was the one filming, sighted the glock by looking through the viewfinder, way cool footage. Shot a .300 mag straight down into a pond and several small fish floated up. 400yd high wind shot on a uh...crow with a .308. Incredible (lucky) shot. Amateur war movies. Same friend used to go out with 5-8 people dressed up in fatigues and helmets. Once they got some explosives and did a cool creek scene. One guy was in the creek sneaking around and the explosion went off 40yds from him. He ran away firing while rounds where hitting behind him in the water. Not too smart but made for a cool video. And you wonder why some people want to ban guns? Poster boys for gun control, screwing it up for the rest of us. They'll probably end up in an HCI video, if not on the 6 o'clock news, at some point.

I watched a guy with a .30-30 lever action rifle with scope missing a 10x12 inch target at 50 feet about a dozen times. He was trying to put a hole in a Navy Chief Select's charge book. Being a Navy Chief I asked if I could help. I found that the screws that held the scope on were backed out about five turns each so the scope was able to flop around in the mount. Sad.
My first shot with my .22 LR pistol caught the laminated Master padlock in the keyhole breaking it into a hundred pieces. Once I watched six or eight guys open up with AR's on a pre-ban toilet [:D], another time I watched 25 or 30 guys open up on target with the name of a former member here printed on it. The funniest shooting would have to be watching the US Army shooting East German RPG-7's into a BMP out at Fort Irwin NTC. These guys fired rocket after rocket into the BMP from a distance of about 100 meters. Every time the warhead would either fail to go off at all or would impact the side, drop to the ground and then detonate some time later. I was trying to film a successful strike for a train film we were making. Finally there were but a couple rockets left in the crate so a guy takes aim at an old Russian T-54 sitting at the 300 meter line - first shot nails the thing picture perfect, the warhead explodes on cue ... but we had by then given up filming a successful hit. |

For the record, none of the things in the post were done by me. I never said they were smart, I said they made some cool videos. I would never fire a gun anywhere near a person unless I intended on killing that person in self defense, etc. Now that the person doing these things has grown up, he admits they did some stupid stuff when they were younger.

Funniest thing I ever saw at a range was this cocky, arrogant recent immigrant from Poland...kid who kept going on and on about how Russian Spetznaz were the best special forces in the world, yada yada yada, and seemed to think he knew everything about guns.
He had an Astra A100 9mm and told this other guy who had a Colt Gold Cup that he could outshoot him at 100 meters, handgun to handgun. Of course, the guy with the 9mm missed every single shot out of 16, while the guy with the old Gold Cup hit about 5 out of 7 shooting at a 2 liter bottle at 100 yards. |

If you want to have some fun Cypher214, be careful about mentioning it here. Some of these guys have no sense of humor. Just try not to be like that nutty guy in the "Jackal" who gets railed with the 25mm cannon.
I have a video of myself opening up on an old fax machine with the AR15. We were doing a recreation of the fax smashing scene from "Office Space". We decided not to stop with the fisticuffs and ended up shooting and blowing it up with gasoline. |

A member of this board and friend of mine once thought it would be funny to blast a dead carp that was about 12 feet from me. Thinking it would splatter me in carp frags, he unleashed a volley of .223s. Before I could recover from the carp fragging, I realized he was choking and gagging. Apparently, while firing he was laughing maniacly and a big chunk of dead carp flew right in his mouth and he gagged and swallowed it. To this day he can't live it down. I wish it was on tape.(Sap, don't mouth off or I'll tell'emm about the 20 gauge or the AK finger!)

I didn't witness the shooting, but I responded to the call. It went something like this. Two rent-a-cops confronted a guy trespassing in a subsidized housing project. They take him into the security office and call us and find out he has a warrant. While waiting for us to arrive he gets antsy and pulls out a .25 auto and they all start shooting and diving for cover in a 12' X 12' room. The first shot fired by the bad guy hits one of the security guards right in the center of the forehead but doesn't penetrate the bone. The are hiding behind the desk/chairs/filing cabinets blazing away and reloading, just holding the guns up and firing blindly. Finally the bad guy gives up as we arrive. It was really funny as hell to see all the bullet holes and empty casings and smell the air full of burnt powder. One guy literally shit himself.

In his defense, he was young when he did the "Carp Shoot." As for growing up, I doubt it. Okay, AK finger story... Member goes into pawn shop to look at gus. "oooh, lemme see AK!" "Hhmmmmm. I wonder if it has cleaning kit in buttstock?" Inserts finger in trap door. Too far. "AAAAAAHHHH! It's stuck!" Member tries to leave and go to hospital, Pawn shop guys disassemble buttplate and free embarrased member. Maybe he would like to tell about "Affixed Bayonets".

My wife and I had a little parakeet we named Jones. He was a bit of a runt, and had some crazy habits. Anyway, I had a little Crossman air/dart gun that I got at Walmart for $19 with target. It is pretty fun for shooting inside at dartboards and stuff. The little bolts are pretty harmless, but will break the skin.
I was practicing turning corners and taking shots. I had set the target up behind Jones and figured I would never hit him. Well, I cleared the corner, drew, and fired in about .3 seconds and Jones jumped a foot in the air at the shot, took the bolt in the abdomen, and fell straight to the floor. He only had a small wound, and I cleaned it out with Listerine. He was fine after that. |

One cold saturday in December,myself and a couple other guys witnessed a fellow taking aim at the primer end of a 50cal blank with a 9mm.The range he was attempting was approx. 10ft so we was'nt too worried about his success.On his third shot,to our surprise,he hit the base of the blank round and it falls to the ground about 3ft.from the point of impact.About 2seconds later,the blank starts hissing and takes off like a rocket and the shooter is rolling on the groung holding the side of his head.We never found the "rocket" but,the IDIOT that shot it has about a 1" wide gash down the side of his head.

I heard from a friend about somebody they knew who shot himself on 2 seperate occassions. Both times he shot himself in the leg. One time the left the other time the right. I really wish I knew the events surrounding it, but from waht I heard he was an idiot who was trying to look cool.

Funniest incident I've ever heard anyone admit to:
A forever-to-be-nameless relative, in his college days, like to practice quick draws from a mexican (inside-the-waistband) carry with a black-powder .44. One hot day the hammer got too sweaty and his thumb slipped before he cleared his pants.... he had to tie his shirt around his waist before driving to the emergency room. Apparently he still has black powder granules under his skin. Found out about this when, after several bottles of wine, his wife started ribbing him about "that notch in your gun." He did go on to father three boys, who all know better. Funniest personal experience: Coupla years back, I was shooting at a crowded indoor range here, mostly yahoos who were hitting everything but the target. I got the Number One lane (next to the concrete wall) and was glad to avoid the flying brass. A few minutes into my shooting, I felt what I thought was my own brass bounce off my right side. I ignored it, finished the clip and turned to my buddy in the next lane .... who was looking in horror at a growing blood stain on my shirt. A quick inspection found a section of jacketing had bounced off the wall and caught me square on a rib and stuck there. I pulled it out and went in search of a bandaid. The funny part was the range owner''s reaction: "Got a bandaid?" "Somewhere here ... had a slide bite ya?" "Nah, I got shot in the side." He turned white as a sheet. He let me shoot for free after that. |

Okay, I might as well add to this...
My 4th (and unfortunately not the last year) of college, I took a friend shooting during the summer semester. It was my first firearm, a Mitchell Arms AK-22. It was also John's first time firing a weapon and he had a blast. Towards the end of the summer session, I'm walking back to my apartment when John greets me outside the apartment, speaking rapidly and excitedly. "No one was around and I got stir crazy, so I laid a bullet on the ground and swung at it with a golf club, and it went BANG" he explains. I asked him if he was kidding and he says no, he's serious. We start walking towards the apartment when I ask him where this happened. "Inside" he says. "Inside?!?! On the carpet? What were you thinking?" At this point I'm expecting to find a burn mark on the carpet and a hole in the wall. "I was going stir crazy and swung at a bullet with a golf club. It went bang, then I dropped the club and checked myself for holes" he says, showing me the remains of the cartridge. It was one of my CCI Stingers, ruptured in the middle. And sure enough, there was a crease right across the rim. "Where did you have it pointed?" I asked. "Over there, towards the kitchen," he points, right at the refrigerator. Oh shit. I walked towards the fridge expecting to find a hole in the door but didn't. In fact, we didn't find the rest of the cartridge or the bullet. |

Quoted: That is the stupidest thing I have heard anyone do. Unfortunately, it's not the stupidest thing I've seen or heard of. We've probably heard of really truly stupid stuff on the Darwin Awards, but in terms of first hand experience, one childhood friend stands out: Eric, who fancied himself a young Evel Knievel by jumping his bicycle and skateboard, hears about how mineral spirits will burn on your skin for a while without roasting your skin. Not willing to waste perfectly good booze (he was 15 y/o), Eric decided to try this with glow plug fuel. We get setup, Eric has the glow plug fuel, I have the garden hose, and another kid has matches. It's a sunny day so when the match ignites the fuel, we can hardly see the flame. Eric turns his hand over once or twice before I doused the nearly invisible flames. Except for the lack of hair, his hand is fine. Cool! Eric wants to try it again. The other kid strikes a match and Eric starts flailing his hand around. But this time he's waving his hand around so much, I can't quite douse it with the garden hose. I finally extinguish the flames but not before he suffers some 1st degree burns in a couple of spots. Now he has to try and hide it from his mother. Oops. P.S. That's just one Eric story........ |

This thread reminded me of some dumbass a City Officer picked up a few weeks back, we met up with the officer at the county jail and saw this suspect... Seems that this DIQ (dumbass in question) was showing all his homeys his sweet new pistol and plinking at streetlights... When the 5-0 rolled around the corner he tried to shove the gun into his waistband to hide it and shot himself thru the left pinky finger and left outer thigh with his little .22lr revolver. We made endless fun of this guy... We've had a rash of shootings in this town since April and we're trying to figure out does this count as a shooting?
