[Larain60 1]

[Malsua 1,422]

That's simply stupid and potentially fatal. Who is running this event and why would they allow it?

 

I would refuse to participate. If the guy gets shot, ALL the firearms are going to get confiscated.

 

Even blanks can be fatal at that distance if there is any debris ejected.

[tbtrout 141]

There is no way in hell I would do that.

[kenw 293]

That's suicidal. One little slip and he's gone. It should never have been allowed.

My sentiments exactly.. What a maroon :shock:

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot....frightening that that big of a group would all buy into that stupidity. If I was at a range/in a course and I saw that going down I'd be screaming my head off at the R.O./instructor/administrators.

I don't know if that's dumb or stupid. I was waiting to whole time for him to get shot or hit by a fragment. I guess I'll go with stupid.

[Maksim 1,504]

are these guys at least military or marksmen? hehe.

[SpecialK 193]

us military men do a lot of stupid things :mrgreen: , but not with our weapons. I don't know a single military man that would be willing to participate in that.

Amazing!! :shock:

I've seen this film before................Dumb and Dumber

[Blackfox 1]

He is a cold blooded mental retarded. I can't believe the guys started shooting.

If I'm not mistaken, that's Jay Gibson from Tactical Response. They actually come to Jersey about once a year to teach pistol or carbine classes. They must really trust their students :roll:

As a vet and as a professional photographer, there's no way i'd do that. Too many chances for an accident. Wireless remotes cost less than $20, so why risk it?

 

You can actually get the camera with tripod to get more dangerous angles since it takes up less space. Purely stupid.

Just to add a little fuel to the fire (yeah, I'm bored at work), anyone that has looked into Tactical Response for training probably knows that what they focus on is "fighting with a gun", as opposed to learning to use a gun. So, what does this mean? Well, in a nutshell, "gunfights" don't happen in a square range where you have 2 walls on either side of you and where you can only move your firearm 15 degrees in either direction. I'm not sharing my opinion here, just stating the type of training TR offers isn't NRA style training.

Furthermore, if you really think about it, what firearms rules are being broken here? Their muzzles aren't pointed at the cameraman... just near him... :shock:

 

This clearly wasn't a SMART thing to do on the instructor/cameraman's part - but i've seen people at the "square range" do far worse when they weren't paying attention.

 

Anyway, I will put on my fire-retardant pajamas now - flame away :twisted:

lol. you just had to.

 

Actually, no matter what training this is... I just think the camera guy is gambling with his life. One poorly placed shot.... or over squeezed trigger, and he is done.

Like I said, I was bored at work But I agree with you (and almost everyone else in this thread) - it just wasn't a smart thing to do, especially with students that are CLEARLY inexperienced.

 

This video has also shown up on a bunch of other firearms forums I visit (including GOTX, Tactical Response's forum) and the comments have been quite interesting LOL

[Chad 3]

Do they teach firearm safety?

 

Note to self: Don't use them for firearm training. They have gotten one of the top golden rules wrong.

He's a bee sting, sneeze or a seizure/CVA away from dying.

[The_Matrix 105]

All the shooters are noobs. I can tell from the direction that they pointed their pistols. Very dangerous and inexperienced group. The camera man is crazy!!!

and this could be another reason for limited(no) ccwp in the state, dangerous and stupid
