johnp 45 Posted June 3, 2013 I found this video and was WOWed by this mans stupidity, so I had to share it. And also to inform those unfamiliar with hangfires how to react. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iGzCXsU7YU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acuevo 0 Posted June 3, 2013 hasn't he ever seen looney toons? when elmer fudd looks down the barrel and then BLAM! true stupidity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin .50 1,907 Posted June 3, 2013 This one has made the circuit previously, but always good as a retread for the Newbies! Moral to the story is patience with a hang-fire, then unload the gun and inspect for light hit/no hit on the primer. If she no go BANG, keep gun pointed down range, no matter what type of gun it is. One LUCKY Dude, who probably SH!T his pants! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raz-0 1,259 Posted June 3, 2013 *sigh* was there ever a problem with a gun that was fixed by staring down the barrel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handyman 5,682 Posted June 3, 2013 I now believe in guardian angels. That gun moves about an inch before it goes off. But seriously, how effing dumb do you have to be to look down the barrel of a weapon? Really? This guy should have a mandatory vasectomy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TK421 2 Posted June 3, 2013 This has been around for a very long time. A new hat and new underwear are in order. This could have been very bad and shows why experienced people tell you to leave your gun pointed down range on a misfire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,437 Posted June 3, 2013 Question: You hear him rerack after the initial hangfire.. basically: boom - chickchick - boom - chickchick - click - chickchick - click - *stares down barrel* - Boom Wouldn't the rerack in between the two misfire eject the bad round?

10X 3,306 Posted June 3, 2013 He's got a nasty flinch--evident when the round doesn't fire--but that's probably the least of his problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did rerack, but I didn't see anything fly out like on the previous rackings. Could be that his shotgun is dirty or malfunctioning(which I would expect from this idiot) and needs the firing of the round to seat it in the ejector. Or the whole video is a spoof.

Normally I would say, "Yes", but since the video is rather pixelated, it's hard for me to see the first bad round being ejected onto the ground. He could have short-stroked it, restroked it, and then hang-fire, OR--more than one bad round from a box of mis-manufactured or mis-stored shells! You can get a hang-fire from shells that we in a flood, for instance. Either way, he's a DUMBASS! And a LUCKY one at that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted June 3, 2013 D'oh! That's gonna leave a mark. Seriously though, why didn't the guy shooting the video yell at him to put the gun down? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krdshrk 3,878 Posted June 3, 2013 D'oh! That's gonna leave a mark. Seriously though, why didn't the guy shooting the video yell at him to put the gun down? Do you see how steady the video is? He's most likely got it mounted on a tripod. I doubt there's a cameraperson. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
