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.

Lesson learned- if its your favorite hat, dont take it shooting!

hasn't he ever seen looney toons? when elmer fudd looks down the barrel and then BLAM!

 

true stupidity.

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!

*sigh*

 

was there ever a problem with a gun that was fixed by staring down the barrel? 

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.

*sigh*

+1000!

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.

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?

wow, just wow

He's got a nasty flinch--evident when the round doesn't fire--but that's probably the least of his problems.

Ahhh, that'll buff right out.

Dumb

WOW, just WOW!

Just rub some dirt on it..

Ahhh, that'll buff right out.

ROFL!

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!

Some people see the light at the end of this tunnel, this bozo went looking for it.

WOW

 

Proof that people lose 40-50 IQ points just by picking up a firearm...

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?

+1 Although he probably couldn't believe what he was seeing.

D'oh!  That's gonna leave a mark.

Do you see how steady the video is?  He's most likely got it mounted on a tripod.  I doubt there's a cameraperson.
