50cal used to shoot a melon off a man's head: reckless endangerment?

I was sent a video of a man who says "we are here in Mississippi and Hunter(supposedly the name of the shooter) sent me an email offering to shoot a watermelon off of my head with a .50 BMG..." They then proceed to do just that. I believe this is the kind of negative publicity that the firearms community does NOT need. I am curious to see if anyone on msgunowners recognizes the individuals in this video? If you would like to take a look at this video I have it as a windows media file; send me a PM and I will send you the file. If you do and know where they are I would like to see what the local law enforcement in their community think about this. This is extremely dangerous and irresponsible.

PM sent with email address ...

The shock from the round hitting the mellon might split his mellon haha..
I do believe we have found the next possilbe darwin award winner!!!!

sent you the video from my Yahoo account, captain!

If its the one I've seen, its a fake.

Can't access youtube right now, I am at w*rk. I received it as a wmv type file, not a link to youtube. Of course that doesn't mean it isn't fake. If you send me your email address I can send you the file, and you can see if it's the fake one...

OK -- viewed the video sent to me by Scharfschuetze and reviewed the one above -- same two guys in same location!!

Solved - FAKE!

BTW: They did say they were from Mississippi -- I did not recognize them or the shooting location ...

Thanks guys. I watched it at least 5 times. What tipped y'all off that it was fake? What am I missing?

Wait, I think I see it - when he unloads the rifle, it looks like an unfired round on the bolt - ?

Lol Yeah it's a fake.. the dude with a mellon on his head, he's a film maker. He does all kinds of videos with pretty cool FX stuff using airsoft guns and what not. Freddie Woo is the guys name I think. I don't know who the supposed sniper is or if they were actually in Mississippi. It's movie magic

He actually has another video showing how the original video was made!!

And I value my time too much to look at any more of this Gauner's Scheisse.
Someone should do a REAL Wilhelm Tell on this Gauner...

Sorry I wasted everyone's time on this.
Bad behavior in public with firearms is a pet peeve of mine, and this hit a nerve.
