What a total idiot. Some people you just can't help. That is the most idiotic thing I have ever seen.

I don't understand why?

Why?!?! What did he think looking down the barrel would help anyway?
Idiot!

word going around other forums is this is fake

I've always been warned about "hang fires" but have never seen evidence of one. Anyone else?

Fake or not. Good reminder

I had a hang fire in my Garand one time with reloads. Squeeze trigger, hear the hammer hit, holding on target and then boom. Seemed like forever but it prolly only took half a second.

Always tried to anticipate things like that and be prepared.

Darn - it he missed!

Fake

I say the vid is

too bad He did not put it in his mouth...He doesn't need to reproduce

I at first thought "Man, what a moron", then after looking at it several times it appears that his hat comes off well before the gun fires and the hat seems to be pulled back by a string. I say fake, but like someone said, still a good reminder. However, no one needs to remind me not to look down the barrel of a gun whether loaded or even if I am 100% sure its not.

Even if that one's fake, there are still some real winners out there. Here's another moron for ya.

at 16 years old i lost my best friend to an unloaded weapon and looking down the barrel. the fool that was cleaning the gun pulled the trigger. i only look down the barrel when i have them torn apart for cleaning and nervous then. all because you cant fix stupid

WHen I was 12 years old me and my 13 year old cousin Mike (They called him Big Mike because ay 13 he was 5'10 and weighed nearly 300 lbs) got into a fight. Later that day I saw him coming down the alley. My father kept a 12 gauge Mossberg in the kitchen. I grabbed it, went out back, leaned it up against the fence, had it pointed straight at him with my finger on the trigger. He was about 50 feet away. I wanted to scare him. He didnt see me and kept coming down the alley towards my back yard. I ran back into the house. When I got in the back door, I opened the bolt and a shell flew out. It was loaded, had 3 rounds in it. I dont know what kept me from pulling that trigger other than God had other plans for me. But I had my finger on the trigger and was within a 1/4 inch of killing my 13 year old cousin. It gives me chills every time I think about it, to this day. Since then, I have been extra, extra, careful with firearms.

This might come in 2nd-


ATF must stand for 'All Time Fool'?

I almost shot my uncle in the back hunting. I was using a 44 Mag Lever action. I shot once and cycled the lever. I went to lower the hammer, when it slipped. He slowly turned around and gave me that look. He never raised his voice, but I knew I screwed up. I was about 14 at the time.

I had a hangfire with an 870 while duck hunting last year. Pull the trigger and click. I automatically shucked a new one in, and the shelled that clicked went off outside of the reciever. Could have been bad.
