Let me preface this with a statement -
I am a competitive marksman, avid re-loader, and a hunter volunteering as range-safety officer for at least one hunters' safety course per year.
I am pro gun, pro any type of gun ownership, and completely opposed to registration of any type for any type of firearm.
None of that, for a moment, should make anyone think we're friends just because they 'like to play with guns' and in fact, if I could, I'd be reddening asses coast-to-coast for being so stupid and bringing so much negative attention to shooting sports and gun owners...
Without further adieu, here are two of the stupidest gun tricks on the internet this week and two other accidents we all can learn from.
Opening a beer with a shotgun (video).
This kid has no idea the forces he's dealing with.
Splitting wood with a rifle (video).
This guy is bound to get hurt if he hasn't been already.
I will save the armchair expertise on this one, but it's a great example of the unexpected (in this case a boar charging the hunter) and how easily a gun can accidentally go off in an unplanned direction. Keep a mind that from the gun's point of view, panicking during a boar attack is very similar to slipping on a wet rock.
The final video is more of a comment than anything else. This video is making the rounds as a misfire and is compounded by the rumors (and lawsuits) surrounding the Remington 700. Although the gun goes off 'unintentionally', the video doesn't seem to support the claims many are making that Remington 700's go of without touching the trigger (watch closely).
