Guy shooting himself to test his bulletproof vest (video)

[Sylvain]

I really dont know what to think about this one guys ...
Newton award of the year?

Yep, it's a guy wearing a bullerproof vest (actually two vests on top of eachother) and shooting at himself with a 10mm Glock.
And all that in the comfort of his living room of course.

As I sat in horrified fascination, the only thing that I could think is that stupid SHOULD hurt.

Crazy !!

 

[BoilerWes]

Wow! What a nimrod!

Did you notice, this was test #2? Must be a very shallow learning curve.

One of the mottos I live by really applies here...Play stupid games---win stupid prizes.

Did you notice, this was test #2? Must be a very shallow learning curve.

And did you notice that there is no test #3?
Im affraid he was not able to upload the video "test #3" for some reasons.

For the young lions on INGO: The owner of Second Chance body armour used to shoot himself with a .44 to demo his vests. However, he would stuff phone books behind his vest to soak up the transfer of engery to his pizza paunch.

There was a popular video tape from the '80s which featured him shooting himself while wearing a vests and shooting the host of the video with an FAL.

A well-known gun writer shot himself at a seminar . . . but failed to pad his vest with a phone book, similar results were achieved.

WOW!! Not that it matters if your dumb enough to shoot yourself but where is the hearing protection?

Many moons ago when I worked in Indy as an EMT I worked a cop who had been shot with a .357 that hit him in the chest. The vest stopped the bullet but he had a broken rib from it. The guy in the video was saved from worse injury by the generous layer of adipose tissue between the vest and vitals.

Wow, just wow. He has to be in the leading pack for this year's Darwin Award.

Hahaha. The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me. I also love him throwing his still loaded gun onto the couch like it's a cornhole bag.

 

[hbarnett1]

What an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GIJEW]

He's lucky the pistol didn't fire while he was holding it by the muzzle with his R hand and massaging the grip and trigger with his L hand, while trying to psyche himself up.
Given all those tattoos, I wonder if he had to do stuff like that in order to get initiated into some bike gang?

He'd only loaded one round in the mag, the slide was locked back when he tossed it onto the couch. He's not that unsafe...

I've seen Mr Davis shoot himself on several occasions in Vegas at the Soldier Of Fortune back then. He sold a lot of vests with this gimmick. In person it was much cooler to see because of course you felt it too. The phone books helped.

But this guy is just Stupid.
I hope it hurt all week.
