Once again if even ONE of the rules of safe firearm handling had been followed...
You beat me to it,Its called Darwinism.
Holy CRAP. He's going to be seeing, well, whatever it was he saw from his point of view, in his dreams at night for a long damned time. I bet he won't pick a gun up for a long time. At least, we can all hope. And I mean geez, what did he hope to accomplish by looking down the barrel. I laughed for a minute after I realized he didn't blow his face off because of the complete idiocy. That was Elmer J. Fudd grade stupidity. If he was trying to assess the problem he needed to be checking out the receiver, not staring up the freaking death tunnel. Looks like those powder burns helped create the momentary sensation he just shot his face off. I'll tell you one thing, if he ever starts thinking he doesn't want to live anymore, he won't toy with the idea of putting a gun to his head. Been down that road, DO NOT WANT!
This guy deserves a break though, he learned more about guns in 1/100th of a second than many of us learn in years. And I mean that. He is no longer the man that made that video. In a way... that man actually did die that day, you can count on it.
I'm having a hard time believing in the legitimacy of this video. I can't imagine anyone would, upon a gun failing to fire, turns it around to look down the barrel. Even the stupidest people I know would be smarter than that.
I mean obviously it could've happened....but dang. Really?
