This could nip a wee bit....
« on: 05 June 2008, 23:11:33 »

The following is a lesson on how not to do something...

For many a year, I have been involved in the use of these things, of various sizes, and have always managed to learn the safe use balance between size and distance....

Read the following then play the clip.  You may too may learn a lesson on how not to stand or be too close to something potentially nippy.......



The guy is shooting an AR-50. These things happily takeout targets at a distance of a mile or so.....  Watch the dust when he fires. The target, a steel plate, was 100 yards away. You can hear the ping of the hit, then the bullet comes back and hits his earmuffs on his head.   You can hear the bullet as it tumbles through the air on its course back toward the shooter. He's lucky it hit the dirt  first - the bullet grazed his temple.    What a difference a half an inch makes!

Pillock........  

Is it a coincidence that I hear a US accent??

:-X

i don't know much about this sort of thing but iirc with the correct ammunition aren't they capable of stopping lightly armoured vehicles.
I read somewhere that  IRA used one to great effect . and that knobhead fires at a target 100yards away . More money than skill

This reminds me of the story of when Mountbatten shot the head of the US Navy in WWII. Churchill had sent him to meet the Americans and other allies to discuss the building of two-million-ton giant aircraft carriers made out of ice and wood pulp (pykrete). At the meeting, Mountbatten chose to demonstrate the strength of a block of pykrete by pulling out his revolver and firing at it. The bullet bounced off and nicked the leg of Admiral King. Despite his alleged Anglophobia, King was impressed and development went ahead (sadly eclipsed by sufficient progress in the war with conventional ships).

Only in that in the USA the people are (generally) more free to own and use guns than people here. Therefore it is simply more likely that an American will be recorded making a mistake with a gun than a Britisher.

To me, this indicates a wider failure on the part of we British than of the Americans...

shows just how stupid some people are. if the round had of hit him theres a pretty good chance it would of taken his off. then everybody would of been going on about how dangerous guns are ( not how stupid people are ).

Hmm. the only good thing about the US gun culture. People like this will eventually remove themselves from the gene pool.
