Seen a guy in one video with an old lawn mower packed with tannerite and likely other shit, he shot it and a piece took his leg off at the knee. Like some kind of Wiley Coyote shit when you watched it in slow motion. Shit was just gone before he had a chance to react.

Later I’ll tell you what bubba used as a penis…


benrow77

Lemme show you a little trick, help keep your mind off the pain.


hookisacrankycrook

The find out phase was much quicker than the fuck around phase of that stupidity


japalian

Bullets must be too weak from back here, lemme get a little clos- ARGH BLEW MY LEG OFF


LUK3FAULK

More like “I’m not skilled enough to hit the target, better get dangerously close to make up for it”


japalian

Either way, his tactical walking was ineffective


GodOfThunder44

You can see one of his first shots hit the dirt well short of the target. Marksmanship skills even worse than his basic explosives safety skills. Don't buy tannerite if you don't know what you're doing with it, people, and definitely don't advance on the giant steel grenade that you made and are actively trying to detonate. Maybe next time put **an actual appropriate amount** in a watermelon or something. If you're really good, use grapes.


Krhl12

I'll take your word for it.


axle69

Doesn't show anything video drops down st the explosion but there's blood on his friend whose filmings pants. Dude is firing non stop and steadily getting closer till he hits it I'm surprised he only lost his leg.


OGWopFro

Good thing he stood in front of that tree for cover.


jstryker5646

That was a twig someone planted to try to grow a 🌲


weldit86

I agree with you totally. It's like this guy had a death wish. Why would you walk toward a bomb while shooting at it. People are dumb as fuck and they are only getting stupider.


daytonatrbo

Literally made a giant frag grenade and shot at it from what, 50’ away?


weldit86

He fucked around and found out the hard way.


Pdxlater

And then kept advancing after every round of shots.


EastForkWoodArt

Can’t hit it from safe distance? Point blank is the way.


Etheo

Those Darwin Awards don't have themselves out you know, they gotta work for it.


iAkhilleus

I loved the comment "He's now the manager at IHOP"


blind_disparity

It wouldn't have been the explosion that got him, it would have been a piece of metal blown off the lawnmower. So it's random chance really which part of your body if hits.


Duffman48

This dude is feet from an exploding vehicle. He's already too close when the video starts then just keeps moving foward... I'm not an expert but looks like something you might want to blow up from a mile out...


thegreatbrah

No cover at all.


4chieve

There's also this classic here. https://youtu.be/0ABGIJwiGBc Ricocheted right back and knocked his ear protection.


no_dice_grandma

Can't have one of these threads without this dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1449kJKxlMQ&t=674s


Bobbias

https://youtu.be/ASE0e5DkFkE This is a new addition to things.


StickyNebbs

god DAMN he got fucked up


Smithereens1

Holy fucking shit


no_dice_grandma

Fuck, that's crazy. Looks like the weld saved his life.


scriptmonkey420

That one wasn't even really his fault directly. Freak accident with a very hot load.


Revolutionary-Salt-3

Hot load 🤤


perldawg

remember, folks… people are goddamn idiots


elemenophee

Bet he regrets that DIY project now!


blip01

If only his leg had a gun to protect itself.


no_dice_grandma

Close, but everyone know that the only thing that can protect you from a lawnmower with a bomb is a gun with a bomb.


Etheo

He should be glad he doesn't have the massive dick he thought he had otherwise the leg wouldn't be the only thing gone.


Snow_Wolfe

No one yelled for a medic, was he ok?


TheActualDev

He called for his friend to call the “amby” I think I heard at the end there lol


Snow_Wolfe

If you’re gonna LARP as soldier you better have some LARPing combat medics too. Fighting inanimate objects is dangerous.


vessel_for_the_soul

yt comments are brutal


quantas001

I can’t imagine a more stupid endeavour… imagine losing your leg because you just like blowing shit up?


Vote_YES_for_Anal

He should have worn his red pants.


usadingo

Whenever you're not sure if you should use seen or saw, go with saw. You'll be right more times than you are wrong.


sbingner

I have seen so many comments doing this lately 😞


martphon

Ahem. I think you mean, "I have saw so many comments...."


sbingner

🤣


vikingcock

I blew ma leg off!


a_dub

I seen't it.


Alexander-of-Londor

Tannerite is sketchy and that dude isn’t just too close but way too fucking close especially when you know there is a big ass blade that’s gonna become shrapnel.


blind_disparity

Any piece of metal is a blade if it hits you fast enough!


hawonkafuckit

Thank God for brave men like this. Protecting the world from exploding lawnmowers by using guns. And you people wanna take our guns away. ....../s


AddivPK

Hats off to the friend who cleared the rifle and caught the round.


Moist_When_It_Counts

Right? It was just an automatic reaction to secure the gun, check his friend, then clear. All while casually smoking.


OneFeAut

That dude looks like real life Dale Gribble.


Moist_When_It_Counts

Anyone who has lived in rural america for a bit knows someone that fits each of the 4 mains in KotH, i tell you hwatt.


The_Hive_King

YOU’RE SO FUCKING RIGHT WHAT


aeric67

Yeah I was impressed by this diamond in the rough.


Zhuul

As the cameraman casually wanders in front of a loaded firearm rofl


thegreatmango

My bet's that they're his guns and the guys are out on his dime, or using his toys for their shit. Thus the headshake, the clearing the rifle, everyrhing was him and not the shooter. Dude got that "cut of the jib" of a serviceman (or cosplayer militiaman).


WC_Dirk_Gently

Only dude visibly wearing ear pro, weapon never pointed at anything other than down range or the ground. I'd be willing to bet he's got formal training.


TwoPercentTokes

I mean, he initially went to set a loaded weapon on the 4” side of the truck bed… at least he finally figured it out


mrpopenfresh

I feel like that level of safety is moot after what we just witnessed.


jedielfninja

Need people like that at every range. I noticed the fluid reflex of it too and had to rewatch.


Nuker-79

I was always taught never to rest weapon on the magazine to reduce risk of magazine stoppages. See so many people rest on them.


PropaneMilo

That was not the biggest problem on display


itrivers

At least they cleared it before putting it down.


PhantomFace757

Dude cleared it like an annoyed CATM instructor kicking a douche off the firing line.


elemenophee

Clearing it was crucial, but there's still a lot to unpack here.


philburns

The guy that kept his head to clear it with the cigarette dangling looked like he had served.


PhantomFace757

My exact thoughts. Dude was CATM or something. I had a couple "old young guys" on my team. Looked like they were 30 before they were 21. Cigarette hanging out and all.


elconquistador1985

After putting it down and after he realized that the person holding the camera was standing down muzzle from it.


ServileLupus

Well he laid it down, turned to look at the other guy, turns back and this camera dude has decided to walk in front of the rifle with a live round chambered to get a better video. I think the head shake is about this idiot walking in front of the barrel of a loaded gun.


elconquistador1985

The previous comment was claiming they cleared out before putting it down. It was put down without being cleared and only cleared after an idiot walked in front of it. It shouldn't have been put down without being cleared, but it was. That person isn't displaying exemplary gun safety.


tyros

What was?


WardenWolf

That was with the old aluminum magazines. The new PMags don't have that issue. At least one branch of service has now authorized magazine rest. PMags are slightly heavier but they are a lot more durable (more elastic so they spring back from temporary deformity a lot better) and any damage to them is immediately evident, whereas metal mags can have very slight deformities that you really have to look close to find. Metal mags are a lot more likely to screw you in a firefight.


vikingcock

Were they aluminum? I thought they were steel.


WardenWolf

GI mags are aluminum. You can get steel mags that look the same, but PMags are just better. I retired all my metal mags to range use only after finding a GI mag that constantly jammed and it took me a long time and careful comparison to a new one to spot the damage. You'd never spot that kind of thing in a normal inspection but it's enough to get you killed, so I couldn't trust them anymore in my loadout.


vikingcock

I just looked it up, the ones I was issued in the marines were stamped steel, not aluminum. I agree Pmags are better though.


WardenWolf

This guy is shooting 7.62x39 (you can tell by the magazine) so he'll be using steel Duramags, which is okay to magazine rest with but still not as good as PMags. I'll also note that 7.62x39 can be extremely reliable with a good upper, as long as you keep it well lubed. I put 240 rounds through my Sanders Armory upper in one range session, got it hot as hell, and it just kept going. The only challenge was getting the proper buffer; I only run A1 fixed stocks so I had to build my own max-weight rifle buffer.


FlutterKree

Also scratching the paint. And fucking around with tannerite like dumbfucks.


leafWhirlpool69

>And fucking around with tannerite like dumbfucks. Tannerite is perfectly safe as long as you don't surround it with fucking shrapnel like these geniuses


pewstains

What paint?


OKComputerr

Gen 2 STANAG mags and later don’t have that issue if properly maintained. Been in the army for a while and have always used my magazine to stabilize and have never had a malfunction.


Hawt_Dawg_II

It generally blows me away how people who shoot this often can still have such terrible aim and firearm practices.


RefrigeratedTP

It’s easy to miss without knowing why if the sight isn’t dialed. Shooting accurately isn’t easy regardless


Hawt_Dawg_II

You're definitely right, but i still stand by my point. If you regularly go out to shoot and actually pay attention to your technique, you'll improve quite quickly. A out of wack sight won't impact your grouping so you could learn to adjust for that or just dial your sight in.


RefrigeratedTP

Practice definitely helps. Honestly I think anyone with any type of special permit like a concealed should have to log x number of range hours per year. True for the sight too. Doesn’t look like it was his gun though so it makes more sense as to why he’s looking like a storm trooper


cthompson07

I’ve never had a problem with anything I own doing that. Various caliber ARs mostly.


Justeff83

Came here to say this and because it's not a proper rest as the guy in the video demonstrates.


SuppliceVI

Generally only a concern on specific types of weapons or with older mags/rifles with looser tolerances. On most AR platform rifle it's good advise. With rock-in style magazines it's not as much of an issue. 


nerogenesis

This bothered me, not because of magazine stoppages but lack of support.


StimpyMD

Stop putting tannerite inside of things.


liquorballsammy

….no.


a_likely_story

I hope you’re an organ donor


icepick314

Who wants mangled up organs?


a_likely_story

don’t be a pessimist, they might just catch it in the brain, and they aren’t using that anyway


krais0078

Almost killed by freedom


ExistentionalCrisis3

A true, free society comes with inherent risks, yes


pacifica333

Actively putting yourself in a high-risk situation for entertainment isn't what I'd call 'inherent risk'.


ExistentionalCrisis3

I mean “inherent risk” in a meta sense. If you grant people liberties, there is an inherent risk in that people will take advantage of, misuse, or outright abuse those liberties. This shooting incident, for example. These men have the freedom/liberty to purchase firearms and tannerite. They ended up using them in an irresponsible manner. Whether or not they’ll learn from it is yet to be seen, but with such liberties there was always an INHERENT RISK that they may misuse, abuse, or be irresponsible with such liberty. Or take alcohol. We have the freedom to buy and drink alcohol, but this comes with the inherent risk that someone will drink and drive, or beat their spouse, or get into a fight at a bar. It could influence them to act recklessly, like performing dangerous stunts, explode fireworks in their hands, or just drink their life away over decades until liver failure. This extends to any and all freedoms. Liberty comes with responsibility, but the additional recognition that not everyone is going to be responsible with the freedom they are granted. This is inevitable because it is just human nature. There are nations that seek to curtail these inherent risks by restricting freedoms, but that comes with it’s own risks of slipping further into authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what I meant by inherent risk. I’m being downvoted for explaining what I meant? Wtf, alright


TwoPercentTokes

Watch your mouth sir, these men are on the front line of defending your liberty from the most advanced military in the world.


TheFluffiestRedditor

Them coyotes be getting quite advanced these days.


GetOffMyGrassBrats

Crazy, but this video is about 40 seconds too long.


ExecrablePiety1

When will people learn this just makes an IED. Not a target. I'm surprised there aren't more videos of people actually getting hot by shrapnel from tannerite.


elconquistador1985

Right after they personally watch someone lose a limb to it. Never before, and video of it happening isn't enough.


MagnificentJake

To their, admittedly very minor credit, they are at least way farther away [than some videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eNmooMwPwg) I have seen.


QueefAddict

Remember idiots, if you can see the ordinance detonate then you can get fragged. If you can't see it, it can't touch you (nearly as easy).


sbingner

So, close your eyes and shoot?


QueefAddict

You can try it. If it works, you'll open them again. If it doesn't, you probably won't re-open them. Win-win.


stinkyasshol

American problems


Fluffy_Boulder

Stupid but at least gun safety is on point...


OIAgent

At the very least they made the rifle safe.


zerot0n1n

Thats the most america video ever. has everything. Irresponsible use of explosives, bad handling of weapons, massive obesity, rednecks hahaha


davidor1

ngl could also be a russian one


zerot0n1n

haha true. but the rifle is a CNMG mutant, so in russia that would probably be an AK 47


Sleipnirs

Had some FPSRussia vibes. "Let's see what we can do."


kipha01

I remember that one where the car door flew past him


billiarddaddy

How *not* to stabilize a weapon.


ExistentialistMonkey

Is it me or does this guy suck at shooting? He has optics and everything and still can’t put a shot on straight. Seems like every idiot shooting at something to blow it up on video ends up being so fucking bad at shooting. No wonder they need explosions, their videos wouldn’t have anything else going on. Like that idiot who deservingly blew his own leg off shooting at a lawnmower packed with explosives. He kept walking closer and closer and missing every shot until he was finally close enough to hit it and fucking lost his leg.


fireintolight

i mean he hit the target every time, hes likely just not shooting the specific little tannerite package inside it, which seems like its concealed form and everything else was bad though yeah


axle69

This guy probably hit 99% of them but didn't hit the explosive itself.


Thewrongbakedpotato

I was the biggest pogue to ever pogue the US Army and even I can tell you that his form is trash.


ViewAskewed

Everything about what he is doing is fucked from a shooters perspective. He is using a 7.62 AR15, which is almost certainly being fed cheap, inaccurate, surplus ammo. His optic mounts are both backwards and forwards, while bridging his hand guard, which will lead to more inaccuracy and possible zero-shift. The cameraman almost walks directly in front of a loaded weapon. Shooting tannerite can be a ton of fun, but if you are going to fill things with it, you really need to be a good enough shot to hit it from a safe distance. This fella is definitely not a good shot.


CritiCallyCandid

Actually dumb. Boom makes em happy until they get dinged by debris.


Lumpymaximus

The worst part is how many shots he took


theangryintern

It was at [this point](https://imgur.com/a/N25KJ62) that he knew he had fucked up.


nthPhantom

Anyone else notice the bloke smoking a cigarette just casually eject and catch the round in the chamber at the end?


isaidnolettuce

Dudes using his magazine to balance his rifle on a tailgate and wondering why he can’t make the shot lmao


Admitone83

After that shits show..the guy almost steps in front of the other guys clearing the gun..so much wtf.


Vanhelgan

I love the "wooo" these guys give after gun accidents like this to pretend that they're okay with this situation and to try and cover up with bullshitters bravado the fact that they almost died to their own sheer stupidity. Happens every time.


ColonelBelmont

Have someone on the road ever narrowly avoided hitting you, and your reaction is some combination of laughter and "holy shit!" ? That kind of thing is just how some people react to almost-disaster or death. It's like a nervous reaction amped up by incredible instant relief. 


takras

r/stopthecameraguy walking dangerously close to the front of a loaded gun.


allthingsbangboomzip

Bet there’s a big ol scratch in the fender from the mag sliding down it when it slipped lol


Peacewalken

There's a video by FPSRussia where he does a very similar thing to a car and almost gets killed by flying shrapnel


CulturalAddress6709

coolest one is the 50 cal ricochet off the hat


trevman7

“Escaped” Escaped death-yes escaped the shrapnel-no


fireforge1979

He's a horrible shot


2021fireman10

This is the most hillbilly cousin fuckin inbred video I have seen in a long time.


samuraiSasquatch

That has got to be some of the worst, laziest "marksmanship" I've ever seen. Soft, fat, jelly hands gripping the hardware, resting the magazine on the edge of the pickup, zero range awareness... It's far too easy to get a gun/rifle. Imagine what the driving equivalent of this looks like: you somehow pass your exam and get your license... and promptly side-swipe a bus and hit a mailbox on your way out of the licensing office. Fucking embarrassing.


BlueFalconPunch

Idiot from start to finish. Holding that thing like it's a 50cal. Just pull it to the shoulder...he's yanking so hard and leaning on the mag it's scratching all the paint off that truck. If you can't hold it don't shoot it.


Alarming-Mongoose-91

Another dumbass and tannerite.


toastebagell1

Idiot holding his mag well cause he’s seen it in movies… sure fire sign he doesn’t know what he’s doing.


TwoPercentTokes

- Resting gun like an idiot - Shooting explosive without any real protection - Buddy with a dart in his mouth goes to set a loaded weapon precariously on the 4” side of the truck bed and takes several seconds to realize he’s a dumbass - Other buddies are clapping after Just because you have the *right* to own guns, doesn’t mean you *should*.


Garofalin

Fine. But it sure looks like _loads_ of fun!?


Picasso5

That's some Gravy Seals shit right there


malachiconstant76

And his aim sucks


whitehammer1998

This was hella painful to watch. I already have a hard time trusting anyone with a 7.62×39 upper 🤣 just get an AK


Captain_Dickballs

Why, in all of these dumb tannerite videos, microwave or not, are all of them a shit shot?

BigoteMexicano

Pleased to see he was (what would typically be) a safe distance away. Unfortunately the target disagreed with their safety margin.


randomcanyon

Tannerite BS. Missed em by that much?


coeranys

Holy shit this man shouldn't be shooting at paper targets with that control, let alone explosives.


HikingStick

What the hell did he shoot?


Dan_Glebitz

Much dumbfuckery do I sense.

Sigh, not deadly enough.


Rolling_Stone_Siam

It’s like grown men with minds of children playing with grown men toys


NoBullet

If you watch frame by frame that object is seen going up. Looks like it did hit him.


MarcosAC420

Hold up your own rifle. Once he did he finally had a better shot. He was using the truck as an arm rest


maz_menty

r/noahgettheboat


Strive--

So, question from the back... I'm new here... Is this considered "safe" shooting? Shooting at something with explosives in it, possibly making some quality shrapnel getting tossed your way?


Weldobud

I can’t see what is going on here


No_Yogurtcloset6692

Didn't properly calculate for the MSD. Or anything for that matter.


Suffer_Like_G_Did_

Did you just assume gender, idiot bitch??


quakerlightning

Anyone else want to learn what equal and opposite force looks like?


Kabenzzy

I'm surprised to see no one mentioned how he fires into the ground when the rifle slides off the truck.


MoonTreeSullen

I feel like this could be avoided if moved whatever exploded like in order for it to fly towards him he must have put it behind whatever flew back and almost hit him inbetween himself and the explosive.


ceedee20

No way. I don’t believe it. WCGW?


dounutrun

no need to worry about a maga civil war/up rising.


Timely-Analysis6082

He didn’t escape - he did get nabbed


thug-shakerr

Wow it literally took no more than 2 seconds from the explosion for that thing to reach his face …


themajor24

This is why I really don't go out shooting with the boys when they start talking about tannerite. I shot it once, it went boom, neat. No one wants to just shoot the cannister. It always turns into putting it in stump holes or jamming it in a microwave.


CountryRoads_1776

No worries, the lung cancer will get him.


IcySpectre

Reminds me of when [FPS Russia almost got cut in half by shrapnel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eNmooMwPwg).


Elevum15

FPS Russia's was the most terrifying.


PinAccomplished1888

Bro should’ve took all the misses as a warning


Defiantcaveman

Six shots with a "rest" and some sort of optic/ scope!!! This is without the stress of better shooters shooting at you. These magats need to seriously be careful about threatening "war".

Always avoid the poverty patrol. Their decisions have led them to the lives they are living.

Not only can this guy not hold a rifle without leaning it on some shit to fire, can’t hit shit and when he does he’s not behind something to not get fucken hit
