I don't believe very much of what I see on the web. Techno nerds can make just about anything seem real---but who can say for sure?

That video was talked about over at levergunner. Here was my imput.
Total fake video! He fired twice. Then he trys to shoot twice more. You can hear him pump the gun twice and click on empty and then set the rifle down and peek down the bore. The action hasnt been worked again, NOR has the trigger been tripped by hand. If that isnt a fake video, them honduni has come back to life!
Olinaz. Watch the video several times more. It took me a bunch of times before I caught on.. Again, twice he works the action and fires at bottels. Then he twice more works the action and only gets a "click". As he works the action those last two times, NO shell fired or unfired comes out! Notice the fireing pin also has been released because we heard it click. The action HAS NOT been pumped again before he looks down the barrel. That means the fireing pin HAS NOT been recocked! Any shell had two times failed to be pumped out if stuck. Probley next to impossible. On top of all that what normal person would target practice at bottels with a shotgun at 10 to 15 feet? What possible action fired the shotgun when he set it down to look at it? His finger never was on the trigger, any shell fired or unfired should have been pumped out with two trys, the fireing pin wasnt recocked, the video is total bogus BS for whatever reason. Probley for bad PR for gun lovers and hunters. You could stage the same thing by stopping and starting a camera, useing a shell with the lead shot removed, putting in the fixed shell, haveing shot the brim of the hat before hand and haveing a buddy with a bamboo pole and fishing line pop your hat off at the same time as the staged accidental shot. Besides I noticed a interupted blur just before the shotgun went off when the film was pieced together just a micro secound before the accidental round went off. Took another bunch of views to see that too.
By the way, I first seen this video I think, on the S&W site a couple days ago. It showed his cap with a hole through the visor after what was showed on this video. Now just who is going to make a video to show someone fireing with a shotgun at bottels at 10 feet? Uhhh, Him hero! As my dad would say.

It looks like a fake, but when I first saw it the video was very disturbing, to me at least. It reminded me of a guy who put a shotgun under his chin and fired. It was on the side of the FDR Drive, (highway) in Manhattan, which is what most people consider NYC.
This poor man was in his 40's. He had beaten cancer a couple of times, then found out he had brain cancer. He was on foot, on the side of the FDR drive. I do not know why he picked that area, it was almost like he wanted to have people see it.
He blew away his lower jaw, most of his upper jaw and face. I had arrived on the scene shortly after he pulled the trigger. He was making guttural noises, since most of his jaw, mouth and face was blown away. He was on his hand and knees with his hands trying to feel for the shotgun. I grabbed the shot gun which was inches away from him. I called for an ambulance. He died two days later.
This was about 12 years ago. To this day I grieve for that poor soul and what he had to deal with. I will never erase that image from my mind. It kind of takes its toll on you to see so much suffering first hand.

I don't think it's stupidity. More like ignorance. I'm still here.
On the side of the Freeway? I don't know, but I'd find a secluded spot that was easy to clean up. TACC1

Many yrs ago, I had a State trooper for a friend and neighbor. He learned he had terminal cancer that was going to drain the entire family. Sent his wife to the store, walked into the back yard after leaving a note on the door, sat in a chair and pulled the trigger. It tore the family up by his actions.
Had a builder back in the late 60's believed to be sick in the bathroom. Called to the scene and did not get a response knocking on the bathroom door. His wife and son wanted the door kicked in so we did. Just as we did, he pulled the trigger on a 12ga. Never will forget it either.
But in this video, I do not know. I have reviewed it several times and cannot say it is real or fake. There are things I cannot understand like why video someone shooting bottles and why look down the barrel of a gun when it is the shell or action that did not work.
Many will remember the story that has been passed around the internet about a guy trying to look down the barrel of a muzzle loader and uses a cigarette lighter to do so. May have happened, may not but well past stupid if it did.
I have looked down the barrel of many a gun but it was generally from the other end and had a light on the opposite end of where my face was.
We all do stupid things. We know better so it is not ignorance but we do it any way.
A few years ago, I was working on my motorhome and it was in the back yard. I was home alone. Put the coach in neutral with the motor running and walked outside the coach. It began slowly rolling forward. I stood in front of it trying to hold it back, all 29,000 pounds of it. My holding it served only to push me backward. I finally figured I needed to get out of the way just before it crashed into the wooden fence that was around the back yard. It was not ignorance. It was my stupidity.

Can't say if the video is a fake, but I do know "slow burners" do happen.
Remington 870 shooting clays (running rabbit), well, I pulled the trigger, just a click, waited and about 15 seconds later while I was just about to eject the shell out, it suddenly fired. It scared the hell out of me, knowing this could happen is way different from happening live direct in front of you!

Yup ... there are some that stupid ... lemme tell yall bout one.
as soon as one of my friends got out of the USMC he went out and pretty much bought up an arsenal suspiciously similar to mine to include a 629.
He never encountered a pistol with the power of a 44 and really, it traumatized him. But as the old saying goes, you can always tell a Jarhead, but you cant tell him much.
So there we all were at the backyard range having a blastathon when he jumps in with "this is how we do it in the corps" ... well last I checked they did it with an M9, not a 629.
So he takes a cover position behind an old car, peeks out at the target and starts to unload that 44. first round hit .. next 5 perforated fresh air as he transitioned to closing his eyes and yanking the trigger....
After that we heard click click click click click Which continued to click as he turned the muzzle to his face to see if anything was coming out.

One day, back on the USAF firing range...
I was talking to the Range Master after I qualified. He told me that he had only kicked one person off his range instantly without a warning, etc. Seems he looked over and saw an airman shoot a few rounds, then casually tilt his M-9 backwards and use the barrel to push his eyeglasses back up on his nose, then tilt the barrel back forward to continue shooting...
Guns are not used to adjust your slipping eyeglasses. Here's your Sign.
