WTH... Some people should NOT own guns...

dubojr1 · January 24th, 2011, 12:49 PM

I can name at least 8 that shouldn't...

thurt88 · January 24th, 2011, 01:33 PM

Yep, retards for sure. Thankfully they werent American.

The one towards the end with the VZ 58 (automatic) looked to be in a soldiers uniform. Sad.

Wow, all that is uncalled for. Anyone who owns a gun should know how important safty is with it. They are not toys!

I'd like to believe they were shooting blanks, but probably was real live ammo. Very frightening for sure. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that bunch of morons. And bullets do eventually come down from being shot straight up in the air and sometimes kill someone.

Mythbusters did this, and busted it IIRC. If a bullet truly goes straight up in the air, loses all momentum, and is only accelerated by the force of gravity on the way down, it doesn't have enough energy to kill anyone other than in the strangest of situations.

But bullets shot somewhat into the air are still coming back down with more than enough velocity to kill someone, and getting hit by a stray bullet has got to be a pretty terrible way to go.

from here:

Quote:

Bullets fired into the air maintain their lethal capability when they eventually fall back down.
BUSTED / PLAUSIBLE / CONFIRMED
In the case of a bullet fired at a precisely vertical angle (something extremely difficult for a human being to duplicate), the bullet would tumble, lose its spin, and fall at a much slower speed due to terminal velocity and is therefore rendered less than lethal on impact. However, if a bullet is fired upward at a non-vertical angle (a far more probable possibility), it will maintain its spin and will reach a high enough speed to be lethal on impact. Because of this potentiality, firing a gun into the air is illegal in most states, and even in the states that it is legal, it is not recommended by the police. Also the MythBusters were able to identify two people who had been injured by falling bullets, one of them fatally injured. To date, this is the only myth to receive all three ratings at the same time.

I'm glad to know this now. I hate thinking something is true when it's just a myth.

And some of those guys weren't pointing straight up. One guy looked like he could have hit somebody standing just a few feet away.

Btw, this is why I laugh when other countries tell us we have a "gun problem" in the US.

A few years ago in RI a local police department was doing a SWAT exercise. An officer got the perp (fellow officer) in his sight, pulled the trigger, and killed him. Didn't remember to switch to blanks.
