Why hire this idiot? (bar owner wants a 'younger' crowd).

So this video is not for the faint of heart. It has to do with a handgun and getting shot.

The bar I frequent has karaoke on Tues, Friday and Saturday. Recently, the owner of the bar decided that he needs "Younger" people in the bar, so he goes an gives Tuesday night to a new guy, much younger, to do the karaoke.....

This is him... (the guy getting shot).



There are so many things wrong with this, I don't even know where to start. !!!

I spoke with him breifly, and he told me the bullet went in but came right out because of the vest. The doctor said it came about an inch away from his heart.

Keep showing this crap and we will surely have gun controle real quick.

Acting stupid is bad. Filming it is almost as bad.

Showing stupid will get gun controle laws past.

One thing I failed to mention was the reasoning behind this. He was just out of the police academy. He was trained on the stun gun, but his argument was "But they never train you on what it's like to get hit by a bullet in a vest". He wanted that training. He is now a tow truck driver (and a karaoke dj). It was kind of understood that the police immediately withdrew there recommendation for his candidacy.

I've seen this video before (recently). So you have the misfortune of having this kid not only in your town, but, your favorite watering hole as well. I have hit back arrow so many times, I am speechless. I am sorry man. Can you find a new bar, ummmm- errrr. ???

Yep, I thought about that response. I also thougt, 'surely they would see the blood trickling down his chest growing as camera time goes on'.

But, when all else fails, just have faith that this ol' cowboy actually saw this guy in person, and he lifted his shirt to show his wound.

Yep. there really are people in this world that will do something as stupid as this.

Can you imagine? "hey, shoot me and see if it works". the guy that shot him should have been charged with attempted manslaughter. or something... geez.~~~~! i would never do that to a friend.

Ehhh, dunno. Noob here. Will agree to disagree at this point. Its my understanding that no ones finds will be called "fake", think a story is trying to be told here and that is about it.

no flash, no smoke, no sudden jerk on impact I conclude this is fake. I have seen handguns in use up close, the impact should have spun him around a little or even knocked him down at this close of a distance....FAKE video.

Maybe not fake, but the guy kneeling with the gun sure as hell didn't shoot him.

K, you people forced me to watch that video, conclusions ---

A) Textree posted '....now granted I am a woman....' You forgot, 'All LOVELY Woman' luv, hehehe

B) As for the semi, the muzzle actually rises about 6 " upon being shot..

C) regarding impact energy, a thrown hard, baseball equals a .45 AcP in actual energy. Contrary to most movies, no pistol projectile has enough energy to violently move a human effectively.

To check this out simply hang a #100 sack of sand with free movement, then and shoot into it. Forget the jugs of water and watermelons.

When I was in the BP, we had a group of wets rounded up in the field, and were processing them. Two new patrol oficers were a bit bored and commenced to play around, One made a simulated Judo chop at the other, who in turn made a quick draw, but forgot that he had built in reflexes now, and promptly shot as soon as his pistol was clear of the holster.

There was dead silence, then we started to look around to see if any damage had been done, outside of the nerves of the scared, huge eyed wets. we couldn't find out where the bullet ahd gone, when one of the playful officers suddenly turned white and collapsed. He had been shot squarely in the spleen with the .38 special at 1100 fps, at close range and didn't even know that he had been hit. The explosion had covered the actual impact.

This cost me, and another officer, a 1/2 liter of my lovely, angelic blood while the wounded officer had a spleenectomy. He lived of course, but both of them were retired from the service..

People vastly over estimate the power of a handgun projectile, most of the time the victim actually leans into the point of impact.

Today is "D" day. They have pictures of some of the troops landing and two were shot at the water line .with a much more powerful weapon , yet, if you watch, they simply collapse in the forward direction.

I would agree with that. People usually fall the direction from which they are shot. They don't go flying back ten feet, or do a 360. Most times they don't know they are shot at all, unless they are hit with something big.

HI Tex luv & Blur: upon closely observing and putting into slow motion, the pistol does cycle. & recoil. As for the blood?, there is none showing below the vest at his waist line before the espisode, after yes, and with fluid movement down in the same area. \

At the very least he received a nice bruise, noticible. hehehe

p.s. Tex luv, my initials may be "JC", but I still am not equal to him. Just ask my Tiger (wife) sigh.

Haha ya some people are idiots, what if the guy missed the vest? I knew one guy who was killed while wearing a vest, the bullets went through in a few instances and hit other area's of the body in others. Besides most of those vest are crap and will only stop handgun rounds, i'd much rather have a vest with SAPI plates.

SAPI plates are HEAVY. And you still have that problem of the fact that the vest only covers so much, even with neck guards and the groin protector......And SAPI plates wont completely stop anything over a 7.62.
