If I ever take up firearms training, one of the things I may do is to shove hot brass inside the clothing of people so they get the experience over and not react like fools when an ejected shell ends up in their soft parts.

Pro tip: Never, ever point a gun at your face, no matter what the reason is.
Dumbass.

I was driving with my 2 girls in heavy traffic and a bumble bee somehow made his way down the back of my shirt. He went plum medieval on me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not particularly tough, but it took about .05 seconds for me to decide that a car accident was quite worse than what was happening to my back at the time.
I think these types of events have a lot to do with a person's situational awareness as much as how big of a pussy he is.
I repeat; stupid hurts.
ReplyDeleteHopefully everyone remembers this ...

DeleteThe lack of firearm knowledge and experience is potentially lethal, as this person learned.
ReplyDeleteI once was out at 29 Palms, shooting shoulder to shoulder (I specifically mean in direct, physical contact with the man on the left and on the right, we were all pressed together at the shoulder) with a few dozen like minded and employed fellows. I was wearing a neck gaiter to keep brass out. Due to the volume of fire, one 5.56 brass cartridge, fresh out of the chamber landed between the gaiter and my neck. That brass hit and stuck there. I could not go anywhere or do anything but keep shooting until we all ran dry. To do anything other than would risk getting accidentally shot, or risk shooting one of my fellows. That brass rolled down my neck, pulling a strip of burnt skin with it about 2 inches long. As we were in the field and would remain there for weeks, that strip of raw, oozing burned skin would get pressed into my t-shirt and get crusty with serous fluid and re-open every day until we finished the training work up. Bacitracin helped and some tefla pads.
That the person in the article video damn near anheroed, is a graphic lesson to the inexperienced or the inattentive. Also looks like a compelling illustration of why a trauma medical kit should go with you to the range.
I never use my med kit to help what is quite obviously one stoopid motherfucker that just needs to be composted back to nitrogen heavy dirt.

On a related note, in one version I read, they mentioned a fatality at a range in Archbald, Pa , a few weeks ago. Pistol went boom, killed the guy next to the shooter. Can't find details anywhere.
ReplyDeleteCorrect! They should be issued a Jennings and a single round.

On the topic of training, at 1:30, the video shows someone firing a pistol 2-handed with his left thumb extended across the back of his right hand. This is another case, someone needs to be trained to keep his thumb pointing forward. That will save him learning the hard way, sooner or later, when the slide recoils right into his thumb.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some of the experienced shooters here can get away with that thumb position. YMMV.
Never forget to clear the chamber when you pick up the "unloaded gun", either....I give you Terry Kath....still don't get putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger, even if you were certain it was unloaded....
