Video: All Bad: Indoor Shooting Range Explodes In Fire During Police Training!

 

[2Lucky]

When I first started shooting trap there were some guy shooting on a partial squad by themselves. I ask why no one wanted to shoot with them and was told they were cops and were unsafe handling there guns. Up to that point I never thought about cops being unsafe but since then I have seen that. One cop locally "lost" his gun while on duty. Its all good though because someone found it for him in the intersection later that day!

I saw that on facebook. Poor ventilation + un-burnt powder residue in front of the firing line + dragon's breath = stupid = fire!

can you hear my eyes rolling? If not, listen harder, you can't miss it.

Folks no one group is unsafe, put it another way: gun owners are unsafe, how wide a net are we only to cast.

I thought the video was interesting and good awareness item.

And that is why somebody with a broom goes out there and cleans up daily.

This was in Brazil & I didn't see them doing anything dangerous. Looks like they aren't even shooting live ammo, looks like less lethal of some sort.

Now that there is Live Fire Training.

The hell, shotgun without recoil? That's a bull**** gun right there.

Possibly beanbag rounds. Very little recoil.

Totally the ranges fault. Wood floor. Gaps in floor. Volatile substance stored in space underneath that floor. That accident was waiting to happen.

It looks like they're shooting blanks. Huge whoosh of smoke and unburned powder and zero recoil. I've never fired a live shotgun round that looked like that. It almost looks like black powder.

Maybe they have somebody banging out ****ty "training" blanks in a back room, stuffing random powder into shotgun hulls. Apparently nobody saw a problem with this, or with never sweeping the range.

"You should train your cops with blanks" is a plausible level of derp for a place like Brazil.

I've observed a lot of shooters, both LEO's and non-LEO's, on various ranges over many years. The statement you made about police being unsafe is a myth. They are always under intense scrutiny though, unlike average Joe's. As to the flash fire at the Brazillian police range, I've heard that the officers were firing some kind of incendiary shotgun rounds, which with a lot of unburned powder and dust on the range floor was a formula for disaster.

He’s trolling. Nothing more

Gotcha.

You should try shooting with doctors again. We have this game we play called “closest to the top of the backstop without going over”. It’s an absolute blast
