Now that's a close call

WTF!!!!!!

I wondered what Elmer Fudd was up to these days.

HOLY ****

What would possess a person to even try that? You couldn't see anything down there anyways... Why? Putting aside the fact that you're breaking rules, what would be the benefit of looking down the muzzle when you have a suspected dud?

"Oh I have an ftf! I think I'll just take a peak and see what's wrong in there...."

 

[Scutter01]

Seems fake to me. On the other hand, there are enough idiots out there that this is completely believable.

 

[tradertator]

HOLY COW!!!

 

[gunman41mag]

He should count his blessing, cause it could've turn out really bad.

I'm calling Shenanigans on this. I think Scutter01 is right that there are enough idiots out there to look down the barrel but the muzzle blast of a 12 ga shotgun would have done more than just knock his hat off. It would have torn his face off or at the least blinded him. It moves just enough right before the blast.

If you watch the video, watch the gun and nothing else. It appears to have a 'shadow'. It looks like they filmed a gun standing straight up and it shooting and then dubbed the guy and the empty gun over it. Also when he racks the gun after the 2nd shot, no shotgun shell falls out...it's a good fake but still a fake.

edit...I meant to say after the 1st misfire he racks the slide...nothing falls out...also the shadow of the shooter and the gun is the big sign it is a dub job.

Either way, it made my skin crawl...

I saw the frame by frame with the following comments:

I downloaded the video and ran it through Adobe Premier. IF this is a fake, it's a very good one. You can watch and see there is no discernible break in the action. The shooter never moves from his spot, his shadow does not change, the location of the shotgun does not change, the background does not change.

The shot gun twists, ever so slightly in the frame just before you see the discharge at the muzzle.

The first four pictures are still frames taken right before the discharge, the remainder are from the slow motion portion of the video.

The remainder are from the slow motion portion, and you can see more of the discharge.

My feeling is this is for real, and this guy is VERY lucky to be alive.

 

[DustyDawg48]

After watching it again it almost looks like the hat starts to fly off before the shotgun goes off. I'll eat my Cabela's hat if this really happened...good editing job but the shadow on the ground changes color between him checking his gun and the gun 'firing' where they tried to cover up the edit job.

Prime example why dumb people shouldn't shoot guns.

What he said. Aside from whether it's a well done fake or not, I have seen people look down their gun barrels before. DAAAAAHHHHH! WHY?!?!?!?

There is no emoticon that properly demonstrates to you how far down my jaw fell while watching this. D:

Absolutely ridiculous
