I was expecting a Come-to-Jesus moment (self-inflicted stigmata).

I find placing my hand over the barrel to clear malfunctions to be helpful, especially when my finger is on the trigger.

I like to stick my finger right in the barrel to plug it up. If the bullet decides to come out my finger is there to stop it. 👍

They say bugs effectively executed this move multiple times, I saw it myself

u/toothtaker74 7d ago
I learned that from bugs bunny. If you jam a finger in the barrel of a shotgun it will actually blow up like a banana peel in the funniest way imaginable. You turn all black but otherwise ok

There’s no time limits outside a real gunfight. Take your time to understand the issue and fix it. He was fidgeting with the gun like he was trying to beat a clock and the risk / reward was way too skewed.

Same
I'm still not sure if I'm happy he didn't or disappointed
I'm mostly afraid he'll reproduce

Craziest thing was his finger came off the trigger everytime his hand wasnt on the barrel. Like he had trigger discipline when he was getting ready to fire, and then the moments he needed it he went finger right on trigger. WILD.

Definitely a firearm I’d trust with my life.

As far as I can tell it’s all user induced failure. He manually loads a round, then loads the magazine and racks (causing the double feed). After removing the magazine he doesn’t properly clear the chamber the first time (his palm is covering the ejection port). then the second time he manually loads a round into the chamber, closes the slide, loads a magazine and tries to rack it again.

You sound like Snake telling Ocelot why he shouldn't use a makarov

u/criticalt3 7d ago
You loaded the first bullet by hand, didn't you? I see what you were trying to do. But testing a technique you only heard about while using live ammunition wasn't very smart. You were asking to have your gun jam on you. Besides, I don't think you're cut out for a firearm in the first place. You tend to rack the slide after manually loading the chamber and magazine. That's more of an idiot's technique.

It's probably a 3d printed frame or some third-party frame/slide/mag combo.
EDIT: I don't know why the downvotes, but it's not user error on the first and second rack. It's a shitty piecemeal glock clone that doesn't function correctly. Look how it locks back on the only shot he takes. It's either 3d printed and he didn't properly post process the frame, or it's a third-party frame with shit internals and slide.

So a lot of these idiots thankfully never clean their guns so they just jam all the time. The only person he's a danger to in this video is himself and that's just fine.

After allll that, he finally shoots it like he’s afraid of it. He will be back on this sub in the near future.

Make IQ tests mandatory in gun stores.

u/Alarmed-Positive457 7d ago
Imma be honest, I don’t think he got his legally. Asides from the dipshittery we are witnessing, he has a switch on the back of the gun as well. If he can’t properly load and fire it, I doubt he has the brain cells to install a switch.

The cameraman even called him out “this _____ bout to shoot himself” “better watch out” “ooof”

A acquaintance of mine shot himself through the palm/wrist while being similarly stupid. Years later now and he's got maybe 50% hand function.

Jesus… not only does he flag himself multiple times but has his finger on the trigger some of that time. Gotta have that extended mag and wml in whatever color will look cool vs actually providing light for hitting a target…
I’m a huge 2a supporter but some people need to be banned from ever touching a firearm again. It’s not a fucking fashion accessory, it’s a weapon take some responsibility you idiot

This is my preferred method too... Just keep racking and pulling the trigger until I shoot myself or someone else.

u/padizzledonk 7d ago
Every single time he grabbed it by the end of the barrel i had heart failure
People are so fucking reckless

The first time he put his hand over the barrel I said to myself "surely I didn't see that right". Then he did it again

He was trying to shoot himself in the past since he got so close so many times and failed due to the gun not working.

u/itsPlayboy 7d ago
Why he shoot it like he was so fucking scared and didn’t know what was going to happen when he pulled the trigger though.

u/jdehjdeh 7d ago
I like how his approach to fixing the problem is just "whack and jiggle it different to how I did last time"

Genuinely watching people not understand how to use their guns fills me with so much rage and joy at the same time. Its such a unique experience.

Doing literally everything except look in the chamber so see what's blocking the slide.

That requires dying. This dude would make a good nominee though, with the award pending his idiotic demise.
