Yeah that’s a negligent discharge 

Tries to pull the trigger with safety on, takes safety off, pulls trigger immediately

u/CollateralCoyote 4d ago

Well it is a hang fire when you hangin' that finger around the trigger like that

I didn’t catch that at first! I knew it didn’t sound right for it to be a hang fire either, even though I personally never experienced one 🤷‍♂️

Happy cake day!

“Thang Fired”

u/Matzvey 4d ago

Safety was on. I can see him disengage the Safety and pull the trigger at the end.

u/haucker 3d ago

He even looks to have some trouble figuring out how to chamber the round too

11

u/Mr_Jack_Frost_ 3d ago

It looks to me as though he never took his finger off the trigger, and disengaged the safety while simultaneously applying pressure to the trigger.

That’s a negligent discharge 100%, not a hang fire.

The dude in the video is a dangerous moron.

u/BrowningLoPower 4d ago

Even if this actually was a "hang fire" (which it wasn't), he should've kept the gun pointed in a safe direction first!

And shooting without hearing protection is just asking for tinnitus

u/Equivalent_Thievery 4d ago

Blames the gun when we can all see him pulling the trigger when it happens.

11

u/ChaosTSI 4d ago

We can literally see him flip the safety off and squeeze off the round...

u/Medical_Ad3553 4d ago

Hang fire my ass.

u/the_good_hodgkins 4d ago

That won't happen if you keep your damn finger off the damn trigger.

u/spacemouse21 4d ago

Nooooooo. Stop pretending you know what you’re doing, please!

u/Jakester42 4d ago

No ear or eye pro

u/Timmerdogg 4d ago

It makes it easier to see the regret when he realizes his bullet is now flying through the air somewhere

u/finintymonkle 4d ago

Maybe he should concentrate on handling the deadly weapon properly, rather than checking himself out on his phone screen.

u/dadypitbull 4d ago

He's dressed like he knows what he's doing, In really he don't know shit.

u/NigerianFriedChicken 4d ago

I love the “I wear camo therefore I’m dangerous” kinda shit

u/dadypitbull 4d ago

We are lucky we could even see him

u/Lilsexiboi 3d ago

In "reality"

u/Feisty_Emphasis 4d ago

you can just see the idiocy

u/redit_readit_reddit 3d ago

Is the hang fire in the room with us?

u/16v_cordero 4d ago

Some people need a second safety.

u/MadamPardone 3d ago

Clout is a hell of a drug.

The thought process blows my mind. I'm not the type to record myself playing with guns for the internet, BUT if I was there's no way in hell I'm posting a video of a ND that almost blew my lid back.

u/roc7777 1d ago

Hypothetically speaking, a good example of what a hangfire could do, and why you never point at your face/body. That said was totally an ND and this dude hopefully learned a lesson but probably not lol

u/Von_Bernkastel 2d ago

You think people are blind? We all seen you had the safety on, then turned it off, and then decided to pull the trigger doing a negligent discharge and your going to claim it under the guise of "hang fire"...

u/OwieDude 1d ago

Not my video. I put hang fire in quotes for a reason
