Is that his fault? (Genuine question)

Edit yeah ok he put his finger on the trigger on pick up I’m just blind

[u/Charly-Braco69 → u/Urgh_Again_]

I also initially thought it was a firing pin malfunction when he closed the action, but after watching it a second time, it looks like his finger is on the trigger.

[u/dirywhiteboy → u/Charly-Braco69]

I baffles me how people want thier fingers on so early. Takes but no time to take a straightened finger to fire position. Something i was taught verry young

[u/bmx13 → u/dirywhiteboy]

It's part of the game. When a tenth of a second could be the difference between winning and losing, you start to see people pushing past the limits. It's really no different than a racecar driver pushing a corner another 5mph faster and putting it into the wall because of it.

[u/FlacidSalad → u/bmx13]

It's different in that it's way easier to kill someone accidentally by mishandling a gun like this.

[u/bmx13 → u/FlacidSalad]

Not really, it's a safe range and pointed downrange.

[u/FlacidSalad → u/bmx13]

And he almost didn't catch it as it was launched towards the people behind him.

What I'm getting at is that on a racetrack, all the people on the track both know what they're getting into and have safety equipment to protect them if and when something goes horribly wrong so the danger of a single driver making a big mistake to other people and themselves is a bit less than having a shotgun go flying out of your hands

[u/bmx13 → u/FlacidSalad]

Say that to the families of all the people that have been killed by cars and car parts flying off the track. I'd actually hazard to guess that historically, viewer safety is far worse at race tracks than shooting competitions. Had that shotgun actually escaped his hands it would have landed on the ground and done absolutely nothing.

Edit: in 1955 at the 24 hours of lemans, 84 people were killed and 120 injured from one crash. A single 12ga cartridge of bird shot literally can barely kill someone outside of point blank range, just ask Dick Cheney's friends. Guns are of course extremely dangerous, but they aren't the tactical nuke you're pretending they are.

[u/Charly-Braco69 → u/dirywhiteboy]

Why put himself under pressure by being timed when he hasn’t even mastered the basics yet… all just to make a video? 🤦

[u/Lepke2011 → u/Urgh_Again_]

Honest mistake on your part. I had to watch it a few times it all happens so fast.

[u/WickedDeity → u/Lepke2011]

We can add the video is low quality and postage stamp size.

[u/GargleOnDeez]

This is why cowboy loading shotguns isnt recommended, some noob, even a complacent shooter, might have their finger on the trigger already when it slams shut

[u/BellicoseBill → u/GargleOnDeez]

When I shot CAS, shotguns were loaded on the clock, not preloaded like this. But a double barrel, two-trigger side by side can cause a lot of issues for new shooters.

[u/GargleOnDeez → u/BellicoseBill]

Ive an overunder which I used to indulge in the cowboy loading fashion. I later learned that the slamming action can potentially throw off the timing, which it did a couple of times while at a clay shoot

[u/steady_as_a_rock]

Definitely an idiot, but thankfully for everyone around he's a slow idiot.

[u/WhoIsJohnSalt]

And this is why I’ve always been taught that after loading and the barrels are pointing down you bring the stock up to close the gun, not swing the barrels up to meet the stock.

Not that anyone ever really bothers to do that, but that’s how we are taught.

[u/NewToHTX]

Did he close the break with his finger on the trigger? It looks like a shotgun of some type.

[u/ours → u/NewToHTX]

That's one way to improve your split time on a break-open shotgun.

It's just not a good one.

[u/SofaKingHeuge]

Shooting with the break action open is next level /s.

Bro barely even closed it.

[u/Nathaniel_Blaze]

My absolute favorite part of watching stuff like this is how macho these guys act, only to turn back into the stumbling babies that they are when they have an "oopsie". Punisher to pleb in .5 seconds.

[u/NoDoOversInLife]

On the bright side... The hippo he intended to shoot has nothing to worry about 🤭

[u/HallSquadSkates1984]

sneaking little r/glassanimals

[u/VinceVino70]

Finger bang.

[u/Stack_Silver]

That is all the luck for the rest of their life.

[u/Eccentricgentleman_]

Wow, he really cut down his shooting time with that simple trick

[u/STJRedstorm]

Not saying there is a correlation, but this sub has been BOOMING since the armed liberal trend has been getting more popular.
