Is this video footage real? (Soldiers acting foolish -> gunshot wound) [new title]

You’re forgetting William S. Burroughs’ wife.

This sure looks fake to me. But for what it’s worth, I have seen a real video of a cop shooting himself in the leg while conducting a gun safety class.

Yeah, that’s a good one. The guy accidently fires a round into himself with “an empty weapon” and keeps talking about gun safety. Then he asks his assistant to hand him a rifle. The audience is audibly disturbed and one lady yells out “Put it down!”

Cop Shoots Himself in Foot

“See how accidents happen?”

You know no one fact-checks those. A very significant percentage of them are completely fabricated.

ok, so the general concencus is “fake” due to crappy video, cool thanks. :slight_smile:
I didn’t really think too much of the quality, and figured the “training video” part was added on as a joke, but I will say I thought it plausible. Ah well.

I can’t vouch for the veracity of them, but I have had personal experience with several gidgets that would’ve been shoe ins. Well if they had actually died of their stupidity rather than just been injured. Never underestimate teenage idioticy.

I generally never underestimate people’s stupidity.

What exactly looks “fake” about the video? It’s not like it’s a video of a couple guys shooting a dinosaur or anything.
