Did anybody else notice something right off the bat?
And we used to be scared of the Russians. :smack:
If you’re referring to the tiny thumbnail image, then yes. I used to use that as a joke.
Yup. He’s not playing right.
Potential Darwin Award nominee.
Yes
never wear a white shirt when playing 
but really an automatic?
because you’re hoping for a miraculous dud.
Is the video real?
Why did they hand a loaded gun to that guy?
I don’t get it 
Playing Russian Roulette with an automatic is idiotic?
Clearly, it’s Russians who should be scared of Russians. 
It’s a pistol, not a revolver. There is only one chamber. Either you loaded the chamber, in which case you have a 99.99% chance of getting shot, or you didn’t, in which case you were never in danger. So it’s more a test of how good your memory of loading the chamber is.
OK. Thanks for fighting my ignorance there.
I was looking for something more subtle than the obvious.
Sometimes the stupid is right out there for all to see. Even my wife (who knows almost nothing about guns) caught this one the second she saw it.
Drunk Russians, helloooo McFly!?
I don’t actually find the video funny, neither I feel much pity for the fool because he could had just as easily shoot someone else at the party.
Yeah, I don’t know much about guns, but I know you’re supposed to use a revolver for this stunt. When the first guy takes the gun away from his head, he does something to the gun before handing it over to the second guy - did that chamber a round?
It almost looks like he figures the second guy just wants to hold the gun (and wouldn’t be stupid enough to try it), then tries to grab away the gun before the trigger is pulled.
He pulled the slide which cycled the gun. If there was a round in the magazine, the round was inserted into the chamber by his action.
I’d say you’re not supposed to use a revolver neither.
But doesn’t it look like the first guy faked racking the slide before he pulled trigger on himself? Almost seems he was trying to kill the other guy (if this is real).
It is real. It made the news back in March. The wedding guest was very seriously injured. It was supposed to be sort of like a magic trick, the other guy was not supposed to do anything with the gun.
Here’s one link, but I think there are others that are more detailed.
ETA: The bullet was rubber, but it entered the victim’s skull and he has been paralysed, the guy who brought the gun for the trick was arrested.
Wait, very seriously injured? So he survived? Kudos on an impressive trick.
