want some good advice? don't press the trigger while pointing a gun at your face...

I should have really payed more attention to that…

while making a spud gun, i did just that. it wasn’t working, so we took off the barel to check if the spark was still working in the chamber. Knowing full well that there was gas in there, i waited till i couldn’t smell gas anymore, just to be “safe” before looking directly into it and pressing thee ignition switch.
‘Click’… it made a spark, horray… so i pressed it a couple more times just to make sure
‘Click’
‘Click’
BOOM!!!
No more eyelashes and severly thinned eyebrows now, luckily no burns to speak of…could i be any stupider? holy crap…

Are you sure your okay?
Let me know when you are okay enough for me to laugh.
I’m sorry, I have seen that done before witha gas grill and it wasn’t funny untill a few days later. It was actually quite scary.

This is exactly how the herd gets thinned!

Close one, glad you made the cut.

don’t worry bout laughing at me, just after i did it my friend fell on his ass laughing, got up to see if i needed to go to the hospital or something, then started rolling over laughing again… i can laugh now, seeing as im alive with no real major side effects… so laugh all u want, ya bastard :slight_smile:

I will always remember those words of wisdom. Hey, you’re lucky there wasn’t a bullet in it. That’s why guns do kill people, not just people kill people.

Uhhh…yeah. Who looked down the barrel and pulled the trigger? The gun, or the person?

You got off lucky, Wump. Be thankful, and let us know when you don’t look like one of the Thompson Twins (they shaved their eyebrows).

Just curious, but is your User Name based on the sound the gun made when it went off?

You know…

KA-WUMP!

Just askin’

We did the same sort of thing with beer bottle and a camp fire.

“I wonder what would happen if we put a full beer bottle in the fire.”
“Probably not a good idea.”
“Probably not.”
“Hey look, it’s starting to fizz.”
“Look out it’s going to expl…”

Big bang. Lots of smoke and wet ash and soot. Nobody hurt.

HA HA HA HA HA :D. These kinds of things crack me up. Just thank G-d that your not a Darwin award candidate now.

“You boys smokin’?”
“Yessir. If you’d come by a few minutes ago you could’ve seen us while we were still on fire.”

Think of it as a vaccination to increase your gene pool’s resistance to chlorine.
