… the Arab guy firing a rifle at an indoor shooting range? It’s the guy who seems never to have fired a rifle before, with amusing results.
Never mind. I found it at http://www.tje.net/humor/0107/why_palestinians_throw_rocks.mpg
Note that the title is “Why Palestinians throw rocks”. This is a bit unfair, as most Palestinians are not terrorists or trouble makers, and there’s no proof that the individual is Palestinian.
I just find it amusing because it reminds me of my ex-g/f. She was all full of herself when she bought a Winchester Mod. 94 (.30-30). She was being so… uh, “vocal” about it that I decided not to tell her about the recoil. A dirty trick, but…
Oh-my-God. I just laughed my ass off.
He was firing a .577 Caliber T-Rex.
BIG game rifle.
More videos can be seen here. I think this actually the page where it originated from long ago.
Johnny, if you are ever in Texas, the drinks are on me! I’m emailing that link to all my gun nut buddies.
minty: I thought it was pretty funny when I saw it on someone else’s computer. (Hence the request for the link.) I’m glad you liked it. I wonder if non-shooters know what’s going on?
Thanks bernse. Looks like lots of videos there. Too bad they take so long for my computer to d/l them! I did look at “Don’t Poke the Cat”. Was that a woman screaming, or did the ranger’s coice go up a couple of octaves?
I was wondering what the guy in the first video was shooting. I’ve never heard of a .577 T-Rex, but then I’m not a hunter. (My collection would scare the pants off of a lot of people, but I’m non-violent.) I wonder if there’s any video of some schmuck trying to shoot a Barrett .50 from the shoulder? Never heard of it being done, but if it has been I’d suspect the shooter would be living in Hurt World.
Thanks for that link, Johnny LA, that made me laugh out loud. Good thing I work from home today.
It reminds me of the first time I ever fired a rifle. It’s a .30-06 that I bought because I’ve never had a rifle and felt I deserved one , daggammit. I didn’t quite fall over but almost… I’m glad no one else was at the range at the time.
Oh my god. I take it the recoil did that to the door?!!
And was he just unprepared, or was he holding it the wrong way, or does that happen to everyone who fires one?
How big is a Barrett .50, in comparison to what I just watched? Would he now be sitting on the other side of the door without even opening it?
screech-owl
(who hasn’t fired a gun since hitting the broad side of a barn with a musket - and the target was 20 feet to the left of the barn)
