Shooting a 1911 Pistol Wrapped With Rubber Bands
AShooting Journal ^ | 6/23/2016 | MattV

That's Rubber Bands

What happens if you wrap a Ruger SR1911 pistol with Rubber Bands? How many rubber bands will it take to cause the 1911 pistol to malfunction? Is one rubber band powerful enough to stop the slide from functioning properly? Will this create an over pressure situation and kaboom the 1911 pistol? This has been suggested by viewers on multiple occasions and seemed like a fun video to do! This is a wacky function test.

Here's a short video transcript
We’re gonna see how many rubber bands it takes to disable this glock. So put in a comment below to see how many you think it’s gonna take. So what I mean is, we put a rubberband on it or two or three, then we test and see if it still functions properly, like cycles. So we’ve got two rubberbands here. Oh this is dangerous. Note that I am not putting any part of my body in front of the muzzle. That would be crazy-dangeorus.

So, lookit that. We have rubber bands, two of them wrapped twice, around the muzzle of this glock-teen-11. So let’s shoot this badboy and see if it functions, and chambers a new roundazine.

Oh this is so dangerous. Let's do this. This is a scary gun, kind of a real man’s gun. Oh it didn’t shoot! Oh it’s got one of those stupid safety things there, let’s take that off.

[bang] Oh lookit that, it worked. It chambered a new roundazine. We're gonna engage our safety. When you engage a safety on your gun, it effectivly means you can stop using your brain. It enders your gun into toy status. (That's not true, don't believe that. Always shoot your firearm like it's crazy dangerous). See the full video here.

” a Ruger SR1911 pistol “
“see how many rubber bands it takes to disable this glock”
“We’re gonna engage our safety. “

Typical idiot reporter doesn’t know the difference between a Ruger and a Glock. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he knows the difference between a revolver and a semi.

This reminds me of something my grandfather taught me when I was 12 years old and he was teaching me to shoot.

I remember him saying, very slowly and very clearly as he looked straight in my eyes.

He said "GUNS ARE NOT TOYS"...

“Note that I am not putting any part of my body in front of the muzzle.”
As apposed to it’s OK to put any part of your body in front of the muzzle with no rubber bands on the gun?

Next try instant glue. See how many tubes it takes to freeze up the slide.

I couple drops in the firing pin hole would be all it takes to make it go click instead of bang

I like revolvers.

So do I. There's nothing quite like shooting a nice, slick S&W revolver. I also have a "revolver" that shoots rubber bands. Much fun around the house.

“The 1911. It’s like a Glock, but for men.”

The 1911 is an obsolete relic that must have the original design butchered to feed hollowpoints.

1911 is hands down the best sidearm ever invented. To say otherwise is nothing but sheer ignorance or jealousy or both.

Someone may also have shrapnel in their face if they try this stupid stunt.
