Don't try this at the Range
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 7/19/2017 | E Nestor

Well, different strokes for different folks… This shocking gun range fail video will make you cringe.

Gun range safety is no laughing matter, although these Russian fellows in a Facebook video shared by Pop smoke sure seem to think so.

Watching this video, I just want to scream at the monitor. With fellow shooters downrange, other shooters fire off rounds into their targets. Afterwards, the shooters all have a good laugh. How is this funny?!

They are dealing with firearms that need to be used and respected for their power and lasting affects. This is not airsoft. This is high-velocity lead projectiles that can and do ricochet. See the full un-safe range footage here.

How will Big Media and the leftist freaks fit this into today’s anti-Trump RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA narrative?

When you read about an accidental shooting and wonder how it possibly could have happened, this how.

This all probably started with the directive, “Here, hold my beer.”

No, this was in Russia, so it was: "Вот, держи мою водку"

Probably the same bunch of dumb asses that would pack a 1911 with mud, then marvel at the fact that it jammed.

Are those humans or mannequins standing on either side of the shooter's target?

I'm at work and can't view the vid. My company considers anything gun related on the web to be a High Risk Website to their network. Oh well. Back to work.

Vodka must have pickled the entire cerebral cortex, there is not one functional neuron on display here, on either side of the field.

I thought “pivo” is Russian for beer.

Anyway, before 1917 electric lighting in Russia was still a novelty to some. Officers gathered in a ballroom or somewhere and when the vodka was in, the lights went out whereupon they drew their revolvers and fired wildly in all directions in the darkness.

When the lights came back on, usually there were no casualties. But small wonder that in those days Russians were often called “baptized bears”.

Thanks - I’m glad I’m not the only one that saw it that way.
