Holy Shrapnel! Man almost loses his head after blowing up a Truck
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 2/23/2017 | J Hines

Posted on 02/23/2017 6:27:33 AM PST by w1n1

Having fun with tannernite, trucks and guns, but this guy took this fun into another level of excitement for the sake of disregarding safety. Be warned, do not try this at home.

This fella Audrius Litva from Facebook video taped himself shooting at a truck with tannernite. Looked very cool, but he was very lucky not to get hit with a piece of shrapnel that flew by.

Shooting explosives and tannerite is a great way to pass time with some friends, but be sure you run through all safety precautions before pulling the trigger.

Always shoot at a generously safe distance. Unfortunately, many injuries due to this kind of carelessness could someday lead to a ban on explosives for all of us. See the footage here.

What an idiot. WAY too close for that sort of thing.

Hell, I stand further back shooting steel with a rifle, never mind Tannerite!

Somewhere on these interwebs, a moron has packed a riding lawn mower with tannerite. I think his leg gets cut off.

what’s funny.... the guy doesn’t even appear to know how close he came to dying. He was looking through the scope at the time and probably completely missed the large piece of metal that nearly took his head off.

that sentence makes no sense. If you use tape, you are taping yourself TO something.

Ok, I’m being intentionally obtuse, but how long are the nitwits in the press going to continue to use this archaic terminology?

He RECORDED himself shooting.

Wow, I’ve done stupid things, and would probably do this if the opportunity presented itself, but from 2- 300 yards out AT LEAST, firing prone from a shallow trench through a narrow slit of several rows of sandbags in front of me.

That’s the Fake Russian guy; he was lucky.

This guy was even luckier with a .50cak richochet:

As a noun, “tape” works. But as a verb, it’s usefulness started when BASF started selling tape to record and ended when pretty much the whole world went to audio and video recording digitally.

For the record, I collect cassette tapes and a couple hundred of them are unopened blank tapes, so I do actually “tape” things sometimes. :-)

That tumbling piece of metal in the right side of the picture almost hit him.

“so I do actually “tape” things “

Once you ‘tape’ something, it becomes a record.

First it becomes a recording. :-)

If I create a laquer version, create a stamper and then use the stamper to squish a piece of soft vinyl, THEN it becomes a record. :)
