Gangsters videoed their crime boss accidentally blowing his brains out with a handgun during a drink and drugs party, police revealed yesterday.

Philip Collopy, 29, a member of a feuding gang in Limerick, Ireland, apparently did not realise his Glock 9mm pistol was loaded when he pointed it at his head and pulled the trigger in front of shocked onlookers.

Collopy, who was aligned to the Keane-Collopy gang in a long-running gangland feud, had emptied the magazine from the handgun, but there was still a bullet in the chamber.

Investigating police were able to rule out foul play in the death almost immediately, after one of his associates handed over footage of the shooting taken on his mobile phone.

The game of Russian Roulette always ends quickly when played with a Glock.

Good.

I wish more gang members here in the US would try this.

Note to self - after removing clip, be sure to clear chamber before aiming at head and pulling trigger.

Definitely a “hold my beer and watch this” moment.

• Consider all guns always loaded
• Do not point a gun at anything you are not willing to see destroyed
• Keep your finger off the trigger unless you intend to fire

Isn't that a violation of the "never aim the gun at anything you don't want to destroy" rule?

I guess he was the only one professional enough to have a Glock 9.

There once was a gangster named Bock,
Who blew out his brains with a Glock.
It was messy they say,
In a strange sort of way,
So they cleaned up the brains with a sock................

How is this possible? I thought the tough British anti-handgun laws would prevent such as this. /s

Two Irish lads were drinking green beer over St. Patrick's Day at the local pub when one asked the other where his family was from.

"County Cork" replied the other.

"County Cork? Well my family's from County Cork".

"You're kidding" said the second lad. "What age are you?"

"21" replied the first youth.

"That's crazy, so am I" said the second youth. "What school did you attend?"

"St. Patrick's High" said the first youth, "What school did you attend?"

"Why, St. Patrick's meeself. How can it be I don't know ya?"

Down the bar a patron was listening to the conversation and called the bartender over saying "Wow, isn't that something? Two fellows having so much in common."

The bartender replied "Pay not attention to 'em. Them's the O'Leary twins, drunk as usual".

That’s is definitely going to leave a mark. . . . on the wall, on the ceiling and on the floor. The last thing that went through his mind was about 115 grains.
