Let's just pray that those two never reproduce! I don't think I would trust their offspring with a squirt gun.

Can't blame her, he wanted that to happen.

Stupid...
The idea is to get novices INTERESTED in the shooting sports,not dissuade them.He could jist have ruined someone from becomming an avid shooter and supporter of the RTKBA...

[jashoffa]

boyfriend is dumbass I agree. I do think it was two shots, two clouds of smoke and two sounds of the gun firing. In the slow motion portion it looks like two shots to me. JMHO

I once sold a 44 Mag Super Blackhawk to a 'friend' who lives in another state, assured he would register it in his name as this state is a holdout on rights.
He consistently reloaded hot rounds to shoot on his property.
He would let guests shoot it and get a kick out of it when it recoiled and hit themselves in the forehead with it.
When he told me this I asked again that he would register it in his name so I wouldnt get sued if I thought that was possible.
He said he didnt have to. I then offered to trade it back to me for a shotgun that he always drooled over, he couldnt pass that up so I regained the possession of the 44.
He was kind of ticked off about the deal and met me in a parking lot and he had some big burly backup guy with him.
He is short, struts around like a Bandy rooster, and 'knows' everything.
I had to teach him to shoot off a rest as he always rested the barrel on an object and downforce sprang the barrel up, lousy groups!
He was amazed when I showed him to rest the forestock, not the barrel. LOL!
He was a coworker too and would screw up stuff for anybody should come behind him working on commercial HVAC.
I guess he was a 'smart' Dumbass,LOL!

I remember hearing about a young boy that shot and killed himself like this with an Uzi at a machine gun shoot.

When S&W released the 500S&W Mag there were reports of double taps and people were sending them back to S&W thinking something was wrong with them. However the recoil was causing those who were limp wristing the pistol to try and regain control of the pistol and would squeeze the trigger again. I have seen a few videos of it on youtube and I do believe an article was written about it in a Gun mag.

Nobody's gonna dispute that. What gets me with these videos is not so much the actual event, altho that's bad enough. It's the idiot walking towards the camera with this stupid-ass grin, like it's all fun and games.

I gotta quit watching these dang things.

[dodge310]

I watched this numerous times. I only see and hear one shot. There is what sounds like a second shot, but that is actually echo from the first shot.

It looks to be a 500mag. She definately isn't use to shooting anything that powerful. But, she didn't come close to shooting herself. Breaking a wrist or hitting herself in the head was definately a possibility.

No, I mean, physically, what in the hell happened that allowed the revolver to flip completely around to face the user, then fire again? I don't even see how that works.

Go back and watch the video one frame at a time. It did not flip around and face the shooter directly.
The recoil flipped the gun up, then it swung down going forward and then went back toward the shooter a little, all in all not good.
Or look at it like this. The girl is holding the gun with a clock superimposed over it. The gun is pointing to 10 oclock. It goes off and the recoil (and this is what I saw and heard when I watched this) throws the barrel up to 12oclock where the gun goes off again. The shooter has a good grip on the gun and is trying to control it.( I would guess that this gun is a 44mag or a 454 casule. The shooter has little to no experience with guns but know enough to keep the gun pointed away from people.) The gun swings quickly down to 6oclock and then past it to 5 or 4:30 pointing the barrel in the direction of her foot.

As stated this is a bunch of a holes thinking it is cool letting some one who is not ready for a large caliber gun shoot one. Not sure what I would have done if I had been there. But that was not a cool thing to do.

[woody1981]

Is this a SW 500? It looks like it. That firearm has a history of double strikes, but is that what happened here. I've googled sw 500 and double strikes and got some frightening videos.

[jashoffa]

I think it is a 500 but no way to know for sure I guess.

[deadzero]

I just don't understand the double strike concept on a wheel gun. you have to completely back off the trigger, and pull completely thru the long double action pull a second time to fire the next round. In the case of very heavy recoil, they aint relaxing nothing, their just trying to hold on.

[FrostShell]

It really looks like she shoots herself in the chest on the supposed second shot. But considering it was a 500 she probably would have split in half if it actually happened, heh.

[SightNSqueeze]

Regardless of whether the revolver was a .500 or not, it was a heavy caliber weapon and that girl obviously never pulled a trigger in her life. She should not have started out on anything greater than .38 special target loads out of a medium frame revolver like a S&W Model-10, Ruger 6 [series], GP-100, or equivalent. The whole video was a set up by a couple of nitwits who wanted to have something "funny" to put on YouTube. Instead they showed their giggling asses for all to see. I guess "gun control" was really made for "them" before it mutated into what we have now. I hope they find this site and read all we've been saying about them.

[Cyrano]

I'm not sure how experienced the girl was, but she surely wasn't ready for that big wheelgun. I'm guessing it's a S&W .500 with an 8 3/4 inch barrel. Why else would she need her boyfriend bracing her shoulder blades? Even the legendary .44 Magnum S&W Model 29 with an 8/34 inch barrel has manageable recoil.

The kind of jackassery that girl was made the butt of is the kind of thing that A) turns people off pistol shooting and B) is used by the anti-gunners to prove people can't be trusted with guns. The nitwitted boyfriend did neither his girl nor the cause of gun ownership good service first, by pull that little gag; and second, by being stupid enough to post where anybody can find it.

[Winchester '97]

first off, it only fired once, and 2nd, its not likely, but what if she wanted to shoot the big gun, having only shot 9mm/45 etc, and was not prepared for the recoil. ive seen similar things happen to people with 10,000+ rounds experience with smaller handguns, you just dont think that thing could kick THAT much until you actually shot it.

[woody1981]

Win, you are right, things like that happen. But in this case it seems that her "friend" set her up for this, and that as you say she was not prepared for the recoil.

[DaTeacha]

I see one shot followed by two replays and they screwed up the editing so you don't hear the same echo each time. I think she moves the left hand to her body because it got hurt when the gun went off and broke free of it. If you watch it closely, it looks like she is given the gun with the hammer already cocked. Then she puts her left thumb right behind the cylinder. When it goes off and broke her grip, it was probably because the cylinder smacked into that thumb and opened her hand.

[littleman]

Some body was trying to turn this girl off to guns, whether he intended to or not. We need more gun fans, not gun foes.
