Eye protection is key. And then almost none of the idiots wear ear protection, and put on the helmet and bulletproof vest instead lol.
idk what gun channels you watch but every guntuber ive seen at a minimum has in ear pro, as well as usually over the ear protection as well. They take it off when doing their explanations and talking but by that point the firearm is cleared and set down on a table, not actively being fired.
To be clear, I mean the less reputable larpers- the ones I called "idiots". Mostly the manosphere types that periodically show off guns.
I agree, most of the people I've seen that are more a part of the firearm community proper conduct themselves properly around firearms.
That's because it actively hurts your ears if you are firing without ear protection.
I’ve seen enough /morbidreality and the like to know that body armor has a limited success rate. It’s better than nothing, but anything of sufficient energy won’t be stopped, and there’s a lot of unprotected area.
The gravy seals wearing their tacticool wannabe IOTV to the range says a lot about the expected intelligence of the group at the range as a whole.
Well, if you're gonna test equipment, might as well know what it's like to use it in full gear like you most likely would in the field. Can't fault the idiot for that. If he fired it naked, you complain about that too.
Between naked and tactical gear there is a middle ground of just proper ppe like long clothing (stupid to have short sleeves unless you want a nice shell burn) actual safety glasses, maybe gloves
If he fired it naked, you complain about that
I wouldn't 😉
He would be equally pathetic
Sure, my point was someone would crticize him for anything he did.
How fast would this LARPer claim bone spurs when he is called up for military service in the Iran war?
Unfortunately in my experience people like this would be more than willing to go kill others overseas.
Patriotism is an excuse for sociopaths to justify whatever evil shit they have going on in their moldy brains
The major flaw in the second amendment is that it doesn’t account for mental retardation
Americans allowing almost everyone handgun ownership is the stupidest thing ever.
I don't trust 3/4 of the population with a car let alone a handgun.
And similar to guns, they should take old people’s drivers licenses away at a certain age, but they are such a huge voting block, the politicians wouldn’t dare. Plus we have very little public transportation because we spend all our money on war and graft and corruption.
100% that old people should have to take more frequent driver assessment tests. Maybe one at 65 years old. One at 69, one at 73, then every year or two after. You could probably create a simple driving simulator that tests sign reading ability and reaction times.
I've known some older people in their mid 80s with perfectly fine reactive times and mental ability, but I've also known some in their mid 60s who probably should have surrendered their license when they hit 60.
Oh I'm one of those folk who probably should never have been given a license. I'm sure I've gotten better over the years, but that's beside the point, which is that I don't need a license for my trike.
No shit amount of customer at the insurance company I work for over the age of 80 is to fucking high. I talk to a 97 year old yesterday adding a new car. Like who the fuck sells this person a car. They could barely talk to me. I hate to be around them driving.
Darwinian selection. Anyone stupid enough to hang with this douchnozzle, or go to a club so reckless kinda asked to get shot.
Imagine not leaving your weapons clear and safe, pointing downrange
People like him are the reason why not every yokel should be able to own a gun.
Must be American and there’s a bottle of oil on the table.
his 50 cal
There's not many countries where you can own that type of weapon
In USA, anyone can own a flame thrower, completely unregulated. Also, bazookas are legal to own.
Texans am i right
The oil is so he can fuck his gun, right?
Pointed right at that dude's nuts too lmao
To be honest, if you would point it at a wall it wouldnt matter because it would probably shoot through :)
This is why you point it at a hill
Where's his wE tHe PeOpLe tattoo?
