OT-Idiots with guns? EDIT video pulled
I just HAVE to believe this is fake. If it isn't...

EDIT Apparently they were embarrassed by the widespread negative exposure. I have seen threads about this on at least 4 forums other than this one, but now the link is bad, and I can no longer find it on youtube either.
For those that missed it: imagine an outdoor pistol range, shooters maybe seven yards from the target, shooting live rounds, while a cameraman sits between two targets and takes pictures of the firing line.

Interesting comments below the video. Hope we don't start something similar here...

Hmmmmm. I don't see any slides moving or cases being ejected. Something doesn't look "right" about that video.

Re: OT-Idiots with guns?
There are a couple of pieces of brass if one watches closely, and the slides do move, but it appears as though the shooters in the foreground are only popping off occasional shots. I still think, or at least HOPE, it was somehow faked.

Re: OT-Idiots with guns?
We were talking about this goob over on Castboolits:
I've seen better in my local IDPA club... and I can put my 5 180gr +P++ loads from my SP101 into the 10 ring at that range in considerably less thn 15 seconds...This is James Yeager's school, Tactical Response. "What a maroon" was perfect.
The guy used his experience as a contractor in Iraq to take the leap into training. This was how he responded under pressure, leaving his wounded comrades behind. He's the driver of the lead car that runs away. He was fired for his mistakes, and then went on to bad mouth the company he worked for.

Re: OT-Idiots with guns?
I have ran into allot of these jackass's over in the AOR. When Uncle Sam started using contractors, the bottom feeders came out. They were referred to as chair born rangers and SF wanna be's. Most of the no name companies employed these morons that never had a day of tactical training in there life. if they did, it was taught by an instructor that got is class syllabus from a first person video game. Some of these guys were complete idiots that had no place there. They were the cause of most problems in a few areas with the civilian population.

Re: OT-Idiots with guns?
I think that photographer could get more exciting pictures if he parachuted into a big clay shoot!

But in my 42 Years of shooting I could not imigain anyone running a line with students alowing this to happen. Hope his inshurance is up to date . His school won't be long for the world! J.Michael

Re: OT-Idiots with guns?
Wow???????
Re: OT-Idiots with guns?
When you have multiple people all getting together and using no common sense, it will quickly equal disaster. I see the failure of not just one but many people on that firing line. The one dude to the left of the photographer knows he's wrong and pulls up momentarily to look around, but is carried along by the "everyone is doing it" mindset and starts to shoot again. Terrible!
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
Re: OT-Idiots with guns?
Photographer and shooters are massive bunch of nuts.

Re: OT-Idiots with guns?
IF it is real, than that photographer back there is either the dumbest or the bravest man ever. Maybe both. Some good NRA or military trained instructor needs to go there and remove a bunch of people's heads from their fourth point of contact.

Re: OT-Idiots with guns?
A few weeks ago I finished a shooting school and that idiot would have been asked to leave and anyone who stood up to the line while he was there would also have been asked to leave. We were not even allowed to think stupid while we were in the live fire stage. Acting stupid like that is one reason we just might loose our right to have firearms as if we are that stupid how would we know the bad guy from an innocent bystander.
That is just a plain and totally stupid video and I sure hope they pull his right to teach shooting classes and also hit him with a big fine. They would here in a heart beat as we train right next to the LEO's site and they are always watching what is going on just in case they need to come over and stop something.

I was just thinking (dangerous, I know...), for some REALLY dramatic pictures, how about taking 'em during a night shoot??? Yeah, that's the ticket...
