OT-Idiots with guns? EDIT video pulled

[Otto]

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.

[Otto]

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.

Looks to me we have a candidate for next years Darwin award.

We were talking about this goob over on Castboolits:

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.

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...

just plain stupid

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. Idiots

just plain stupid

Just another "accident" waiting to give us all a bad name. Morons...

[TedH]

Good grief.

[Otto]

Good grief.

Blockheads!

[RSY]

Wow! I thought I'd seen most everything. Now, I know I have.

BTW, it looks real to me.

I think that photographer could get more exciting pictures if he parachuted into a big clay shoot!

[uncowboy]

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

[uncowboy]

This should be under IDOT with a GUN.

[Ysabel Kid]

Agreed on both counts!

[rjohns94]

What are we talking about? is there a link I am suppose to see here?

[madman4570]

Wow???????

[C. Cash]

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!

[DBW]

Photographer and shooters are massive bunch of nuts.

[piller]

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.

[O.S.O.K.]

He mistakenly punched new post instead of reply - for "Idiot with a Gun" thread. Go take a look at it, its unbelievable.

[Gun Smith]

That picture kind of reminds me of jokes about the gene pool.

[shdwlkr]

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.

[Modoc ED]

Blanks fired by the two shooters closest to the idiot with the camera?

[RIHMFIRE]

I would like to see that guy walk away!
He should have worn brown pants

[don Tomás]

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...

A cameraman with a death wish, perhaps? Or just way too trusting?

These guys give Idiots a bad name.

Geeez, guys - there ARE different types of 'cameramen' out there...!

As far as the 'imbecility' factor goes, it makes perfect sense, if the guy is a JOURNALIST...!
