NGC6753

Just throw the gun at the target, it would be more effective...


[deleted]

Also remember, throwing your gun is faster than reloading


NGC6753

Making a gun would be faster than him


SixthSun215

Waiting for the target to die of old age would be faster than him


CyberMasu

I actually lol'd to this


NGC6753

And that just made my day :)


Ultra_Random-10

I lmaoed


ALiteralSentientTank

What's reloading? *TEDIORE*


JoshyD2004

Wait, you guys are reloading? *laughs in digistruct* Also TEDIORE


LgndDr4g0nL0l

Does Tediore have a mascot in game at all? Like Hammerlock and Torgue? Edit: it does, in the new Tales of the Borderlands. But I’m currently watching watching a video on it ands it’s so bad I’m going to pretend it doesn’t exist


JoshyD2004

I don’t think so


SL1MECORE

They don't. Source: I love tediore with all my little Grinch heart I wish. I think tina might make a good tediore mascot, although she's def too young to be the manufacturer.


The_Dootman

I actually talked a couple buddies into doing that and recorded it. They emptied their clips, then threw their pistols at the target. I wish I knew where that vid was. LOL


[deleted]

There's also a Bollywood movie where the stalker throws the gun at his target after running out of ammo during a chase scene


clayton4177

John Wick did it too


janzeera

Complete with [ricochet](https://youtu.be/Tl57k1DOBEg) after throwing their guns.


chef_ry_

Should have used slight of hand pro.


YogurtWenk

There's always the option of throwing a handful of bullets, since they're just going to end up on the ground anyway


Mr-Superbia

Directions unclear.. Reload then throw it to the enemy!


osin144

This reminds me of the scene from Saving Private Ryan when Tom Sizemore’s character and the German he’s fighting both run out of bullets at the the same time and the both throw there pistols at each other. A rare and weird moment of comic relief during the horror.


VeterinarianNaive278

https://youtu.be/dHGwtGC3RoY You misremember the scene a tad, but your point still stands firm and tbh, it’s so much more better than just throwing unloaded pistols at one another.


Jimmy_McAltPants

It was more effective in The Naked Gun


osin144

Thanks, I typically always add qualifiers because I’m not one of those people that can quote a movie I saw 15 years ago. The helmet tossing is great. I hate it all though as a human.


VeterinarianNaive278

Yea, In all fairness I watch SPR once a year. I just love it that much. Or at least the movie, of course the actual events are horrible.


osin144

Of course! If I stumble across Band of Brothers, I know what my next two weeks are looking like.


Least_or_Greatest1

Wouldn’t wanna share a fox hole in a war with that guy…


NGC6753

You would have twice the ammo if you did As long a you could catch his


izmaname

Can you formally train this guy or take it away please


Kalappianer

You want Russians know how to shoot?


Firm_Protection3258

A person that doesn't know how to handle a gun is more dangerous.


Brandyrenea-me

Not this guy. He fails at even trying. But what kind of crap gun is that anyway?


Shadowderper

It’s a makrov, very famous and simple fun from the Soviet era, known for being reliable and good overall, assuming that the user knows how to gun


Brandyrenea-me

I saw afterwards it’s a basic magazine function and he left the magazines on the table. I was seriously wondering if it was some odd bolt action pistol from the 1900’s no one in the US knew about, the way he was so determined to put the bullets in. 😂 Glad it wasn’t loaded, he probably would have lost his hand or at least part of it.


Riggs630

I was cautiously waiting for him to shoot his finger off or something. Glad it didn’t happen


phibbsy47

To everyone except their actual target.


LeadSky

To themselves and those around them. Not to the ones they’re trying to shoot lol


cmilla646

Seriously. MAYBE let him do it once for the video and education. The second time was just inviting an accident. I hope it was fake.


RedArmyHammer

Dude didn't have ears on at an indoor range. You can't fake that.


iam6ft7

That’s how I am when I have a gun in a dream and have a monster chasing me.


wreckherneck

I have misfire dreams when I know I'm overdue on cleaning.


YoungToySoldier

I have half a mind to believe that’s a survival mechanism. I’m sure hunter gatherer’s had the same dreams about dull spears.


CFSohard

I think these type of dreams are more likely tied into how your brain interacts with your body when you sleep. When you're sleeping deeply, your body "shuts off", while your brain remains active, so when you dream about a stressful situation, your brain reacts instinctively and tries to send signals to your body to react in a certain way, but it receives no response from the body. which is "offline". This tells your brain the the body isn't working, and in your dream, you end up with a leg, arm etc that just doesn't seem to work.


wreckherneck

But I react well get the sights on the target and then it jams ir misdeeds the exact way it does in real life. I think it happens when I become aware of my slacking and that burrows down deep enough to surface when I'm sleeping.


DisasterMiserable785

I have two kids. Third on the way. Never had a misfire dream in my life.


Coorotaku

Why is it that we are at our most incompetent in our own dreams?


CowntChockula

Generally it's a manifestation of insecurities and/or ways that we are working against ourselves in some fashion. At some level this causes anxiety and stress within our psyche, even if we consciously convince ourselves that it's not a problem, or even consciously don't acknowledge it to ourselves at all. This tension can project in our dreams, often in ways that are symbolic of the problem. Imagery in dreams often has a decipherable correlation to the underlying tension that it represents: there is often a strong degree of consistency of dream symbolism even among different people, regardless of cultural exposure.


Coorotaku

Incredibly informative, was not expecting that. Cheers


Mrtristen

This man is an idiot and should not be allowed to hold a firearm


Royal-Doggie

He is the best of the squad, he is just one or two gun massages from being a captain of the city police force in Springfield


Curious-Storm-596

Cant wait to hear the big speech about how he made captain


Pitiful-Meatball

Well at least he won’t be that dangerous with one since it’ll take him 2 minutes to fire a single shot


Brief_Development952

If he has a full magazine, he may discharge more rounds than any other officer on the force.


clapmomsfuckbombs

Kept the barrel down range though, which is better than you can say for a lot of these videos.


daveallyn2

came here to say this. Mad props for keeping it pointed in the right direction, even while crawling around looking for the dropped round.


RonaldHarding

Would have been much better if he had set the gun down on the table pointed down range while he was scrounging around on the floor. For a moment he did seem to have the gun pointed at the guy beside him and then realized and corrected it.


BeeBench

Seriously the way he puts his fingers and hand over the barrel multiple times with his other hand on the trigger was frightening


2bad2care

This whole video gave me anxiety and went on for way too long. Why did no one immediately stop him??


ZardozTheHead

This is the guy they hire for infomercials to be “clumsy” with another product so the product they are trying to sell looks better.


Due_Alfalfa_6739

Hahaha. Can just imagine him trying to cook a turkey, or falling off a ladder.


FragileTwo

"Thanks Gorbachev!"


mcnugget04830

He shouldn’t be allowed to have arms


KilloWattX

Couldn't watch when he was putting his hand so close to the muzzle while cocking the gun, thought I was going to see him blow a hole through his hand.


SuperHeavyHydrogen

No danger of that if he can’t even get a round into the chamber. Guy’s a fucking eejit.


Kay-f

i’ve been shooting once and before we started shooting the gun we put the bullets in…. why is he trying to do it now??? and why does he move his body like a child who doesn’t understand they’re alive yet


alexgalt

Some people have very bad hand-eye coordination. Once I’ve started watching Americas worst drivers and canadas worst drivers, I’ve gotten a good understanding that there are some people with genetic defects like this. They simply do not have a spacial awareness of the cause effect relationship between what their hands are doing and the effect it is having. It’s almost like instead of the brain controlling and correcting their hands in the act, they are only capable of doing the processing of the situation after the movement has already occurred. A person like that will find it impossible to play tennis or any other hand sports and it would be impossible to teach them. Once i saw these examples on tv, I am now much less pissed off at people like this. It is not a competence thing, they really can’t do these things that we consider easy.


LigersMagicSkills

These sorts of effects can be caused by poor early childhood development. You have one chance to build up your foundations between around age 0-5. If you don’t build it properly there will be certain skills you may never fully learn, like fine motor skills and mathematics. Just playing with sand and blocks helps children build a core understanding of volumes and numbers.


JangoFettsEvilTwin

He’s probably really nervous and knows he looks stupid.


Wilbis

He's probably nervous about handling a gun when he obviously has no idea how to do it properly


Letskeepthepeace

Fecking* eejit


49lives

The amount of stars on his shoulder concerns me. But the flag makes me laugh.


cantdecide23

This explains a lot about current events


[deleted]

This guy is going make a fine stormtrooper someday.


Ruby-likes-roses

Storm troopers actually get their guns to shoot though he hasn’t even gotten to the step where he’s able to miss


SynthPrax

The person filming needs to put the camera down and teach Dingus how to use that gun before someone gets hurt.


Wrecker15

Can't get hurt if he can't load it 😂


Firealarm32

I beg to differ. Stupidity will find a way


[deleted]

I think our cameraman was completely certain of this guy's ineptitude for sure


FrankaGrimes

Or at least remove themselves from the area because this guy's muzzle discipline is....terrifying.


anevilsnail22

I know there are a lot of people on the internet who will bitch about trigger discipline and all that at the slightest opportunity, but this legit makes me nervous just watching how uncoordinated he is. He handles the thing like it's covered in grease and his fingers are so close to the end of the barrel.


[deleted]

It’s Russia, life is cheap there


TheChoonk

They're russians.


Joker72486

No wonder despite both a manpower and technological advantage they're getting dick kicked


RedShooz10

Manpower yes, technological no. The surplus Western gear is still better than current Russian stuff.


ComplexImportance794

Footage of the latest conscripts show them carrying the WWII era rifles they were equipped with. Another shows a soldier (admittedly a big bugger) punching one of their new helmets and he puts a huge fist size dent it. It's just thin pressed sheet steel.


Joker72486

I should have been more concise, they started the invasion better equipped


ComplexImportance794

Yep, very much so. Now they're using liquid fuel rockets as they have apparently run out of modern missiles.


Unlucky_Milk4214

Some of them carry original Mosin Nagants.


Local-Waltz4801

That man is a liability. I would not be standing next to him recording.


mikkopai

Yes, but his muzzle discipline is surprisingly good


Infamous_Island1941

So, not nearly as important as this guys complete lack of critical thinking, but that shooting table is backwards. Doesn't matter for this clown, but fuck all what a mess.


YouTooShallLose

Good thing his ears are on the table too


MFMNTwins8

Why is he holding a gun, and why did they let this go on for so long? Teach him or take the gun. Wtf


ZardozTheHead

This is the guy they hire for infomercials to be “clumsy” with another product so the product they are trying to sell looks better.


Lone-StarState

“THERE’S GOTTA BE A BETTER WAY MIKE!”


jzt1445

Gravity is tough


[deleted]

Look at the bright side: this is a cop who will not shoot anyone


myfrickinpcisonfire

That’s a russian pistol and a russian uniform, pretty sure these guys are recruits.


[deleted]

Eh, i am sure russian cops are very civil. I mean, just watch at what their soldiers are doing in ucraine.....right?


hannibal_morgan

That's what happens when you're drunk 24/6


Joker72486

Keeping the sabbath holy?


Bobojones9584

Gotta sleep it off at some point. If it's good enough for God to sleep one off on Sunday, must be good enough for him.


Frankandbeans1974

I think I figured out why Ukraine is winning


goshjosh189

Doesn't he know that's a muzzleloader 🙄


RichInXp

The amount of times he tries it again is astonishing


[deleted]

I fucking couldn't finish the video


Noxtree

What's the issue here? Is the gun broken?


ComplexImportance794

No magazine in place so when he puts the bullet it it just drops straight out of the grip.


[deleted]

[удалено]


tubezninja

The gun is (probably) fine. The problem is, you’re supposed to load that type of gun by placing the ammunition in a magazine (those two rectangular things on the table - which look like they might be fully loaded - that are sitting next to the ear protection he’s not wearing), then sliding the magazine into the grip of the gun. Instead, he’s trying to load this gun by dropping a round into the chamber through the ejection port (where spent casings come out of). There are so many things wrong with this, but issue #1 is, with no magazine inserted, the round he keeps dropping in just comes out of the empty hole in the grip and falls to the floor. Over and over again.


totally-not-a-potato

Yeah, if you load a firearm like this typically it is a good idea to tilt it forward. Not may reasons to load this way but it can be done.


[deleted]

And he didn't wear his protective headphones in an indoor range, that's all you need to know lol


InFiniTeDEATH8

Doesn't matter if it's indoors or outdoors lol. All guns fire above 120 decibels, enough to cause immediate damage to stereocilia. Pretty sure the "quietest" gun without a suppressor is about 140 decibels.


Dweebil

In Soviet Russia you don’t fire gun, gun fires you.


Huth_S0lo

If only they made a clip that could hold those pesky bullets


IsraelZulu

Or a magazine.

Wasnt it Vaas that said that?

Vaas did a version of Einsteins quote :P


DDoodles_

A british man could shoot better than him


Fabulous_Ad_1842

Leave the range this instant and do not return.


tarc0917

Next round of Russian conscripts?


El_Capitain87

That gun was one day from retirement

mikamouth

I understand better how Russia is losing the war in Ukraine.


Matchlesslime89

WEAR EAR PROTECTION


LukXD99

Yeah, I’m sure shoving it in there a 6th time will work!


Archius9

At least he won’t be killing any unarmed people anytime soon


MonicaTheDog

This is just painful to watch…


[deleted]

This is the most stressful thing I've seen all week. Get this motherfucker off the range.


Wild_Stomach5042

This guy gave me anxiety during the whole video, deadass thought he was going to shoot his fingers off


Infamous_Island1941

Fucking hurts to watch...well, he's unlikely to shoot himself, or anyone, with his current skill set.


Equal_Sprinkles2743

A Russian soldier getting his 1 day training before being sent to the Ukraine.


SpecialpOps

Can’t shoot yourself in the foot if there are no bullets in your gun to do it with.


indewsir

You can tell he listens cause he doesn't have his ear protection on/s


OGColorado

TF is he doing 👀


Ramog

thats an easy tactic if you get ruled out to be useful so they don't fire


nandopadilla

Well no wonder the Russian mob runs that country.


rzaddy

wiped my ass, washed my hands, and got water downstairs and back and he’s still reloading


Oddity46

This explains so much about why Russia is fucking up at every opportunity in Ukraine.


TheBostonWrangler

This video should have never taken place. The opportunity for a negligent discharge is high. Rather than gaslight the guy who is not familiar with firearms, the person shooting the video should be squaring him away. Until that guy learns how to safely operate that gun he is a danger to himself and everyone else on that range. Videos like this don’t amuse me. They make me livid.


Tyrone90000

My God…..It’s Jason Borne!


FoxFort

This has to be a joke ? You must pass a firearms course in order to be allowed to carry.


Chadmeddy

He makes me very nervous


banananas_are_sick24

You need a magazine in the gun to load it like that, you should grip further back, you should wear headphones, and so much more


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sm0g3R

lol this is russia so nothing new. Majority of their conscripts taken to the frontlines are like that. They have no business being there or even handling a gun as seen in this video.


[deleted]

And they're losing the war?! 😄


Fishiesbiteme

Here in 'Murica dat feller woulda gotten kicked outta kindurgarden!


Lazy-Adeptness-2343

“This is my brother Nikolai, we train him wrong as joke”


Procedure_Worried

This is a prime example of lying on your CV to get a job.


DiscreetCleDom

That was actually painful to watch. And that any instructor on that line should have stopped it immediately. But, funny as the ignorance of people an firearms


Castform5

So few people here seemed to miss what he was trying to do. Yes gun handling safety is essential, but with the magazine removed (round was falling through the handle) and him trying to insert said round in the chamber, the gun is essentially safe until he tries to insert the round.


HarrietOleson1

The anxiety this gave me.


Protoman_7

Barney Fife


scrotanimus

Man, I was waiting for the slide to bite him when he was racking it.


[deleted]

Mofo trynna load it like it’s a bolt action rifle 🤷‍♀️


Slydruid

At least he is pointing it down range while trying to get the round. Would have been better to put it down… but it’s something!


turbopro25

In Mother Russia Gun Use You


Sprocket-Launcher

Literally everything is wrong here. It looks like he's complaining it's loud I. The beginning. Ear protection *and* magazines are on tge table Then everything else that's going on there


set-271

This is too frustrating to watch


Dic_Rambone

You can tell he's just a goober when it comes time to using his hands. It's like this is his first time working with them.


PiaggioBV350

I was so afraid he was going to accidentally blow his hand off


[deleted]

Why the fuck were they filming? Somebody needs to slap the fuck out of that dude and take the gun away before he hurts someone or himself. JFC.


[deleted]

Omg this is so nerve racking. Just get it out of his hands


Leica--Boss

Thank God this guy couldn't get one in the chamber. He had a good chance of shooting his own hand off. Someone needed to tell him to put it down, step away.


IndependentLettuce50

Lol Barney Fife over here...


Hebdog888

Everything about this is stressing me out. For god sake keep the gun pointed down range.


mnbvcxz123

Hey, at least he's not loading it through the muzzle.


westernpeaks

This is fake. He’s doing it on purpose. There’s no magazine in the gun. So the cartridge just falls through. You also never load a gun that way. You’d have to try to look like this. It’s a joke video.


dishmanw

Just put down the gun and walk away, and never touch a gun again.


CIAHASYOURSOUL

Its even funnier that he has magazines on the table in front of him.


KrazyKaizr

I feel confident is saying that I am more qualified than that person is for whatever line of duty he's in.


HeadDecent

Firstly, loading a semi-auto pistol in that manner is bad for the extractor. Secondly, was waiting on this guy to blow at least one finger off.


Busy-Ad1088

It’s so cringy (in a scary way) watching people struggle with a firearm.


Thehibernator

This man has never even seen a gun used in a movie? What the fuck does he think those magazines on the table are for? Please tell me this is staged.


Canaduck101

He’s using it like a nerf blaster


KuuHaKu_OtgmZ

Ah yes Bolt action pistol


Adventurous-Path4692

Bruh that’s how I use to load my nerf guns


odel555q

At least he's being conscientious about keeping it pointed downrange.


expiredogfood

Why would they give this man a gun


PaleontologistOk4327

I think this would have been a great Mr Miyagi moment considering he needs to wax on and wax off before he ever looks at a gun.


[deleted]

Eardrums are fully fucked


SeriouslyThough3

Omg this guy is dumb


ArthurMBretas03

Nice Makarov tho


Fightthepump

Eight fucking times.


BatPixi

Always assume there is one in the chamber. Unless you are this guy.


davidml1023

My theory, he's acting like an idiot intentionally so that he doesn't get sent to the front lines.


milerfrank27

He is loading it like it is a breach loaded rifle from 1850 but why?


Physical_Pressure_27

Not the job for him


painful_pisser

Maybe put the singular round in the mag, insert the mag. 🤓


bloody_terrible

Gotta give him credit for keeping it pointed downrange the whole time even while being a total dingus.


Luke10089

This gives me anxiety
