I always knew Jesus would use a Barrett M95.

That picture perfectly compliments my “Biblical Magpul Dynamics” photoshop from a few months back.

The same “15 yard sniper” from my previous post on the shooting of the iPhone, iPad, and iMac is back at it again with his Barrett M81A1:

If for nothing else, you need to watch the slow motion footage at 1:09.

Watching it in 1080p is a must!  Then back pull the slider back to watch the watermelon re-assemble.

Funny because it’s true. hehheh

Apparently the first post I made about the iPhone 4 Shot With .50 Caliber Rifle was just a teaser video… below is the extended video along with the other vids of the Apple products getting destroyed:

iPhone 4 Shot With .50 Caliber Rifle

iPad V.S. .50 Caliber Rifle

iMac V.S. .50 Caliber Rifle

I was hoping that kid doing the talking “Richard Ryan” was going to do the shooting and scope his eye or something… no luck.

The nicest hit by far was on the iMac. I don’t know where that “Sniper” learned to shoot, but the hit on the iPad and iPhone was not impressive at all considering at the distance he was at:

Very anticlimactic:

Not to mention the fact that it was a shitty shot.  I think a lot of people over estimate their shooting ability when making videos like this. Who knows how far back he was?  Obviously too far, considering he hit the phone in the bottom right corner.

I think if I was going to destroy a $300 phone I’d at least have a few different camera angles.

According to the description in the video, the rifle used was a Barrett M82A1:

The 39-year-old victim was walking down the street when he realized he had been shot. The bullet knocked a tooth out, but did not penetrate the man’s mouth and he was able to spit the bullet out, Kubiak said.

I wonder what caliber it was, and it the shot was intended for him, or if he caught a ricochet?

The .45 caliber fanboys are going to claim it was definitely a 9mm

A fact some of you may find interesting… when 50 cent was shot 9 times on April 24, 2000 by an assailant armed with a 9mm handgun, one of the shots went through his left cheek and knocked his wisdom tooth out.  His voice has had a distinct slur ever since.

While mounting the M2 machine gun onto the turret system of his MATV during pre-combat checks, this soldier experienced difficulty inserting the locking pin on the MOD 93 machine gun mount.  The soldier then attempted to force the locking pin into place with a rock. After this failed, he then secured a loose .50 cal. round, using it to hammer at the locking pin, attempting to force the locking pin into place.  After several hits with the .50 cal. round, the primer activated, setting the round off in the soldier’s hand. Extensive injuries were suffered to his right hand, middle, ring and pinky finger.

See the official weapons safety message memo – HERE
*Warning Very Graphic*

It’s really unfortunate when Darwin comes for soldiers… but hitting a live round? COME ON.. how does he think his machine gun fires?  This incident would have been a bit more understandable if it occurred in the heat of combat, but the memo specifically states the soldier was mounting the M2 onto the turret, pre-combat.

On the bright side, I guess he get a ticket out of Trashcanistan.

Officers made the decision that the deer was a public safety issue:

Police reportedly received dozens of complaints from the public after the shooting. Internal affairs investigators will look at whether police followed department regulations and policies regarding taking an animal into protective custody and dealing with an animal that could be injured, police said.
During the incident, police contacted the state Department of Fish & Game, but the warden overseeing the area was more than 30 minutes away, said Fish & Game spokesman Kyle Orr, and the officers thought they had to act sooner than that.

Good call guys.. that deer was a menace!

Wow… once again thank god for cameras.

Try as they will, other cartridges will never be this cool:

By gluing on magnum rifle primers!

Pretty awesome upgrade for the low price of primers, if all you have for a gun is an air rifle.

I wonder if you need to shoot at a hard surface to set it off, or if small varmints would cause the primer to ignite as well?   I know some primers are pretty sensitive.

I wish I would have known about this upgrade as a kid back in my daisy air rifle days.
 

A YouTube demonstration:

The pellet used in the video is a .22 pellet, with the open end of the primer facing forward.

I don’t know if “regular” .177 caliber pellets would work as well. The small rifle magnum primers may be too big. I don’t reload, but I’m sure smaller primers are available if needed.

Lakeland, Florida – A Lakeland Police Department civilian employee accidentally shot himself through the hand Friday while handling an officer’s gun, police said.

When Waterman parked outside the police station and went inside to use the restroom, Ramirez took the officer’s department-issued back-up gun, a .45-caliber glock, out of the car’s glove box.

He was looking at the gun when it accidentally fired, shooting him through the hand, police said.

If there is one thing I hate, it’s when guns decide to shoot when you’re just looking at them *sarcasm*

I have about 6 more pictures, but its not as fun if I post them all at once

Enjoy!

I’d like to see these in a lineup like the recent posts I made on rifle ammo and handgun ammo.

I have absolutely no idea what approximately 80/100 of these are used for.

If your monitor is small, it won’t expand to its full size.  You should “save as…” to download it to view it in all its glory.

Quite the collection.

Awesome reference.

Sadly, this little guy probably shoots better than I do:

I caught a glimpse of an IPSC patch a couple places in the video. I don’t know if this in the U.S. or not.

That kid can sure handle a .45 without any issue though. I wonder how he scored?

This is a gun board classic:

After some years now of reading internet bulletin boards, I think I’ve got the pros and cons of possible SHTF rifle choices figured out. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the following is my analysis based upon the wisdom of numerous gun board gurus (you know them, they’re always the first ones to tell you a particular model gun is “junk” and enlighten you as to why they have made the only logical purchases)…

The AR 15:

Great, awesome, unbelievable rifle(when it works). Can hit a fly in the butt at 300 yards (when it works). If one is ever attacked by a pack of feral poodles post-SHTF, this is the perfect defensive rifle (unless it jams, in which case you’re poodle food). The upside is that one can hang more plastic aftermarket doo-dads on it than a Christmas tree, which may effectively frighten away bad guys when the gun jams. Also, by simply changing the upper, one can convert it into a Ruger 10/22.

The MINI-14:

Could be a good rifle, but it’s not black.

Pretty awesome animation.  I assume it was done in Blender or 3d Studio Max judging by the reflections.
