wedding

Starts at around 1:50:

It appears that in Russia ties are optional at weddings, but at least one AK is required.

I’m thinking they might be blanks though, considering it’s not that dark out and the camera is picking up more flash then you normally would see. Also the sound doesn’t seem to be that loud (hard to tell though for sure with a little camera mic).

I was waiting for that guy to break into the Arrested Development Gob Chicken Dance, but it never happened. :(

Gives a new meaning to spray and pray:

Apparently shooting guns off in celebration is common practice at weddings in the Middle East. Try using both hands next time dumbass.

After he finishes shooting, what he’s says is roughly translated as “My bad guys… my bad!”

An actual wedding invitation:

The young couple (pictured) commissioned artist manuel morgado for the job.

Sure beats the usual pastel colors with text in script like we are used to seeing on wedding invitations!

A wedding photographer in Sicily was accidentally killed when he asked the prospective bride and groom to pose for a picture using hunting rifles as props – and one of them went off

Full story – HERE

Terrible that the photographer lost his life. As usual the news outlets are touting it as an “accident”… it’s not an accident when you treat a gun as a toy (or prop in this case) and don’t do something as basic as checking to see that they are unloaded and rendered safe.  If the photographer wasn’t familiar with guns he should have told the couple that he was not comfortable that he would be safe, and then declined to do that part of the shoot.

Thanks to Josh T for the first pic in the post.  Hilarious job.

It’s called Kaba Kick:

The player points the gun at his or her own head and pulls the trigger.  Instead of bullets, a pair of feet kick out from the barrel (which is shaped like a pink hippo).  If the gun doesn’t fire the player earns points.

Wow, great game.  That’ll teach them some life skills they could apply if they ever were to come in contact with a real gun  :roll:

Maybe the Russian wedding guest that shot himself recently had a Kaba Kick he was used to playing with.

I searched amazon, ebay, half, craiglist etc… and couldn’t come up with a place to buy one.  Hopefully that means they are discontinued and extremely rare.

You’d think that since Russians apparently invented the stupid “game”, they would know how it works.

You can’t put one round in the magazine of an autoloader, and not expect it to fire after you rack the slide and pull the trigger.

After watching the video, this is how I believe it went down:

20 seconds – Guy #1 is carrying the gun (a Makarov PM) in some type of small (pocket?) holster.

23 seconds – Guy #1 removes holster and throws it onto the table.

24 seconds – Guy #1 pretends to load the gun by racking the slide, but only pulls it back slightly, so no bullet chambers.

29 seconds – You can tell that Guy #1 does not pull the trigger.  The sound you hear is likely him clicking the slide mounted safety off.

32 seconds – Guy #1 racks the slide and puts a round into the chamber.

35 seconds – Guy #2 pulls trigger and discharges round into his head, as 2 of the onlookers realize he does not know the “click the safety for the sound” trick  :roll:

I would never in a million years consider doing anything so stupid with a gun. “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” as they say.

As usual, Jeff Cooper‘s rules apply here.. most relevant are #1 and #2:

  1. All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
  2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. (For those who insist that this particular gun is unloaded, see Rule 1.)
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target. This is the Golden Rule. Its violation is directly responsible for about 60 percent of inadvertent discharges.
  4. Identify your target, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you have not positively identified.
