Here's some Grade-A Stupidity.

You could have easily used a mannequin or something else to illustrate that point. To use a live person is the epitome of dumb. As firearms enthusiasts we should always strive to promote a good image. Shit like this doesn't help.

The sad thing about this video is that it does illustrate, quite stupidly in my opinion, a few myths of guns that have been propagated by Hollywood and the entertainment industry. First, being shot with most any firearm isn't going to lift you up and throw you 100 feet. For those not in the known, a .308 is one hell of a cartridge. And a rifle is exponentially more powerful than a handgun so the movie scene where Dirty Harry shoots a guy at 30 feet and the guy goes flying through drywall is a complete fallacy.

I'd also like to point out that, at POINT BLANK RANGE with the rifle, neither one of those shots hit center mass. Notice how Idiot #2 doesn't aim but rather (to steal a Brady Campaign to Spew Misinformation) 'sprayed from the hip'. Even only a foot or so away, he comes dangerously close to missing. In the movies, the hero alway manages to put the bullet exactly where he wants while diving behind cover. Sorry, but if you don't aim, you don't generally hit anything, especially what you'd like to. Idjit #2 illustrates this point quite nicely.

Hat Tip Say Uncle, who you shouldn't vote for.
