This Barrel Explosion is just scary. While the barrel is designed to fail above a certain pressure these guys still could have been seriously hurt. This is a scary example of gun handling. This is how someone loses an eye (no safety glasses), a hand, or worse case their life.
These guys are not experienced gun owners. How do I know? Because they are leaning over the water with no eye protection! No Ear Protection! No way they expected this Barrel Explosion!
Eventually these guys are going to lose the play stupid games get hurt lottery.
Why do I show these videos? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.
Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:
- Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
- Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until it is time to shoot.
- Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.
What is the rule violation? Clearly this is a violation of Rule 1. Because putting a long gun barrel in the water does not qualify as a safe direction.
Lastly, be safe out there! Because if you keep rolling the dice like this eventually you are going to lose.
