first!
wow even though i think people who do that are douches, that still was gratifying to do
At least you know you are a douche.
It’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it…
ALMOST COMPLETE FAIL.
It’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta douche it…
It’s a tough job but Someone’s gonna douche it.
Is everybody all right?
douching is always tough. And messy.
It is all about timing, no?
If you can’t get the first you might as well dis those who do, but when the possibility for a first is there, go grab it
A really good “first” is written by persons who think of something witty or sarcastic to say in a very short amount of time. This is something that requires more brain cell usage than inserting thumb into rectal cavity.
yes because randomly appearing at the right place at the right time makes youso special. kinda reminds me of the way punk@$$ ganstas tag their territory…
Anybody else REALLY worried for that guy when they were watching, knowing this was going to be a “gun safety fail”?
Are you seriously asking that after the last video where the infant shot the dad?
I knew failblog likes to steal vids but they could have at least stolen the whole thing. The vid cuts off before he starts limping out of the room and talking about how he just shot himself in the foot.
Worried for him? No
Hopefully expectant? Yes
What a moron! Why would you even use a loaded gun for such a demonstration!? Wouldn’t you check, double check and triple check!? Even after that, you’d obey gun safety rule #1 “Always treat a gun as if it is loaded!”
I had an uncle that we had to treat that way (as if he were loaded). We were right 99% of the time.
Lol’d.
That’s more than half!
reference win
OMGRLLY?
(yes I saw that pic, I’m being sarcastic…)
Dead joke fail.
un-related reference to previous post comment FAIL
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, WIN!!!!!!!
Previous fail win!
lol, still funny!
Reference Win!
LOL ….. Thats a joke WIN!!
I don’t know, it could be a good “Scared Straight”-esque ploy if you knew it was loaded, and “accidentally” shot it in the air after saying it was unloaded, then pointing out that you never know if a gun is loaded.
Then you need to stop buying your bullets from Schrodinger’s Ammunition Imporium.
*Hands pob an ‘e’*
*smooches*
Loz gets her “e’s” from Heisenberg’s Spelling Uncertainty Provisions.
I don’t get it…
At Heisenberg’s, you get the letters you need for correcting spelling mistakes while simultaneously retaining the knowledge of where to place them.
I’m really glad that I decided to go back and check yesterday’s fails for any interesting overnight posts.
I see your *smooches* and raise you a *snuggle*!
Emporium
I’d remove the firing pin (that is, if I was professional enough to know all about a Glock 40), have an empty clip (which I would some how ‘check’ by showing theatrically), and not wave it around like an idiot.
he thought it was unloaded.. he says so in the beginning of the clip <3
i for one salute this brave man – showing our youths the dangers of gun handling on himself.
Yeah, I was kinda hoping he wouldn’t shoot himself in the head or anything…
so, did he shoot his foot, or just scare himself to death?
he shot himself in the foot. there is a full video on youtube
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot…
And this little piggy went “Wee! Wee! Wee!” all the way to the hospital.
I nearly “wee”ed when I saw this video!
Wait…where is Sara J? I’ll bet she has something to say about this…
*wees on Sara’s turf*
*wees on gun safety*
Wheeeee!!
There seems to be wee bit too much going on here.
*wees on Erick’s sense of propriety*
He sounds like an illiterate moron.
lolwut
Do you have a URL for that? _O_
he shot himself in the foot…when you see the long version on youtube…but the funny thing about this video is, that after that shot in his own foot, he wantet to present an uzi or something like this (full-auto weapon)
I know i kid who shot himself in the foot with a crossbow
That makes him a fallen archer.
That IS awesome.
So a drunk guy shot himself in the head with a crossbow
It was an AR-15 that he wanted to show; the civilian, semi-automatic version of the M-16. Yeah, that was funny. I think those kids and teachers would have beat him to the ground if he had tried to do another demonstration with an ‘unloaded’ (ALL guns are ALWAYS loaded) gun. Guess he sure proved his point that he is the “only one professional enough” to handle that “Glock 40″. Moron. No, worse: moron with the power to no knock raid the wrong house in the middle of the night and then arrest you for defending yourself against an illegal home invasion. Scary.
I was a little worried for him… moreso for the audience :3
I can live with him shooting himself… and sure, I’d live with him shooting the audience too, but it would still be worse
oh, i am so worried, and concidering how old this film is…I think you better call 9-1-1 to go rescue him. or maybe if it’s too late for that, you can visit him in the hospital. No sense in worying over something that first off is soooo old, or something you can do nothing about.
not really. This video is SO OLD. I saw it for the first time almost 2 years ago. So, I was pretty sure he wasn’t going to die this time either.
I was, hahahahah i was just waiting for him to shoot himself or someone in the crowd.
Win
yeah kinda feels like the dangers of weaponry was appropriately demonstrated.
Only lame people posts “first!”
I think lame and douche might be synonymous
Depends on the flavor….
Vinegar and water vs duck?
duck, duck, douche
Lame ducks?
I caught your lame duck earlier. Here’s the bill.
Douche A L’Orange.
Ugh!!! water fowl
LOL, that one quacks me up.
Only douches respond to lame people posting “first” Not sure what that makes me responding to you responding to first post.
That make you just another irrigation.
The actual extended video, shows that he was shot in the foot.
FIRST
But not the vid, that’s an oldie (but goodie, though)
Fail
He’s the only one in the room professional enough to FAIL! O, what an ego, O what a show! Welcome to Moronica!
Isn’t Moronica near Poland?
Moronica is a section of Washington DC. You know, where that big house is at…
1600 Pennsylvania ave. That reminds me of an episode of Wheel-of-Fortune. The contesant read the answer as: “the Clintons live at 1600 Pennsylvania ave.” but she pronounced it as if there was a live performance put on by the Clintons….it was so funny, and she didn’t win, then guy next to her pronunced it correctly…
I thought Moronica was that intern in Bill Clinton’s White House….
She definitely got Bill’s white hose….
first
You failed too
“i’m the only one in this room professional enough that i know of to carry this glock40″ *BANG*
NEVER put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot!
Not to mention clearing the chamber before going into the classroom. Oh, and dropping the mag and locking the slide back before waving it around the classroom might have been a good idea, too. But what the hell do I know? He’s obviously the professional. Even though I’ve been involved in shooting sports for almost 40 years without an AD/ND…
Looks like this guy has been shooting for 40 years with AD/HD.
I reckon this video isn’t quite real. The guy was a teacher and he was probably just pretending to show how unsafe guns are. Bet it was a blank in there and if the video had been 2 seconds longer the dude with the awesome hair would have started laughing and told them it was a joke.
I hate to be the total douche who proves you wrong with Snopes, but… well, I guess I don’t hate it SO much, because I’m about to do it.
http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/gunsafety.asp
Sorry, dude.
Hee! I love it when you do that!
I love that the article says it isn’t clear whether he was hit or suffered powder burn.
Oh just pee on our parade, why don’t you.
That’s what I’m here for. Also, preposition.
Actually, the full vid is on youtube.
Also, It’s just as stupid to load a gun with blanks as it is to wave an unchecked gun in front of a classroom.
Somethings you just don’t joke about.
Isn’t that how some 80s actor Darwined himself, by firing a blank at his temple at point-blank range and splattering bone fragments through his brain?
Awesome. Who was it?
Jon-Erik Hexum on the set of Cover Up,died 12 Oct 1984. I think that Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee) also died from a blank.
Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, died on the set of The Crow. I believe that’s what you’re referring to….http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Lee
Jon-Erik Hexum 1057-1984. Series was called ‘Cover Up.’ A secret agent posing as a male model. During a break in filming, he jokingly put a .44 Magnum revolver, loaded with a blank, against his temple. The wadding fractured his skull. Pronounced brain dead 6 days later.
I think the pronouncement was a few years late
Yep, it was TV actor Jon-Erik Hexum, of the show Cover-Up.
Damn, got to remember to do “show all” to see ALL
responses in a thread before replying.
Yeah. John-Eric Hexum won the Darwin award for doing exactly that on the set of his TV show.
I don’t know, but blanks do launch all kinds of powder and nastiness.
Jep, Jon Erik Hexum. Wikipedia article linked.
That was meant to be “Yep”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon-Erik_Hexum
It would still be dangerous to fire a blank that close to yourself, people have actually been killed by blanks =/
actually that was a real police officer. i remember seeing the video on one
of spike tv “extreme” home video shows or something like it.
*** The guy was a teacher and he was probably just pretending to show how unsafe guns are. Bet it was a blank in there and if the video had been 2 seconds longer the dude with the awesome hair would have started laughing and told them it was a joke. ***
Wow, love the sound of your own moronic voice much? Love going blah blah blah about things you don’t know the first thing about much?
The guy was a federal law enforcement agent and he shot himself with a real ammunition. It was in the news not that long ago.
wahahahaaaa! funny!
WIN.
Congratulations…
NOT!
What, you *LIKE* negligent discharging of firearms?
Who doesn’t?
My comment was regarding your ’40 years of shooting sports’. I have no idea what AD/ND means.
Attention Deficit/ Hyper-activity Disorder. Or Disability.
That’s ADHD :p (and doesn’t have a slash).
Sorry, I saw Sara J’s reply and thought that was what you were responding to.
My fault for not replying directly to Uhtred.
(Psst…blame it on FAILblog!!)
That is what I do, 83% of the time!
Wait…is that more than half?
Only 3% of the time
Accidental death/non-accidental death?
AD/ND I Love classic rock!
Pretty sure it’s Accidental Discharge/Negligent Discharge from the context.
Sometimes I have accidental discharge…
Accidental Discharge/Negligent Discharge. I’m of the school of thought that most, if not all, ADs are really NDs. So what’s wrong with shooting paper targets at 100 meters?
accidental discharge/negligent discharge?
advanced dungeons/’n’ dragons?
accidental discharge/neglegent discharge
Loz- the AD/ND refers to Accidental Discharge/Negligent Discharge, firing a weapon when you’re either not supposed to or because you’re screwing around somehow.
This video was a training video in Law Enforcement school, on how not to be a total idiot with a gun!!!
Oo!
*learned something new!*
You gun nuts think gun knowledge is SO specialized. FAIL report! It’s not! Your only specialized knowledge lies in your intimacy with Failing at social interaction. Oh surprise, look at the gun nuts coming out of the woodwork to impress strangers with their wikipedia knowledge.
Real nice, dipshite. REAL nice. Just because ‘we’ like or own guns, we’re nuts? We lack social interactive skills?
Thank you for proving you are, without a doubt, no better than anyone you just ranted against. Go back to your WoW game, and leave the actual social interaction to people who DON’T wear a helmet on the short bus to school every day.
Yes!!! Social dwarf kill!!! WIN!!!
HEY! No need to drag WOW into this! … I play WOW and own guns… damn its good to be an American. And I interact socially every day, whether I want to or not.
…
And unlike the ignorant f*ckin louts on here( and elsewhere) who bash us, I have traveled throughout the world. And I can tell you Americans are no more stupid, fat or lazy than most of the other ’1st’ world nations out there. /rant

*refuses to be defined by your ignorance*

I, too, have traveled throughout the world, and I would beg to differ.

But everyone’s entitled to their opinion (and bias
Hey, Erik take it easy. That was a response to a vicius and unwarrented attack on Uhtred. Please read all comments before *BANG!* ooops, is every one else alright???
I LoL’d
eh we all need a good rant once in a while
And that wasn’t directed at you Marius, you weren’t there when I got around to finishing that post. The first part was in reply to Lunch’s post and no ranting involved. Actually should of posted that second part on another page, but i was reading through several fails at once.
*Tips Hat*
Just for the record, I wasn’t so much bashing WoW, as I was the idiot I replied to. All video games draw both intelligent people and troll-breeding sloths with the IQ of a tick.
*goes back to his video games*
*grin* I know LB
I really should of split that into 2 posts 
first section was meant in a wry manner.
Ahhh, a fellow gun-nerd nit-picker. My favorite nit to pick is when the news media refers to a semi-auto only AK-47 as an “Assault Rifle”….
It’s easy to convert semi to full-auto. Anyway who cares
Converting the AK-47, I guess it is. But converting any modern rifle to full auto takes much more work. Heck, even my Ruger .22 cal would need specially machined parts to make it fully auto.
Nope all it needs is a shoe string! (Do a search on the shoestring machie gun)
Even better, have you seen the movie SWAT?
A prison bus gets shot up with an UZI, but the press conference the chief held later called them AK-47s. I was cracking up.
A few weeks ago, I read an article on that picture that had Sarah Palin’s head photoshopped onto some chick’s body. The one where the chick was wearing an American flag bikini and holding a rifle. The news article said she was holding an AK-47. It was a freaking Crossman Air Rifle… a BB/Pellet gun… doesn’t even look remotely AK-ish. Of course “Sarah Palin Photographed Holding BB Gun” wouldn’t have made for a very attention-getting headline…
I remember watching that movie to day and laughing my ass off
Uh…cuz it is due to its short length and high caliber. Nobody cares that you know anything about guns. It’s the equivalent of knowing a lot about cardboard boxes, but with pounds of penis envy thrown in.
And you apparently have a lot of penis envy going on …
go troll elsewhere.
Call it “Dr Freud”.

It IS old, I”ve seen it before.
me also.
It is classic. It is not old.
Contemporary video posting fail?
…. so old….. Young John McCain is just off camera to the right…
or Cheney, getting tips on how to shoot your buddy in the face
and then get him to apologize for getting shot? Double win!
I imagine its a bit like the “My face to your fist” technique… people seldom master it fully..

Into your face loser!
oh bloody. Iam fail
aye, into your face..lol
Into your face! Hahaha!
This has potential to become a new meme.
In Soviet Russia, new meme becomes YOU!?
So it is possible for me to become famous somewhere?
The guy in this video is famous… just do something stupid and you’re there.
Fail!
Into your face failure!
i hope he died
You think you’d realize by scrolling down to actually type a comment saying your first you’d realized you weren’t first….but you probably live in Southern America so don’t worry just tell your uncle grandpa and everything will be fine
guns!

So. Awesome. Watch out for that planetarium projector.

*amazed alex de meo replied too all the firsts.”

Occupying time fail?
Wouldn’t it be a win if it did occupy his time?
*even more more amazed that I am no longer at work and STILL reading them….all
Why is it that the only people “professional” enough to carry/hold a gun like that are in no way “professional” enough to be speaking publicly?
you don’t like the way he say’s ‘dat’?
Or the way he attempts to start his little speech. Or the way he FIRES A GUN INSIDE A CLASS/CONFERENCE ROOM!!!!!
at least it could have been a bigger failiure. don’t want to imagine that though.
failiure? *failure
I liked the way he fired a gun in a room filled with children/people and then limps away.
And then uses the gun to point to the people at the side and asks if they’re ok.
That’s to make sure they say “yes we’re okay”
Observance fail, he holsters the pistol prior to pointing around the room, possibly the only thing he does correctly in this video.
Ok, you win. I had to watch it again.
*snerk* Hadn’t picked up on that, that’s funny
I think it got the kids’ attention, tho.
Because being a policeman and being a public speaker are completely unrelated skills?
Granted, in this clip the guy does not seem stunningly well qualified for either one.
Some would argue, how many cops are qualified?
Yeah, because police never have to speak in public, or, you know, with them.
Job description fail
You can only be in expert in so many things. Personally, I would hope that a DEA (I think that’s what’s on his back) agent would be more of a gun professional than a speaking professional. Though they should probably have gotten someone better at speaking to speak at whatever that was.
They don’t need a speaking professional, they need someone who has spoken in front of groups at least once before.
Really, this guy should have been started with “How to properly wear your flak jacket”. No one could have gotten hurt.
how to close your eyes and cover your ears.
He was probably freshly out of prison.
Lol
He still would have failed as his flak jacket would only cover so much, definitely not his feet.
Dude just got shot in the foot, the last thing he needs is to catch flak over what his jacket would cover!
because.. you fail?
Worst part is he’ll never live that down with his coworkers…ever…
Hey, at least he lived.
I hope he got a completely new set coworkers after that.
Wouldn’t want to be his partner when he needs backup.
Well, if I’m being attacked by my foot, he might just be the guy to call.
What if your foot attacks him unwittingly thinking it is you?
When it comes to feet, this guy shoots first and asks questions later.
He is a prime example of why gun control is so important. Silly man should have used both hands, much better control.
That’ll never happen. The image of my face is burned into my foot’s bitter, little, vindictive brain…
I think Uhtred of Bebbanburg’s foot is well-known for its wittiness.
You just made me snort my tea up my nose laughing.
I accidenty an adverb.
The whole thing??
Wholly.
I’m thinking he did whether he wanted to or not…
That guys does a great Don Knotts impersonation!
*sssssmacks self*
*ssssssssssssssmoooch!*
Can I have one too?
*smooches*
It’s no dragon smooch, I’ll grant you…
How cute, she has a pretend boyfriend in a pretend world that probably worships her pretend beauty because she can’t face the real world with her “rapier wit” or she might get her ass kicked. What a stellar couple
Wait, is it the pretend boyfriend that worships her pretend beauty or the pretend world?
.
Oh, and m’lady’s beauty is very, very real. And she is stellar.
What does it say about Jaslene that s/he is on here, commenting about a “pretend” relationship???
Jealousy rears its ugly head!!!
Haha. It’s funny that s/he’s actually being serious. How sad do you have to be to come on failblog purely to try to offend someone you don’t even know.
I pity him/her.
(*smooch!*)
*gets in line*
Gun Safety rule #1:
Always wear a helmet (under bellybutton)
christ that would be excruciating – abdominal surgeons wouldn’t be able to bring themselves to do it.
Officer Buckle and Gloria reference? WIN!!!
It’s hard to tell from this clip, but for those who haven’t seen the full one: yes, he DID shoot himself, and he carried on with the speech for a while afterward.
Was that Chuck Norris?
Dude, he is so fired.
Don’t you know who that is? It’s Booker T! King Booker can fire a gun anywhere he likes and using words like “‘dat” just show that he’s better than the english language
But I bet it made a huge impression on those kids. Goal accomplished.Big win.
Next, he’ll demonstrate the importance of looking both ways before crossing the street by stepping out in front of an oncoming bus.
Psych!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike!!!!!!
Thank you Eddie.
He just found the last clown car riding immigrant sneaking out from under the desk
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
or footing yourself in the shoot
falking yourself in the toot?
tooting fourself in the yoot?
Yeah, but I think “Talk about pop music” is a lot catchier…
Kaa-ziii…aw forget it
I was worried for the guy on the front row.
“i’m the only one in this room professional enough that I know of to carry this glock40…
BANG BRAINS OUT”
I scooted out to the internet to see how big a Glock 40 is and found info about Special Agent Lee Paige. As in, right after, he asked his assistant to hand him an assault rifle and the audience screamed, “Put it down!!” And he filed a lawsuit against the government because he couldn’t work undercover and the DEA banned him from public speaking. Oh yes, the audience was a room full of children. That ought to build confidence in our police force.
It’s more like “Glock weapon design epic fail”
Glockenspiel?
Well, he DID have a spiel about the Glock…
I love the way you two carillon.
Now that comment rings a bell!
… to the very belle with which I love to clarion!
Oh, yay!!
*clappers hands*
*peals*
*comes round and touches*
*What a gush of euphony voluminously wells!
How it swells!*
*tintinnabulates!*
*wonders if a toll will be charged per pun*
*crowns Avis*
Arvo Pärt on tintinnabulation, “… the rule where the melody and the accompaniment [accompanying voice]…is one. One plus one, it is one – it is not two. This is the secret of this technique.”
That was outstanding.
I very much like the beautiful music that comes with two becoming one.
You write lovely sheet music.
And you play absolutely beautifully.
His bassoon ain’t so bad lookin’ either!
Glocks are probably my least-favorite handgun, mainly because of the grip angle, but I do consider them to be well-designed… just curious as to why you see the fail as being with the Glock and not the idiot holding it?
Guns don’t fail, people fail
though it’s not entirely true that comment is all sorts of win
Umm yeah I would like to see the whole video please because if I remember correctly that was done on purpose to make a point n’ the gun was only loaded with an emptied blank(primer only, like a cap gun). Henceforth making this a gun saftey WIN as it was being done to demonstrate a point n’ not make assumptions. However if it is not the video I’m thinking of then it could be a fail, it just depends on if it is done on purpose or not. Kinda like the gun saftey course out here, the teacher left a gun loaded with a blank on his table n’ didn’t come in until 10 min went by or he heard the gun go off, n’ it’s all done that way just to make a point of how easy it is to have an accident. Well thats just my thoughts.
That’s a rather unethical experiment.
You know, Sara J, that thought occurred to me, too. I’ve taken various firearms training classes over the years and never encountered anything like that. Now, a realistic-looking fake gun with the cartoon-cliche “BANG!” flag that pops out of the muzzle when you pull the trigger… that, I could agree with.
Good idea, Uhtred! Besides, you actually CAN kill someone with a blank if you try hard enough.
Just ask Brandon Lee.
True enough, Dragon.
Caw Caw Bang F..k I’m DEAD!
LOL, you win *that made me laugh because I haven’t heard it in years*
That’s pretty damn dangerous, as a blank round can cause death, or at least major injury, if it goes off with the barrel pointed right next to someone. Like when the actor Jon Erik Hexum aimed a prop gun loaded with blanks at his head and pulled the trigger, apparenty just to be funny, but the shockwave from the blank killed him, even with no bullet. So leaving idiots and a blank-filled gun alone in a room unsupervised is just asking for critical fail, unless he’s doing that hoping for an eventual Darwin win.
And even if the gun in the video was loaded with blanks, that had to have hurt his leg, as well as everyone’s ears. I don’t think he would have injured himself and children’s ears like that just to prove a point, unless he really didn’t realize what a blank firing would be like in that enclosed space.
So, JUST the primer isn’t deadly? Really???? Why don’t you track down Brandon Lee, and see what HE thinks of that? Oh, wait, you can’t. Why? BECAUSE HE’S DEAD, YOU MORON!!!
No more caffeine for you, darlin’.
Scotch instead?
*pours*
Alright, I’ve seen this on here a couple of times now. Just for clarification, I thought Brandon Lee was killed by a bullet that had been lodged in the barrel of the gun earlier and when a ‘blank’ was fired it expleed the bullet.
*pours a Guinness*
Can not remember where I read this so I can not confirm . . . But I believe it was the special effects in the shopping bags he carried that drove debris into his chest thus killing him. Can anyone else confirm this??
That is the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard of. The teacher should have his carry permit revoked, and if there are teaching credentials to be yanked, that too. A blank can still kill someone at close range. I recall the actor Jon-Erik Hexum killed himself on the set of the TV series “Cover Up” with a gun loaded with blanks. I can easily see some bully kid holding that “object lesson” to the head of some other kid and pulling the trigger.
No. He shot himself in the foot (and came very close to killing himself). And your suggestion is a really stupid one; a blank shell can still injure up to several metres away. At close range, or if there was debris in the barrel, it could kill.
it was an example of something she saw happen, not a suggestion on her part
What I’d like to know is how many lawsuits were filed after this gun safety presentation.
O I seem to recall the next section of this video being, literally, he reaches for the semi-automatic weapon, and the teacher says, No, don’t do that, we should stop now, or or something to that effect.
OH my gosh!!! That is hilarious! Did he shoot himself?!
By night: gun safety instructor.
By day: mall ninja.
http://lonelymachines.org/mall-ninjas/
“I am a Master of three martial arts including ninjitsu, which means I can wear the special boots to climb walls.” Oh, that is such good stuff…
That guy had been a DEA agent for 14 years when he blew a hole in his foot in a room full of kids. After shooting off that glock, he picked up a rifle to demonstrate. The kids were having none of that, so he left the room. Then he filed a lawsuit against the gov’t.

Hags, are you sure about a teacher leaving a gun out loaded with “blanks” just to teach kids a gun safety lesson?
Blanks are still fired out of the gun with a small charge of gun powder and can be deadly.
Back in 1984, actor Jon Erik Hexum killed himself that way, by goofing around with a prop gun loaded with blanks. He was unaware of the fact that a projectile is still fired through the gun barrel.
I bet he’s enjoying his Darwin Award in heaven.
Great, now I have to go over there and see if the darwin awards go back that far. I’m never going to get any work done today.
It was an emptied blank, primer only n’ like I said up by my other comment it’s still a stupid thing to do.
Gotcha. Thanks for replying, as I created my own pathetic FAIL by not properly replying to your first comment and allowing my statement hang out in space.
Old but funny. There’s a long version out there somewhere, where the guy goes on to pick up another gun and is shouted down by the crowd until he puts it down again.
n’th
You don’t have to advertise your speech impediment.
2th!
3st!
Need some water?
Im 4rd.
I don’t think its quite that old. They should have posted the entire video.
Maybe he thought he was playing Halo
poop in pants win!
Woah! This isn’t even funny!
How is this only 4 1/2 thumbs down, this is the ultimate fail.
Everyone lived, so slightly less than “ultimate”.
It’s a win, in WW1 soldiers used to shoot themselves in the foot to get out of the trenches, this guy just wanted to get out of class.
Sure, plant the idea for the nerds in gym class
*would have gladly shot self in foot if it had meant never having to go to gym class*
I get the feeling you are one of many of the commenters on here that would say the same thing
I once got yelled out by a counselor for asking to get out of gym class, this is one part in the many events by teachers and “peers” that pissed me off to near madness throughout my school years… Vengeance will be mine!
They are just drill sgt wannabes that couldn’t make it into the service.
They say people fear public speaking more than they fear death….
Shooting off at the mouth, immediately followed by shooting off his toe. Instant Karma.
Shooting himself with an unloaded gun on a lecture about gun security…
This is priceless.
“And that’s why, children, the sale and the use of guns are very restricted in most of today’s modern countries (except you-know-where). Now, if you excuse me, I must go to the hospital…”
In any case : self-control wins.
At his place, I would have rolled on the floor crying.
bwahahahahahahh *bang* Glad to be of help.
this is totally fake.
Learn to troll.
*anxiously awaits hand grenade demonstration
Remember, once we pull the pin and release the spoon, Mr. Grenade is no longer our friend.
*pulls the pin and releases the spoon*
*waits*
I think this one’s broken.
No, it’s just that it, much like the rest of us, doesn’t want to stop being your friend.
There is no spoon.
Aww…
My spoon’s too big.
Then you should release Mr. Grenade so he can make new friends!
“…and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats…”
oldie but a goodie.
fake. not nearly loud enough. also no muzzle flare. also no ricochet?
Fail at proving a fake.
Most microphones cannot capture the true sound of a gunshot. The sound is much too fast and too loud to be accurately captured.
Muzzle flare is only visible if the surrounding area is dark, and then it’s not even that bright. In a bright room, it’s completely invisible.
Lastly, there are many reasons why a bullet wouldn’t ricochet. Maybe the bullet hit the cement floor squarely, completely squashing the bullet and killing any momentum. Maybe the floor was wood underneath. Maybe the bullet got lodged in his foot. Maybe it ricocheted into the wall behind him. In any case, you couldn’t distinguish that sound from the initial blast.
Besides, there is a complete video of this guy on youtube. He is in obvious pain and he tries to continue his speech.
Oh and if its on youtube it must be real…
yes, too fast for the sound to pick it up, but what if we tried recording it on slow motion sound? Like the kind on those fancy slow motion cameras? Also, this is obviously a fake and anybody who says otherwise is clearly just trying to take our guns away. Corbajoe is probably a communist.
I’m the only one on this board professional enough to FAIL
LOL! I saw this video five years ago in my police training. We were basically told “Never do this!” I was told that agent ended up suing the person who made the video because he claimed he could never work again due to the public loss of confidence in his work. Needless to say, I ALWAYS double check my weapon (slide locked back, visual and physical inspection of the chamber) before I say that it is secure.
It’s probably been said already (whoa that’s a lot of comments) but total credibility fail!
244th!
‘I’m the only one professional enough to– *FAIL*’
this is the oldest video ever. fail
…..”I’m the only one professional enough in THIS room to carry a Glock-40, that I know of”……
POP!!
My what a well trained police officer. I REALLY would NOT want my life OR YOURS in THAT guy’s hands. Those people in that room are lucky that they all came out alive.
WTF
The first thing you learn… the very first thing they teach when learning to handle guns is “there’s no such thing as an unloaded gun. Treat EVERY gun as if it’s loaded.”
If he’s an armed cop, allowed on the streets with a loaded weapon, that’s a bad thing. Especially if he forgot this very first safety rule. Arm myself to the teeth to protect me against cops like him. Or maybe he’s just wearing the Police Shirt for style.
Also, i know it was off-screen, but it didn’t seem like he checked the chamber & clip, which is the first thing you do when handed a weapon… and goes hand in hand with treating every gun like it’s loaded.
And he didn’t seem to do too great of a job at making sure to always have the barrel of the gun pointing away from people. Never point a gun at anyone unless you intend to kill them.
Sorry, I am no gun expert, but how did this gun go off? I heard him press the trigger and it just clicked. The second time it fired. I assume this is what you mean by checking the clip too. So the gun can actually hold the the ‘clip amount of bullets’ plus one in the chamber? If a guy this qualified can make a mistake in a moment of carelessness, no wonder there are so many gun related accidents.
The ‘funny part’ was what he was actually saying just before the accident: “I am the only one in this room that I know of professional enough to hold the Glock40″. Priceless!
(i don’t have first hand experience with this particular gun, and it’s been a while since i’ve been active with them) What probably happened was there was no bullet in the chamber, but a bullet in the cartridge. the first the chamber was open, but that first click you heard was the chamber closing, not the trigger. When it closed, it put the bullet from the cartridge into the chamber. He now had a loaded, armed pistol with the safety off. (Anyone more familiar with this piece can absolutely correct me)
I might disagree about a ‘guy this qualified’ making such a careless mistake, and it’s correlation to gun related accidents. I don’t think that there are that many gun related accidents when compared to how many gun owners there are. I grew up around many gun owners/hunters, and there was never an accident, and never any carelessness around guns. But we can go back and forth on this subject all day, and not ever find common ground. I’d question his qualification before anything else.
But yeah “I’m the only one in this room that i know of professional enough to hold the Glock 40″, BOOM. Bull-shit. Your ‘qualified’ ass just broke gun safety rules i’ve been following since i was 10 years old.
Self awareness fail; qualification fail; full of himself fail; responsibility fail; educating people about guns fail. Pretty much fail all around.
*** What probably happened was there was no bullet in the chamber, but a bullet in the cartridge. ***
“Magazine,” not “cartridge.” The cartridge IS the bullet, plus casing, powder and primer. Sheesh.
Impress us more with your vast knowledge of firearms.
All he wants to do is a *three gun shots* and a *painful scream* lose his dignity!
I lol’d
You love that song, eh?
I’m not particularily fond of it, but it is very catchy.

racism win = fail!
I just epic failed. I was looking at failblog and I laughed so hard that I was gasping for breath. While I was doing that I failed by hitting my lamp with my hand causing the bulb to go out.
-facepalm-
NRA FAIL
Gun Control WIN
Gun owners = “Compensators”
You know, you’re right!
Police shouldn’t have guns.
Too dangerous.
First!
Classic FAIL. Almost as bad as a Terry Kath fail
Is this how Mark Hamill is going to go? Yikes.
OMG !!!!! THAT COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it a good idea to say “first” already for the next fail ? Just to be, you know, like…first ?
Old video!
New pain.
I call fake. Why would someone film this in the first place?
Amerika, LOL
the glock action is unable to be accidentally discharged because of the integral safety incorporated into the action… your booger hook has to press the Bang button then it will go BANG! no accident about it. …and as a law enforcement officer, he should have been FIRED that very day and no longer be allowed to even think of carrying a badge…or even a gun … imho.
The longer version of that video is even better, as he try to keep going with his demonstration… Priceless!
this policeman is an idiot!
Jeeesus…I dont know if this is fake or for real…. to laugh or to feel sorry.
Nth!
old…
So, I had a friend who went to Police Academy, and the day they got to use real ammo, they were in the hall after their turn on the firing range, and someone had apparently forgotten to change back to blanks.
They ended up almost shooting the officer in charge; missed by about 6 inches. They framed it as a reminder of WHY YOU MUST CHANGE BACK!
Side note, they apparently also learned who would do well and who would not. My friend looked around like WTF? but apparently a few people just hauled off running.
I can’t believe this guy is teaching gun safety when the smartest rule of gun safety is always assume every gun you handle is loaded unless you check it yourself.
Did he shoot himself in the foot? Tsk. Funny, though.
When did Wyclef Jean join the police force?
dont give that guy s gun uh oh way too late
Pride goeth before the fail…
“I’m the only one in this room professional enough to carry a gun.” **BAM** Hilarious!! Talk about timing.
just tell me he got fired. Please.
wish you had shown the whole video, If I remember correctly he tries to act like nothing happened but can’t take it for long.
Grenade? oh my GOD!!
cheddar bob
|the kid|
FIRST!
sorry but id just ad to fit in with the other people who posted first when for obviously not fist,
this video reminded me when my friend shot him self in the foot point blank when were playing paintball. the game hadn’t even started yet XD
how the hell did he manage to discharge it?
He put his finger on the trigger and pulled.
Is this guy related to Plaxico Burress???
not loaded my ass!
I would tell him to shoot hisself, but…
“I am the only one in this room professional enough to handle a glock…”
thank goodness for professionals
Here’s the longer version. He tries to show off a bigger gun.
He actually handled shooting himself in the foot rather well… That must’ve hurt like hell.
Last!
The original video is longer…later his assistant pulls out a machine gun, the audience becomes nervous and ask her to put it down XD
LOL! didn’t think that was true until I actually saw it!
A Bald-faced reminder of an extremely important fact of firearms handling: there are only two types of firearms discharges: intentional and negligent. It’s also a blatant reminder that even the most professional douches can shoot themselves. Remember, kiddies: never, ever point a weapon at anything you do not intend to permanently alter. Happily, the only thing that this world-class douche managed to alter was his own physiology. It would have truly been tragic had someone gotten injured…
“I’m the only one professional enough in this room to carry a Glock-40″ as he forgets about the one in the chamber and shoots himself in his foot… Dumb ass for got that you always keep the gun loaded when you have it in your belt.
ha the wonderful training of the dea the entire war on drugs is a fail.
headshot!
You lot are cracking me up with your silly comments ! Behave will ya,I can’t watch the vids for crying ! lol
” I’m the only one professionall enough”….yeah,riiiiight !
OW. what are they doing?
The real fail is that this guy talks about a Glock40….. which doesn’t even exist according to http://www.glock.com !
He’s probably confusing it with .40 caliber.
I loved as much as you will receive carried out proper here. The sketch is tasteful, your authored subject matter stylish. nevertheless, you command get got an nervousness over that you would like be turning in the following. in poor health surely come more in the past again as precisely the same just about a lot steadily inside case you protect this hike.
