  22. Blue2thFairy says:

    I love how the guy at the end was like “aaaaaaaaaaaaand now I’ll walk over and check to see if you’re mortally wounded.”

  28. Chris says:

    Cannon = Epic WIN FTW, however the loader EPIC FAIL

  29. Kyle says:

    Anyone want some crushed nuts?

  30. REX says:

    Fail yes!

    But I find its bad taste to show people dying.
    If you receive enough energy to fly that far you are dead.

  31. dp says:

    i head it’s an advanced move

  32. James says:

    You always always stand to the side when loading a cannon, what the hell.

  33. Abigail says:

    This is a little scary! Did someone get hurt?

  34. Nacoran says:

    Is no one going to comment on the lightning reactions of the guy still in the frame? You could bleed out from a paper cut if he was assigned to give you first aid.

    • adrian says:

      Obviously it was about the fifth time the cannon guy had done the same thing…
      ‘when will this guy learn?’
      ‘should we help him up?’
      ‘again? what do you think?’

  35. Lolguy says:

    Fake and gay

  36. X says:

    I absolutely like the way his mates are coping with the situation:
    “Oy yeah, he just got hit by the cannon’s recoil directly into his testicles…
    Shall I help him out?– No….”

  37. Atlas says:

    “Who’s gonna get him?”
    “What day is it?”
    “Tuesday.”
    “Dammit, my turn.”

  38. jay says:

    the cannon gave that man his love gravy

  39. uhh says:

    Isn’t this a death vid?

  40. im awsome says:

    In soviet russia cannon fires you!

  41. Cyrano says:

    I remember he survived with minor injury from Taiwan news

  42. ph33lix says:

    I like how the soldier at the bottom of the screen goes like “derp derp… not my problem hur hur…” *walks away calmly*

  43. Johan says:

    Man, this guy died actually. You guys didn’t know?

  44. meh says:

    You know that guy died, right?

  45. darkwolf says:

    He may have survived.

    As an ex-13B (thirteen – bravo which is the Army MOS designation), and although I was mostly in artillary self propelled cannons (Tanks), I HAVE fired towed cannons similiar to this before.

    His mistake was slapping it.

    He was supposed to hook his (usually) 3ft string to it, step to the side looking at it, and do an about face … when you do the about face, it pulls the string (and gets you out of the way) , which pulls on a firing pin, that hits a 22 bullet, that ignites the powder, which then causes the artillary shell to fire.

    If he slapped the lever that sets off the firing pin, setting off the 22, then it would have fired.

    The towed is not as powerful as a artillary tank. Had he been inside of a tank, with the doors closed, he would have been splattered on the inside of the tank.

    As he was outside, if there was nothing too close behind him, then survivability would depend on where exactly it hit him, if wearing any armour, and how fast they got him to the hospital.

    Those who are 13B’s are sometimes referred to as the “pull string, go boom brigade” when others wan’t to screw with them.

    There is a reason however that a 13B has that piece of string.

    Maybe he forgot his that day?

    I never forgot mine.

    • Bruce says:

      I really can’t tell from the video – Does the breech close automaticaly on those when you seat the round?

      At first look, it appears as if the shell didn’t go in all the way, and went off with the breach open when he tried slapping it to seat it. Which should have made a huge mess of everyone around the weapon.

      But yeah, he didn’t use the string and stood in the worst possible place – and for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.

      Bet he won’t try that again.

  46. Cupa Chuck says:

    in soviet russia, cannon shoots you

  47. patrick says:

    folks, hate to be that guy, but he’s probably seriously hurt. not funny.

  48. Jason says:

    Seeing someone injured or killed is not funny.

  49. Thomassio says:

    The pacific: “Don’t worry your son is an artillery man, one of the safest positions in the army”

  50. Darkozakk says:

    He’s a n00b. O:

  51. Not too successful. Glad not on my side.

  52. Bond says:

    You all know that fellow died right? I’m not saying that to be funny, he actually died from his injuries later at a hospital.

  53. Typo says:

    Well, better him than someone else… they need a slow-mo replay at the end for a more epic effect… and info on what happened to the guy

  54. akura says:

    That’s a shell of a way go.

  55. Brettr says:

    He’s not up to the required caliber

  56. I’m pretty sure that he’s dead D:

  57. Skepsis says:

    Ahhh don’ worry
    the safety’s on ol’ Betsy….*boom*

  58. lolosaurus lex says:

    He can’t be worse off than the people he’s firing at.

  59. Andrew Ong says:

    Blast-back win.

  60. Carolina says:

    silly Asian

  61. LeeTy says:

    Falcon Cannon

  62. Z says:

    Hey, don’t blame the gun, it was doing what it is made for: hurting people.

  63. Kernl_Sandrs says:

    Gene pool:

    6,697,254,041

    Good job, world!

  64. izik says:

    this is D-30 field gun, of the syrian army. and that’s the reason why they cant any war for 60 years :P

  65. bigmac says:

    people don’t kill people, guns kill people.

  66. Enigma says:

    Support Our Troops-we’ll need them to overthrow our government.

  67. Mini-Mall says:

    Our army is great, the shot didn’t reach the destination yet and they already killed someone

  68. JAck says:

    i herd that he actualy died…

  69. That was a gut-wrenching boom.

  70. Lonnie says:

    They should just go back to using rocks and sticks….

  71. Hal says:

    The outro was longer than the content.

  72. dekoomer says:

    Oh boy, we don’t stand a chance.

  73. zac299 says:

    ahhh… smell that? thats the smell of ower tax dollars hard at work.

  74. Sorj says:

    Thats not actually funny, a impact like that to the chest would certainly break a lot if not near all his ribs and provide mass internal damage/bleeding/bruising to the organs and possibly kill him, to the gut well again major internal damage/bruising with a fair bit of bleeding.
    Common sense easily tells you he ended up in Emergency and very likely in surgery. I find people hurting themselves due to stupidity hilarious… btu not when someone could have been easily killed.

  75. snoopcat says:

    now that not funny… :(

  76. zmjjmz says:

    After watching tons of WWII documentaries, I always wondered what would happen if a soldier didn’t get out of the way.

  78. MiniMe says:

    WHOOPS *casually walks away*

  79. Adrian says:

    actually it’s a cannon win

  80. N. Ranger says:
