The majority of these mistakes fell into a few major categories:
1. Letting children shoot beyond their age and experience.
2. Giving complete novices a large caliber handgun instead of starting with a .22 or .38spl
3. Poor shooting posture.
4. Not allowing for recoil when using scope.
5. Shooting a gun that's just plain too much recoil for your body mass.

I cringed that anyone could ever be stupid enough to look down the muzzle of a gun. He's lucky to still have his forehead.

I had to laugh at "Audie Murphy", kept reloading and shooting multiple drum magazines while his gun is on fire. Hey guy, that's why an automatic rifle isn't a machine gun.

A couple of them reminded me of when my sister whom never shot guns told me she wanted to be a cop. I let her try a 3" mag slug out of the 12ga and it ended up on the ground. She's now a cop.

These ******* that knowingly give and inexperienced person a large caliber weapon just piss me off. There was a lady given a S&W 500 a couple years ago with multiple rounds loaded. She lost control on the first shot, and killed herself with the second. The guy who gave her that gun should be prosecuted. These idiots are no different.
It is better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it.

Yup, couldn't look away.

This kind of vid may be something to chuckle at, but it can be instructive too.

I can't, and would rather not, imagine the pain of getting a scope to the face. No thanks.
The man I meet with is not often so instructive as the silence he breaks.

I'll only load one round or at most every other chamber when letting people try my 460V because of that.

These are the a**holes who give responsible gun owners a bad name. Anti gun folks see this stuff and use terms like neanderthal, knuckle dragger, mouth breather, etc...

These idiots do defy Darwinism on a continual basis.

And I don't let anyone shoot my larger caliber revolvers.

At 5:19, thats filmed at BESA, the clip has shown up a few times in other videos. I can't identify the participants, anybody recognize them???

I've seen the very first clip before where the guy draws and shoots himself in the leg. I applaud him for at least owning up to it and addressing it in another video.

Pretty good stuff, maybe I missed it but was wrong with the guy at 10:10 shooting the big bore, seemed to me he knew what he was doing, also didn't see an issue with the girl shooting the 50cal. My wife has shot a 50 plenty of times and she's no bigger than that girl, those M107s are pretty soft shooting all things considered.

I can't identify them either.

I didn't catch what the source of their problem was the first time I watched it because I missed the audio where they talk about "bad primers" and who loaded the ammo. Apparently they're one of Seismic Sam's bad dreams. That still doesn't explain why they felt the need to pound away at the forward assist every time they ran the charging handle. I guess with their genius in ammo selection, it's not too surprising to think that they'd own an AR that wouldn't feed properly on its own, or that the ammo was loaded to an incorrect OAL and causing feeding issues. Hooray for idiots, I guess.
