What's debunked?


The idea that the gunshot knocks you down with its own force alone.

Your video, Shot at Point Blank with a .308 and .44 Magnum, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

WHERE the eff was the range master ?


They ARE the range masters.

"On January 22, 1987, the day before his sentencing, Dwyer called a press conference to “provide an update on the situation.” Many expected Dwyer to announce his resignation from office. At the conference, an agitated and nervous Dwyer once again professed his innocence, and declared that he would not resign as state treasurer. Those attending would hear his final words:

“I face a maximum sentence of 55 years in prison and a $300,000 fine for being innocent. Judge Muir has already told the press that he, “felt invigorated” when we were found guilty, and that he plans to imprison me as a deterrent to other public officials. But it wouldn’t be a deterrent because every public official who knows me knows that I am innocent; it wouldn’t be a legitimate punishment because I’ve done nothing wrong.” Then he proceeded “The guilty verdict has strengthened that resolve. But as we’ve discussed our plans to expose the warts of our legal system, people have said: “Why bother?” “No one cares.” “You’ll look foolish.” “60 Minutes, 20/20, the American Civil Liberties Union, Jack Anderson and others have been publicizing cases like yours for years, and it doesn’t bother anyone.”

At this point, Dwyer stopped with his prepared text and called to three of his staffers, giving each an envelope. It was later discovered that one contained a suicide note to his wife. The second was an organ donor card and other related materials. The third was a letter to the newly-inaugurated governor Robert P. Casey.

After handing out the envelopes, Dwyer opened a manila envelope and withdrew a .357 Magnum revolver, advising those in the crowd, “Please leave the room if this will offend you.” Those in attendance cried out to Dwyer, pleading with him to put the gun down (“Budd, don’t!” was heard on television.) Some tried to approach him. “Stay away, this thing will hurt someone,” he warned. Amid the cry of “Budd, Budd, Budd!” Dwyer put the gun barrel into his mouth and pulled the trigger. He collapsed against a wall in a sitting position, blood pouring from his nose, all in front of five television news cameras. Dwyer was declared dead at the scene at 11:31 a.m. CDT."

I know what you're thinking — "Did he kick me six times or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But, being as this is a size 14 Magnum, the most powerful footwear in the world and would kick your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

If something as small as a cat can scare off a bear like this, you'd think we could develop some sort of mechanism to scare them off ourselves. Instead of just crapping our pants and playing dead.

It's called balls.

It's called pepper spray.


It's called a .44 Magnum.

Ya know... only MJ could dance like MJ. Everyone else looked stupid doing it.




Michael Jackson's Magnum Opus

Having fired a Magnum (a S&W 629 .44 in Prague) and being an Englishman, it is a very, very surreal experience in a country where guns are taboo. As an engineer, it was a lovely, lovely piece of metal to hold in your hand; the sheer weight of it gave creedance to the fact that is was something so powerful. My own reaction was pretty much the same as Stephen's. Simply awesome.

^It's not from A Fist Full of Dollars. It's the theme from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly composed by Ennio Morricone.

I assume they used it because it's a one of the most classic and famous original scores of all time and the theme to Dirty Harry is 70's style soundtrack garbage. ...and people associate the Good Bad Ugly soundtrack with Clint Eastwood.


We might as well call it "The Clint Eastwood Theme Song."




>> ^Fade:
Why is the music from a fist full of dollars? Surely dirty harry had a sound track too?

Stephen Fry has too much testosterone to fire the magnum with both hands!

Tom was contracted to do Magnum PI and so was unable to be in the Indiana Jones movie due to contracting obligations - otherwise, how different it would all be!

...and Harrison Ford as Magnum PI, right?

Great video!

I was tempted to comment what RabidRobot did - I'd have been joking. It is an impressive match-up. Wasn't Tom Selleck considered for the role of Han Solo?
