what an asshole!

Fat, stupid, NRA-membering, Republican-voting, moron.

that was f'in awesome! 60 cal handgun, sweet.

why make a handgun that powerful? I guess I'd like to see someone w/ some strength and training shoot this instead of dumbass here.

That guy should stick with a .50 cal deagle

should've pointed it the opposite direction to start with, perhaps.

upon a second watch, a friend calls him a "big sissy" even before he shows just how big a sissy he is.

unnecessarily large guns is an american tradition.

It's amazing to me how people can form an opinion about someone after watching about 50 seconds of video of them doing something they have probably never done before and probably shouldn't be doing. Especially without instruction.

def says "what an asshole"... maybe. Ignorant of how to handle the gun... definitely. We don't he's an asshole from the video. I'd like to see how, without any instruction, you would handle a .60 cal handgun if given the opportunity.

You make a handgun that powerful because you want to and there is a market for it, no other reason necessary. This is America, where we are free to make a product as long as it's approved and legal.

noizy says: " should've pointed it the opposite direction to start with, perhaps." Just because he didn't hold the gun correctly, he is given a death sentence. Harsh, don't you think?

unnecessarily large guns is an american tradition." If you notice, he is called a sissy for needing to hold it with 2 hands. A silly remark since, if you are experienced with guns, you know you should ALWAYS use 2 hands to hold a gun. This isn't TV or movies where people shoot accurately with one hand. Guns, especially large caliber handguns, recoil. He was simply being goaded into making a foolish mistake by being called a sissy.

I know I will probably be called names here for having these opinions. It's easy to write mean and uninformed diatribes from the anonymity of your computer. This guy should not be handling a gun as he did here. Simple as that.

Methinks keeferzjr should lighten up. Besides, using a weapon that powerful without proper training *is* a stupid thing to do.

Yeah, umm... thanks keeferzjr... for the critical analysis of our offhand comments. If the point was to show us how individuals can form opinions about someone else after briefly seeing them make a fool of themselves, then congrats on awkwardly making that point by judging each of our half-hearted comments.

And having an opinion on our comments is fine (although, may I say, your 'opinions' border on simply argumentative) but just keep in mind that we're not usually presenting arguments with intent to defend them later, we're just throwing out random comments for others to see.

Maybe we can learn to forgive crass statements like "this guy is a dumbass", which our fellow sifters used in place of your transparent "this guy should not be handling this gun", ... for the sake of the Sift?

(an aside; now that you're a new member, post some stuff and comment more! its good times!)

recoil is not funny. when at the army, the guy next to me at the shooting range lost his eyesight due to recoil of his 7.62x51

absolutely no vote

"Harrr HAAAARR you big SISSY" Yeah this is definitely a very classy man and his friends show equally much class, mhm I wonder, could it be Texas?

control

Also hilarious: sign in the background that says "aim every shot".

Funniest comment ever ,Winner.... Noizy "should've pointed it the opposite direction to start with, perhaps. :

Where have people's sence of humor gone too in this world.Dumb earthins.
No one died in the video

While we're all judging people in the vid, the only scorn I have is for the assholes filming, some of whom presumably know a lot about guns, and still let this inexperienced guy badly mishandle a beast like that. The guy shooting had never been told how to safely hold even a little .22 pea shooter.

And for the record, there is no advantage to aiming with two hands over one. The only advantage to using two hands is that if you have to take many shots in a short period of time (say, 5 aimed shots in less than 4 seconds), you can bring the gun back into position faster.
