A-Hunting We Will Go!

Ah, Darwinism stands the test of time over and over again.
That’s hilarious!
Hope nobody got hurt. Was that a first hand experience?Fortunately (according to the reader who sent this in), it was a cheap Marlin rifle so the barrel just split. If it had been a decent rifle, there would have probably been blowback that would have shoved the bolt into the shooter’s face. That would probably have ruined his day real bad.
Hey, some Marlins are good quality. So are some Savages and Mossbergs and the other budget brands. But no, its not like they have custom barrels by Kreiger.
What a dummy. I hope this guy got kicked off the range pronto and had his membership revoked. I’ve seen a lot stupid out in the woods and at the firing line, but this takes the cake.
There was a fellow who Darwined himself at our gun club a couple years ago. Either he put too much gunpowder in the cartridge, had a barrel obstruction like this guy, over annealed the brass, or was using a worn out gun (it was an .303 Enfield, old but well made when new) ... thing blew up in his face. He’s dead. Lesson for the rest of us: be really really careful out there when playing with your guns.
Thats the USA camping holiday out the window
And you guys make fun of us because they put that “Do not use in bathtub” sticker on hair dryers.
Its the point this way stickers on guns that worry me, you crazy Americans
just joking.
The front of a claymore mine is labeled “Front toward enemy”. Just goes to show that you can foolproof things all you want, but you can’t damn fool-proof them.
Momma always said, stupid is as stupid does.
Bulldog, we know which end is the good end and which is the bad end. Too bad you blokes there in Britain don’t have either end any more.
When the Moosies in Britain rise up because you chaps won’t let their bloody women wear full-face masks and hoods, call us. We’ll send you some sticks and rocks to fight back with.
Along with instructions.
Best laugh I had all day. By the way I bought a similar laser alignment tool for my .223” (some of us Brits still have shootin’ irons Skip) and quite frankly it is a pile of crap. Fortunately this one goes in the breech end so you can’t have the “fun with firearms” experience like the dolt in this article.
Oh and to echo Drew’s sentiments above, guns are dangerous things and need to be respected.I hope the company that makes this has a disclaimer or the retard involved will have a shyster chasing them for damages faster than you can say f*ckwit.
Lyndon the best bore sighters are the ones that use the grid lens that fits in the end of the barrel. BSA makes a decent one. But all they’ll do is get you on paper; you have to fine tune the sights after that. They do come in handy when you’re putting on a new scope. That’s their only use.
This laser one’s claim that once used you’re sighted in at 100 yards is hooie. Every gun shoots differently, and the speed and aerodynamic efficiency of any particular bullet shape makes a huge difference. Hey, you knew that already.
For all you once a year shooters out there: the closer you can get before shooting the better your chances. Most deer here in the USA are shot at 75 yards or less. You don’t even really need a scope at that range. Learn your trajectories by actual practice, not by reading some table in a book.
