Why you should wear safety glasses and not follow the example set by FPSRussia.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I really don't want my range time cut short by a flying car door and/or shrapnel.

Lucky to be alive !

I sure that gun can shoot more than 50 yards...back up s2pid.

[gjohnsoniv]

I'm pretty sure that flying door (?) would ruin your day. He does have a nasty habit of shooting explosives are stupidly close ranges.

Never go full retard.

Is this the guy that they just found his manager dead, execution style?

[gjohnsoniv]

Haven't heard that one if you are being serious.

Looks like it.

Interesting. Some reports say he was found on the side of the road, others report he was tied to a chair in his on house?

[gjohnsoniv]

Well what do you know.  That seems a bit odd.

That truck explosion thing is a green screen, they just overlayed him in the position Edited January 7, 2013 by Sam1

Bummer on the death,one thing I don't get is in all of the videos on u tube,most of the er performers will sit there and perform a volume of acts with firearms and more never wearing safety glasses. Guess they don't know what it's like to loose an eye because they were too stupid to don a 5 dollar pair of safety /ANSI glasses..... I've got a friend who lost an eye shooting steel plates in a training environment,he'd give anything to get it back.....plus it cost him a boatload of money trying.....

[NRA]

yes, doubt it happened

Quite poorly done too. Everything but him is at an obviously significantly lower rez and compression level, probably cropped out of another shot and enlarged.

This was posted on another board a few days ago, and everyone is going on about it.

 

I am amazed that so few people can tell, at first viewing, 'Oh, this is fake.'

Looked like this guy needed more than safety glasses. A brain may help.

I couldn't tell. Being R/G color blind really make distinguishing differences in resolution difficult. Nice to know he ain't that stupid.

The large pixelated bands in the explosion should be dead giveaway even in grayscale. Looks like a watercolor applied effect it's so bad.

 

Fact that it's not even a video, but an animated GIF image, just further degrades it too (only 256 colors).

Even without the bad editing, common sense would say that someone there has an FEL and the ATF would be all over them for allowing someone to stand next to an explosion.

Here's example of a pretty well faked vid:

The shaky hand held part actually lends credence.

Wow Mac, that's scary because fake or not, it's VERY plausible.  The Golden Eagle IS capable.  

 

I see what you meant on the first video though after watching it on a bigger screen.
