sorry but *stuff happens*

I cannot view the pic(s), but...I get the idea.

Realy? If you want to prove that such-and-such "cannot" happen, and you choose to "prove" this with a loaded firearm...and you are wrong...then yes, you have proven yourself to be an idiot.

And the evidence is on display for all the world to see.
 
1) My God was it stupid to put a gun against your body and pull the trigger- IF I ever did that, I would make check 10 times to make sure the gun was unloaded, no magazine, etc. And then I would check 10 more times.

2) My God that is a painful injury to look at... destroyed his limb. Ouch... The awesome power of a handgun round at point blank range...
 
Let's make a concerted effort not to become shining examples of what happens when we fail to observe gun safety ourselves.

He does have a rather unique tattoo of a 1911 on the entrance side though.
 
Man, that out-side of the bullet really appears painful to me. I cannot imagine the pain of those muscles, tendons and nerves all mooshed up together. He may always have pain from that shot. Phantom pain may start creeping in for anything that is now gone.:uhoh:

Yes, that he DOES HAVE.
The ugly side might stay pretty ugly as well.
 
beats the 460 thumb removal pics. that second pic is horrible.I'm also guessing it was gas and pressure. awful for all involved, including the unfortunate souls that just had to whitness it.
 
I have a 500 Magnum and I have had my hands near the cylinder gap when firing and it didn't rip any holes in my skin. The towel I lay on a wooden block gets a beating after 20 shots or so, it kind of starts shredding.

I wondered with the .460 thumb if he might have inadvertantly cut his hand on an old window pane he was possibly using as a rest. Yup, that was nasty as well!
 
I vote with the "he was an idiot to demonstrate that way." If one wants to demonstrate that a 1911 won't fire out of battery the gun can be pressed against something non-animate and with the muzzle down range, outdoors.
 
Ahh yes.

The fallacy of total certainty, coupled with the illusion of invincibility, greeted by the enlightening glow of reality.

I feel far less for this man than the unidentified person with the gutshot. The gutshot will be far, far worse. If I were either of these unlucky individuals.... My first call outside of the hospital would be to a lawyer. Albeit for slightly different reasons
 
What General Geoff said, I'm going to send those pictures to 1 or 2 buddies that could be just a tad safer :)

THIS!!:(

He was stupid.

Stupid enough to likely nearly die.

While the brachial is not as large as the femoral artery, it is large enough to bleed you out in a short time.
 
With contact wounds, the expanding gases always do more damage than the bullet does. The lowly .38 158 grain lead round nose, striking from 10 feet punches a neat hole. Press the muzzle of a snub against the belly with the same round, and the gas plug explodes the hollow organs. Very nasty stuff.

That arm is ruined.
 
This is a tragic situation - definitely life changing. Following firearm safety rules is paramount. I owned a firearm that had two negligent discharges. I take full ownership for the discharges, which occurred as the pistol's decocker mechanism was engaged (there was a problem with the pistol). Fortunately, in both discharges, the muzzle was pointed down-range in a safe direction. There is no way I would place a muzzle against any part of my body and pull the trigger - even with an empty revolver - just no way.

There is an account in the back of one of Col. Cooper's books of a suicide using a .30-06 and a cartridge the bullet was pulled from.

Even surprisingly low pressure gas can do a lot of damage in the body.

Some of the less knowledgeable teenagers have tried huffing from helium cylinders instead of filling the balloon first and then using them to create the 'squeak effect" in talking.

A few have managed to remove themselves from the gene pool.
