I once saw a reservist get some 9mm brass down the front of his shirt on the pistol range. He literally threw his gun in the air and started dancing around trying to get it out before the RSO called cease fire and threw his rear end off the range. Probably the most surreal thing I've ever seen at a gun shoot.

I forget what portion of our front-page traffic comes through that, but it was higher than I expected by a fair amount. My coworker, a pretty apt web developer, always starts Chrome, types "www.google.com" into the omnibar and enters the term he's actually searching for into the google search box that pops up. I don't know why.

Oh come on you can't mention that, especially not in this thread, without noting that the translation from ancient Arabic is unclear, and it could've meant "72 raisins" as well. It even makes sense they had that as a heavenly gift, because raisins were an extremely rare treat back then.

It's I remember seeing a video shortly after the 2003 invasion where this group of idiots in a converted Toyota technical tried to do a drive by of a loving tank column. The gun cam just shows the turret adjusting and the coaxial machine gun turning the truck into confetti. Wish I could still find it because I was equal parts amazed and appalled.

Well if we're honoring stupid insurgents filming stupid poo poo, the Iraqi sniper who aimed for the center-mass on a soldier with body armor and then waited to see what would happen next has to rank somewhere near the top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-UNFSZ8VKU FCKGW posted:It's a webcam you dolt You can change whether the image is mirrored in the settings for whatever modern webcam you're using.

Best thing about that incident is that the guy he shot spotted him, pointed him out, helped chase him down, and was actually the guy who put the zip-ties around the shooter. Imagine that. You shoot a guy in the chest from 75 yards with a full-length rifle cartridge, you knock him down, he pops back up and runs after you and takes you prisoner. You'd think you just shot Superman.

Pompous Del Taco manager working the drive-thru treats customers like poo poo after they ask for sauce they never received, customers record manager's arrogant attitude. https://vimeo.com/164426807 quote:I don't give a gently caress, bro. Post it, go ahead. Where you gonna post it, YouTube? No one's gonna fuckin' see it. It wasn't YouTube, but plenty of people saw it on Vimeo, and the dude was fired immediately after Del Taco found out about it. Bonus frooty for the "I am the boss, my dad's the loving owner, so good luck with that" comment like he was untouchable.

I'm mostly surprised at their restraint and not doing what I thought he was initially doing and blowing them away with the guns on top of the vehicle. I guess they figured they were stuck in an allahu ackbar loop and weren't much of a threat anymore.
