Reassisted Retrogression
The muzzle flashes on the accidental shots look suspicious and the bullet casings don't bounce or roll at all when they hit the floor.

I'm gonna say the case down the shirt is real but the rest is video effects.

Yep. Cases are on the floor when the gif begins , disappear just before the sweeper passes, then reappear.

Edit: Waved the barrel at the sweeper. Dude still needed to be tackled to the ground and kidney punched for good measure.

Yeah, the gun doesn't recoil either when he's waving it around and nobody even reacts to the "shots."

I came across this quote about that incident.

a news article posted:

Some neighbors told KGO-TV San Francisco that "MythBusters" often tries its experiments in the area, and they had grown used to hearing explosions. But some residents expressed anger that the televised science experiments were occurring so close to their homes.
No one wants a cannon ball through their house. But the thing that's so close to your homes is a bomb desposal range. Come on.

The guy looks at the gun and then the sweeper. The sweeper starts dodging away at the very end of the gif.

Apparently he got it removed

quote:

A vietnamese man waited two days to go to hospital after getting a three inch nail lodged in his head – and can’t even remember how it got there

Astonishing snaps of the man were shared by doctor Le Hoang Anh from Military Hospital 354 in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi.

The nail measuring more than 3 inches had been lodged in the man’s brain - but he somehow managed to wait two full days before seeking help on his 60th birthday - March 23.

Dr Le said the patient "didn’t recall" how the accident happened and didn't mention of any mental disorders or even a possible murder attempt.

It is understood that the patient underwent surgery at Military Hospital 354.

Isn't the brain strangely resilient to acute trauma like that? Like most head trauma kills you cause it scrambles everything up to the autonomous part or causes deadly bleeding, but your big meaty lobes can be sliced and diced acutely to unknown effects.

Like a nail gun injury like that comes with its own trepan in case of infection or swelling and if everything's still getting blood and connected to the autonomous part of the brain then its just business as usual with a hole in your head.

This is strikingly similar to how they used to do lobotomies/leucotomies. Couple pokes with a nail or ice pick, send you on your way.

The brain is weird and a mess. You have people that live from an early age having a hemisphere removed due to life threatening seizures and they'll grow up fine. or the case of a man who had his brain compressed into a layer around skull but still working mostly.

Yeah it looks like it only hit the corpus callosum (the hemisphere interconnect) and the fourth ventricle (where cerebrospinal fluid is produced). If he heals without infection or too much blood loss, he’ll be pretty ok. If I had to have a nail that big shot through my skull, that’s p much exactly where I’d put it

I once helped a guy who got a butchers knife up to the hilt through his eye after blowing something up in his shed. Saw him getting around, with difficulty, a few months later, so the brain can take some punishment.

The pain would only register in your scalp, skull, and meninges, your white and gray matter themselves have no pain receptors. It would hurt a fuckton (depending on how much your skull were fractured), but a lot less than most other parts of your body.

Unfortunately some people still think it is ok to let kids operate farm equipment.

An Irish got my wife and I got to know when we lived in Japan (he was an english teacher and so was my wife) returned home to work on his family's sheep farm. He was in his 20s I think. I guess he put his foot in a grain auger and had to have his leg amputated. He has a metal leg now, and it's really sad because people expect him to either be all sunshine and flowers, or else bitter about it. They have expectations about how he should feel about this life changing accident. He's not the bitter sort but his leg was crushed and loving obliterated in front of his eyes while he was fully conscious. He has PTSD from it and sometimes he is angry and other times times sad because he misses his goddamn leg.

I'd probably pick an oblique angle along the superior sagittal sinus. You could maybe avoid hitting the brain altogether or even fully puncturing the dura, and so long as you got to an ER before taking it out, you probably wouldn't bleed out.

But I guess that's only if you had like, a surgeon or someone else with pinpoint knowledge of head-bones putting the nail in your dome.
