They also introduced the G3 during the Rhodesian bush war. That said, no one wins, the innocent suffer and politicians make stupid decisions, while they sit at home, safe with their families.

Shooting the bee just reminded me of goose hunting with my buddy in highschool. Out in the afternoon and nothing is flying, dragon flies buzzing everywhere so I start leading them with the shotgun. Buddy goes you ain't gonna hit one just as one is flying perfectly away from me. Bang and you just see wings float to the ground
I used to do this alot. I think the reasons pumpkins react so little as to what is expected to happen is that inside they are mostly hollow, whereas if this was done with watermelons you find much more the expected reaction. The Gunny (RIP) R. Lee Ermy preferred the watermelon as his enemy of choice. Great video GT, it's so cool to see you having so much fun. I'd love to go shooting with you some day.
Me (wearing earbuds, tucked deep in my ear canals): "Wow. I'm so excited to see a new Garand Thumb video! Let's click this thumbnail!" The first second of this video: "BOOOM! SCREW YOUR EAR DRUMS! GOOD LUCK HEARING YOUR LOVED ONES EVER AGAIN! TANERITE AND PUMPKIN MACHIATTO MAFUGGAH!!!!"
Grantham: Scots from Kentucky he's never been to school. Grantham: we are shooting 5 pumpkins. Camera man: that's 4 pumpkins Scott: Laughing Kentuckyan!
This video immediately got upgraded to best UA-cam video of all time when you shot that bee!! Speaking as someone that bees have tried to kill twice within a year, so I may be slightly biased...
Next time cut a hole in the top and fill them with water. It’ll help more of the energy actually get transferred to the pumpkin, and will cause a much more satisfying explosion

A .45 ACP hitting that wasp was like a person getting hit by a bus.
Honestly. I really fucking love the way Mike is taking the channel. His "serious" videos when he is reviewing a product are awesome and I watch them all the way through every time. But the fact he's putting out more videos where he's just being his typical, sigma Chad self, are just that much more awesome and I still watch them all the way through but with a big ol' shit eating grin on my face. Love you dad, I'll see you at home for dinner once you get back from getting the milk
LOL
So now GT can claim he can "shoot the wings off a wasp" ... nice shot bro!
Or shot a wasp off its wings
Shooting the bee just reminded me of goose hunting with my buddy in highschool. Out in the afternoon and nothing is flying, dragon flies buzzing everywhere so I start leading them with the shotgun. Buddy goes you ain't gonna hit one just as one is flying perfectly away from me. Bang and you just see wings float to the ground
slightly less impressive...but your buddy was a hater LOL
I bet you felt badass as fuck in that moment
@@swaggitty242 yup and we proceeded for the next half hour to waste a box of shells repeating the process....tho not always succeeding
I used to do this alot. I think the reasons pumpkins react so little as to what is expected to happen is that inside they are mostly hollow, whereas if this was done with watermelons you find much more the expected reaction.
The Gunny (RIP) R. Lee Ermy preferred the watermelon as his enemy of choice.
Great video GT, it's so cool to see you having so much fun. I'd love to go shooting with you some day.
"Surprisingly not as big as you'd think" If I had a dollar everytime I heard that one
Me (wearing earbuds, tucked deep in my ear canals):
"Wow. I'm so excited to see a new Garand Thumb video! Let's click this thumbnail!"
The first second of this video:
"BOOOM! SCREW YOUR EAR DRUMS! GOOD LUCK HEARING YOUR LOVED ONES EVER AGAIN! TANERITE AND PUMPKIN MACHIATTO MAFUGGAH!!!!"
Clearly 22 is the best pistol caliber. Science is amazing and we all should just trust the science
Yeah, but can you kill a bee or wasp with it?
...Maybe if it was being shot out of a 1911?
@@sigspearthumb3249 if anything was shot out of a 1911 it would win. Two world wars man
Your lines of thinking and questioning keep me constantly engaged.
The M203, the real pumpkin spice
i love the spooky dancing boi and background music, just loud enough to enjoy, not loud enough to drown out the beautiful content
The pumpkin either disappeared due to the experimental 5.56 round... OR IT BECAME A SPOOKY GHOST AND IS GOING TO HAUNT US FOREVER
AHHHHHHHHH
I'll take a spooky ghost pumpkin friend. We can get into shenanigans together.
When he shot the bee i fucking lost it. That was hilarious.
thank you for the spooky skeleton dance.gif in the corner, making sure that this video is 100% halloween
Grantham: Scots from Kentucky he's never been to school.
Grantham: we are shooting 5 pumpkins.
Camera man: that's 4 pumpkins
Scott: Laughing Kentuckyan!
He’s gonna come back to that area by next summer and see a mile of pumpkin patch growing lmao
The twerking skeleton in the bottom left made my day. Your humor just relates to me so much. Love your videos.
Not gonna lie man, your last dozen videos have made me laugh, smile, and want to buy stuff so bad!!! Awesome work !!!!
5.56 is enough to blow someone's bicep off!
Some kid named Kyle told me that
i love the videos when micah talks a lot, you guys are so entertaining together lol
That decision to shoot the wasp was such a bro decision xD and the screams of excitement after where just as funny
This video immediately got upgraded to best UA-cam video of all time when you shot that bee!! Speaking as someone that bees have tried to kill twice within a year, so I may be slightly biased...
The face Mike made when he loaded that slug with malicious intent, absolute gold
My doctor: "Commie pumpkins aren't real and they can't hurt you"
Flannel Daddy:
Next time cut a hole in the top and fill them with water. It’ll help more of the energy actually get transferred to the pumpkin, and will cause a much more satisfying explosion
