Its okay daddy
Yoooo
Ok farher
Hi😊
Brandon: "The PKM is just an upside-down AK."
Also Brandon: "The AK is basically an upside-down Garand."
Therefore: "The PKM is a Garand."
As a mathematics major, I agree.
"Sir, does that mean the SVD and Saiga are also Garand? Or am I getting this equation wrong?"
I mean, you’re not that far off.
Deep.
Brandon needs to confirm this factuality NOW
Fun fact, apparently that Pedro kid was testing the penetration of the Desert Eagle before the "stunt"
What i think happened is that when he was testing how much the .50AE penetrates, he stacked a lot of books one after another and shot them. The force of the impact dissipates and transfers through the pages and books so it can happen that the bullet stops in the fist book.
To someone not knowledgeable in terminal ballistics this would seem like only one thick book will stop the .50AE which is definitely not the case
There is an old episode of Miami Vice where they hide behind a palette full of fake money from enemy fire.
Mythbusters fact checked whether they would be legit cover, and it was, even the firearms specialist they had on set confirmed it.
But that was a FULL PALETTE, not just a single book. And they only used 9mm i think.
I remember that part of the story, even after all these years. I used it to warn my younger cousins once.
So when he tested it was it stopped by only one book?
Did he hold it too tightly against his chest and that's why it penetrated?
Man, that video was heavy. I'd never heard of him.
@@TransRoofKorean The impression I got was he stacked multiple books into a pile the same size as the encyclopedia. Problem is the covers and small amounts of space between them did a lot to slow the bullet down. It's been a while so I might be off, but that should be roughly what happened.
@@TransRoofKorean No. The energy is dissipated much better when there are other objects behind what receives the energy. In this case, during the test, subsequent books dissipate energy so much that the first book has less energy on the same surface. More books, more mass to absorb energy, less energy per single sheet of paper. Later, in a fatal test, only one book had to absorb all the energy of the bullet, there was nowhere to spread it (there was no more mass of the books to share this energy), so the energy of the bullet defeated the strength of one book and unfortunately it also defeated this guy.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how sharp that knife had to be for him to not immediately even realize what he had done
Or maybe how exceptionally slow his brain was to not even process pain that fast
We've all poked our stomach with a knife but our kitchen steak knives are blunt af compared to that lol
@@lukethelazymachine3687 I can say for sure that I have never poked my own stomach with a knife to test the sharpness.
@@lukethelazymachine3687 Nah, just slow people do that.
"Call 911.... and i am buying this knife" - probably the idiot from the clip
5:40
"Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics."
I mean, theres a reason that a paper test is used for sharpness, or you can gently rub your thumb sideways against the edge, if theres resistance odds are its sharp enough to cut. Take this from the man with years of experience and scars on his hands from a number of mistakes and mishandlings. They can be more dangerous than guns even if you follow safety rules. Only difference is guns have range.
If I had a dime for each time Brandon had to reupload a Darwin Awards video, I’d have at least one dime. Idk how many times this has happened
Remember people, Matt Hoover is still in jail
I knew I remembered seeing this up a couple hours ago
*"You must be new here sir."*
Mathew Hoover is still in jail -while Hunter Biden and Alec Baldwin are NOT.
Trust we have more than one
Sometimes I forget Brandon is only 28. Dude looks 35, is wise and "mature" like 53, yet plays like 22. What a well-rounded guy.
dude looks like he is 38 at least LOL!
Good Lord, the dude is only a year older than me. The hell am I doing with my life?
@@Majima_Nowhere not everyone can be like "them". Just life I guess...
Yeah for real, guy looks like he could've been my dad if he had me early, and instead he could've been my classmate if he failed a couple.
its the cursed gun images .... they let him age
I like how empathetic Brandon was with Pedro. The guy was stupid and ultimately paid with his life. At least Brandon humanized it and taught us all the absolute importance of gun safety.
Exactly. We've all done stupid sh*t. Especially when we were kids. People just bagging on the kid and saying "one less dumbass" is a betrayal of the fact that we were all young and dumb (and a lot of us are probably still doing stupid sh*t). It was dumb, poorly thought out, and all of that. But ultimately, he was a kid who others cared about. It's too bad.
@duwaynesteurer4287 I mean sure we've all been young and dumb, but what he did is still terminally retarded. Out of all the things he could have used to put behind the book, why did he choose himself. Just in the case it does penetrate through, which it did because it's a 50 AE of course it was going too, why not use something like a big 5 gallon water jug? A 2 liter soda bottle. A cinder block. Ballistics gel block or torso. Another fucking book a few inches behind the first one. Just the idea of putting yourself in the direct path of any bullet, let alone of the strongest handgun cartridges in the world, just sounds like a shit idea to anyone with a quarter common sense.
@@duwaynesteurer4287%100
Imagine being the girlfriend who killed him. She is alive but carries the guilt and the stigma.
That Pedro video rang all sorts of bells for me. From using books as backstops with varying success, to trying to double tap a 50 AE desert eagle, to my buddy trying to convince his wife to test body armour on him (It turns out the body armour was just a sales demo to check sizing and had no bullet stopping capability).
Brandon: Here’s what not to do with guns.
UA-cam: This might teach people how to handle guns improperly.
Brandon: I don’t think you understand how learning works.
They don’t understand their own TOS, so this is nothing new :\
@@lemagicbaguette1917 oh they understand them fully
@@Texasplitthe double standards going around would say otherwise
Understand? I doubt the people enforcing rules on UA-cam even read them. Probably just skim the titles so when they want to ban something, they know which to use as an excuse.@@Texasplit
@@slickmann1 They do it very intentionally.
I genuinely care about firearm safety. The son of an old coworker of mine lost his life to an accidental ND while actively safing one of their rifles to clean after a hunting trip. A few months later, I ran into him at a Wal-Mart and I had my oldest with me (he was about 2 at the time), and seeing that man start bawling up because my son made him think of his boy hit me in portion of my feels that I would never wish upon any parent. So please everyone reading the comments, truly be safe. Even when being safe, be extra safe and cautious.
You can never be too careful. Just because they just so happen to be a fantastically entertaining past time doesn't detract from the whole reason they were created in the first place. Thanks for sharing, bud. Sorry you had to go through that.
I don’t understand. How can you have a ND with a rifle, after a hunting trip while “saving” it? You can break any one rule of firearms safety and it’s still dang hard to kill anyone by accident. You really have to break 2. (Unless you use expanded rules) there are 4. I like “Cotten Pickers” rules for gun safety.
Treat every Cotten picking gun as loaded, never point a Cotten picking gun at…..
@@larrythompson8630 Damn. You just showed us 2 things with extreme efficiency; How much you *think* you know about firearms, and how much you actually *do* know about firearms. I can name about 6 ways that this could have easily happened. Which do you want to hear first? Name a weapon system and I'll fill you in. Magazine fed bolt action rifle? Semi automatic rifle? Single shot bolt action? Go ahead...
P.S. He never said "saving it." He clearly said "safing it." Like, making the rifle "safe."
@@eamonia oh my. I didn’t catch autocorrect. The type of long arm does not matter. Unless really unusual situation. If the muzzle is not pointed close to a person. They will not get hit. Yes really rare times a bullet could bounce back. Most bounces are in line with muzzle in expanding cone.
Some guns can go off without the trigger being pulled. Mostly poor upkeep, with a few exceptions. I have carried a variety of firearms. Loaded pistol, rifle, shotgun. Never hurt anyone, anything I have not intended.
So they drove all the way back home with a loaded hunting rifle in their car?
2:44 “I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took a shotgun to the ass” 🤣🤣
As a modded Skyrim player with modern weapons I’d definitely love to hear that as a dialogue line🤣🤣🤣
Rule 5. Understand your weapon's hot and moving parts. (Dont get slide bite, scope eye, or grab your shotgun barrel)
Part B for the muzzle discipline rule. Keep your hands from slipping in front of the barrel.
Part B for understand your target rule. Understand the distance, and where you can miss. (Especially with medium to long range handguns or shotguns)
You're exactly right. When it comes to the understanding your target rule, the best way I've heard it explained was by John Lovell of the Warrior Poet Society: "Be aware of your target, where it is, and what surrounds it: what's in front of it, what's behind it, to the left and to the right of it." I personally feel that this helps a bit to account for overpenetration
The story about Pedro hits hard. Many years ago, my brother put on a used (repeat, USED) ballistic vest, and told a 16 y/o kid to shoot him with an air rifle. The pellet went straight through the vest and lodged in his heart. The local DA pushed hard for a manslaughter charge, but we managed to fight it down. We didn't want that poor kid's life fucked up more than it already was.
Oddly enough that is something that I didn't like about bullet proof vests. They seemed to make some people act stupid because they think they are invincible.
Ooofh, that is awful man. Sorry for your brother's loss of life, and good on you for pushing not to prosecute the kid who really was the mechanism of the malfunction more than malicious actor. You're good people.
Y’all are good people for doing that for the poor kid. That act of forgiveness most likely helped him a lot.
You, sir, are a good man. Thank you for what you and your family did for that kid. I hope he made something of his life after that.
I respect that you hammered it home that the vest was 'used' in that scenario, helping remove any fault from that 16 y/o from the outside viewers reading your story... May your brother rest in peace, you are a good man for forgiving something that could have easily ruined that 16 y/o's life
I love when gross incompetence meets the phrase "no balls"
Lmao
Famous last words
“And that’s the story of why Your dad has no balls”
“To accurate for sand people” I pissed myself laughing 🤣
That part at the end where Brandon says "he's afraid that he might accidentally inspire some kid to do this" really makes me feel for him. If you ever read this Brandon, just know that through videos like these, as "funny" as they are, your teaching people a real lesson, and i hope you continue to do so, it would be a lie for me to say that you haven't taught me a thing or two, not just about guns, but about respect, and not just for the gun itself. Keep fighting the good fight, for the sake of those kids.
It's Not common to see Brandon kinda serious and sincere like that. gives me a huge reason to respect you.
Sitting where he is, I can understand why. As he said, they are roughly the same age, and he is worried he may have been an inspiration for something like this happening. I love the fact that with all the fun and goofiness Brandon gives us, he always preaches and practices safety.
The fact that you work so hard to stress and push the necessity for safety, while showing how fun and badass guns are, is worthy of the highest amount of praise and respect. Also, best of luck on your run for Congress.
It might feel silly to some to treat a weapon you know is empty as if it were loaded but doing this over and over creates muscle memory and when something goes wrong you will be very glad that you have this safety mindset that took place so instinctively because of repetition and it saved your life and/or the life of someone else.
Brandon I so appreciate how compassionate you were towards Pedro at the end. Knowing you do this series to actually help and educate people on firearm safety is really awesome. You are saving lives.❤
I remember a gun instructor teaching us gun safety told us that every gun safety rule is written in blood
Like flight rules except they use smoking holes.
It is! So is every safety rule in ordinance publications.
Applies to so many safety rules across so many industries. Dont store radioactive materials in dormitories, don't send people into confined spaces without an air supply, don't use acid without gloves and goggles, Etc..
Or fingers in today's video. 😅
I had gun training back in 2014 and about 95% of the entire program was simply how to handle the gun in a safe manner. The last two weeks of the course were when we went to the range to shoot.
It’s not the gun. It’s the person behind it.
If that guy with the shotgun were using a double-barrel, he could have produced one of the most horrifying ER "shoving things where they don't belong" stories imaginable.
Shotgun enema
12 gauge condom
New meaning to the term assblasted
Bro did not understand what backshots meant
love this series for the educational and entertainment value it provides. i'm a new a gun owner, or at least will be after the 10 day wait from purchase that california forces... there are common sense examples but also examples of what not to do when guns decide to malfunction and you have adrenaline pumping. i hope you continue with this series and remain funded for it :)
I like what you did at the end, I feel it came from the heart. Thanks
You really did Pedro a solid for treating what went on with such respect, kindness and empathy. These traits are also vital to have being a gun owner/user. Thank you for being a healthy example for the young men who dont have proper male influence in the home. Our country is hurting for men like you. Keep pushing! ♥️
Based woman on the internet, must be a fed.
RIP to Pedro man. He did seem like a sweet kid. Unfortunately instead of testing the .50AE on just the encyclopedia, he put his life at risk.
Should’ve used a bible too
I dunno man, i have never shot a gun, never owned one, but watched gun vids so i know that 50AE will punch through 1 encyclopedia easy. It seems to me like he want to die but don't wanna do it on his own..
@@johncarloexconde5488honestly that's what I originally thought back when this first happened. Like maybe it was plan to get life insurance benefits for his wife, but after watching his video it honestly didn't seem like he had ulterior motive to either suicide or purposely kill himself for financial benefit. It just seems as if he were a dumb rich kid who really didn't understand the consequences of violating gun safety rules. He didn't see death coming from a such a mistake.
@@Mr.InbetweenFX it really baffles me that he decided to stand behind the encyclopedia target. He could've just put some pork meat or something fleshy to simulate human torso. I'll never know his reasons to do the thing that lead to his demise
He tested the idea on a stack of books before, didn't realize why that wouldn't apply to 1 big book.
Starship Troopers is the greatest scifi comedy ever, with the exception of Spaceballs.
Thank you so much for including gun safety and taking it seriously
Daaaamn, imagine having to take down a video because you’re just trying to teach people what not to do and how to be safe. Keep up the good work Brandon!
RIP to Pedro. Seemed like a decent kid. Unfortunately just did something incredibly foolish. Hope this story ends up stopping others from doing something like it. As Brandon said, Guns are fun but they're not toys.
Are you wearing one of the Fat Electrician's T-shirts? Awesome, I will definitely subscribe and press like on every video you post. That dude quickly became one of my favorite channels and there ain't no video of his that will be monetized. That show of support is really great.
The only time I can think of that you made me emotional, you always make me laugh but I'm glad you did that end segment like that.. hopefully everyone was paying attention.
I appreciate the serious dad life lessons coming seldom, but they're appreciated when they're here. I remember hearing about Pedro when his accident happened, and it's very sobering to hear about it again in this context. Thanks for humanizing him and giving us a way to relate to him through yourself. Might be one of my favorite Darwin Awards yet!
Hearing that soliloquy of his sounded like some real life foreshadowing. He knew that it was a stupid stunt and that he may die from it, but he did it anyway...
@@Chaos89P It's my personal belief that he was doing this to kind of clear his girlfriend's name if he did die. I don't know why else he would say all of that other than giving her evidence to save her from a murder charge.
@@Chaos89PHe seemed lile a devout christian and set this up as a form of suicide that would exclude him from doing it himself, and his GF from the law.
I once handed a firearm to a friend who was ex military. While describing the grip mounted Lazer I said "if you squeeze..." and before I got to "...the back of the grip." He squeezed the trigger. Fortunately, he had it pointed in a safe direction, and no one was even scratched, although he did get a nice hole in the floor.
THAT experience taught me several things all at once.
1. I needed to be way more careful, and have never since handed anyone a loaded gun, regardless of perceived level of training.
2. Military doesn't mean excellent gun training.
3. Gun shots inside are loud and terrifying.
4. I am way more concerned about making sure ALL the rules are followed and added 3 or 4 more personally.
Number 2 especially if they were in the navy. No one carries around a gun on a ship (other than marines) and they only time they fire a gun is in basic. I have a co worker who was in the navy and told me this. I imagine it’s probably similar for the Air Force and coast guard
@@goldenfiberwheat238 atleast in the RAAF, yeah they get trained on assault rifles, bolt actions, and pistols, but they dont actively carry them unless there specifically security or have a reason to, but i am pretty sure pistols are somewhat actively carried, do fact check me on this as im not sure
@@goldenfiberwheat238 I mean technically they are sailing a giant gun. So I can see why it isn't a worry for them. lol. Dude was Army though. We did learn something else, he has PTSD and gunshots freak him out, but he didn't freak after the ND. It was kind of a break thu for him.
As someone in the military your first mistake was handing a gun to one of us morons. Look we are trained to maintain and look after guns we even perform NSPs every time we receive one however most people in the military are like 17-25 and that’s the age when you are at max stupid
@@scottjackson1636 What was his MOS? I'm seriously curious at this point.
I love these videos! Keep them coming.
Man I have got to say I haven't pressed the like button on UA-cam in years but this video was amazing 😂😂😂 thank you!
the fear and despair in brandon’s eyes when he saw that him and pedro would’ve been the same age is actually devastating.
Now imagine my face when I find out Brandon is 4 years younger than me. 😢
I thought when I grow up I'd be able to grow a nice beard like Brandon. I just found out I'm a whole year older than him. XD @@georgeschnakenberg7808
I'm shocked to find out Brandon is 27?? I was thinking he was older... 😳I am wrong...
The same age as my kid. I can’t even imagine….
That blew my mind when he said that about the age I didn't think he'd be younger
That dude “testing” the knife needs to be put on a watch list.
I think it’s more likely he didn’t mean to stab himself than he was testing how a knife would work against a person using himself as the test dummy.
Why? The most the FBI will do is say "he was on our radar."
@@jhutch1470they haven’t gotten me yet
First time watching, now follower! Great message!
LOL at the "Top tier transition there" that jumps in for one frame. 3:22
That one with Pedro hit home. A friend of a friend and his wife decided to practice home clearing with their shotguns. They used real guns, didn't clear the guns, and he ended up shooting to death the woman he'd married less than a year before.
Now I'm sad reading that
Is that the story he told the cops?
@@Ryan-re1rs lmao
@@Ryan-re1rs It was the truth. And he did go to jail for it.
@@JimFosterVO I don't know which is worse... he shot her because he was that stupid or murdered her out of malice.
The serious tone and the way you hear Brandon speak at the end of the video shows just how much he cares about safety, the people getting involved in it, and the people who support him. As much as it is a grim topic to speak on and a tragic thing to come to realizations with, it is a heartwarming thing to not only be able to see how much someone cares but hear it in their voice too.
He is just not very funny or entertaining. Keep it straight to clips and then explain and educate with the safety issues
The information about Pedro also definitely hit him hard.
This is what I get being the first time I watched this guy's content and reading comments before it finished. I saw "...Brandon speak at the end..." I thought that was a sarcastic post and immediately scrolled to the end thinking I was going to see an old dude trip up a flight of stairs after saying something unintelligible. Then after seeing nothing I realized thats the guy's name lol.
If you teach people when their young about reality, America may not be as ignorance as a lot of the population are today!
Your grammar and spelling definitely prove your point.
The breakdown at the end, calling to the humanity and consideration for the guys soul I thought was especially valuable
Oh my lawd 🤣 thank you sir for the much needed laughs!!
Yeah, we need more Arab weddings.
I feel like I almost won a Darwin Award once, but it was because I was trying to teach someone new how to fire a 9mm SAFELY.... he ignored all safety instructions and was overwhelmed by the sound. He had 3 rounds in a semi-auto (that I didn't know he had) and turned around after the first shot aiming the gun at my groin with his finger still on the trigger! After that, I am very selective about who I allow to shoot in my vicinity. Thanks Brandon for continuously putting an emphasis on safety... it is disturbing to see so much lack of awareness is floating around.
I too learned the hard way.. One round only if you're unsure of the person. Though I've simply gravitated to avoiding "unknowns" as a whole when it comes to guns, lol. I dont have time to be catching lead. Made it this far without doing so, haha.
Newbies get 1 round. Even then, I watch them like a hawk.
I start with one round in a new gun for myself. Figure out what its characteristics are and build from there.
@@Name-ps9fx Agreed. It was a friend's gun and he handed it to him. I thought he had only one. You can probably imagine how shocked I was when he continued firing after he flashed me with it. I immediately got behind some cover after that lol
@@scumbaag Absolutely agree. That's exactly my point of view now lol.
I have never laughed so hard at a video and then immediately feel so serious at the end in my life. There are a lot of people who need to hear the Brandon's message about firearm safety. I practice safety as much as humanly possible but every once in a while I hear a story that really reinforces my beliefs in being precautious
#MakeAmericaSafeAgain, if to sum this up.
Bro same... The Sand people clip had me crying.. And then by the end you could tell even Brandon was just sad and done with the video ...
OK... I just gotta say thank you for the Skyrim reference. Perfectly placed.
For anyone interested about the military clip:
The guy appears to speak a certain variant of french, and what he says could be translated as follows:
- Don't move ! (bang)
- Don't move ! (re-bang)
- Did I hit ya or not ?
The original video won a Darwin Award
That end is a strong and clear message. As much as youre having fun, safety comes always first, education and entertainment second. Thank you, Brandon, for putting it back out there. More people need to know that in this world, we really only have one life and one safety violation from death.
I really appreciate how you took the time to appreciate the life of the poor kid, and one of my church teachers who I respected so much told us a couple times that she believes that Christ looks after children and fools especially, I know Pedro is being taken care of
@BrandonHerrera Go figure that this one is my favorite, and you coincidentally wore this same shirt outside of the Denver Capitol today. Thanks for being there, man! Much obliged. Also, my kids and I really appreciated the opportunity to meet you!
I live 15 miles from Pedro. Poor girl. He supposedly tested it with other books. Sad day for sure. Also I commend you for promoting safety, even how obvious it really is thank you
His intro sounds to me as if this was suicide by his girl's hand.
@@OneAngryVelociraptorThat's exactly what I feel like it was, essentially unintended assisted suicide. Unintended as in, she possibly wasn't privy to what was planned.
@@OneAngryVelociraptor exactly what I thought. It's like he knew he was going to die and leave a child behind and this was his way of manipulating it, not just for the law but also to avoid a mortal sin. How sad.
The first thing I thought when I saw that back in the day was: "Why did he use a .50 AE?"
@@OneAngryVelociraptorI agree. Even in his final video, it was pretty clear to me that homie was ready ti go for whatever reason.
“too accurate for sand people” is craaazy😂
surprised this video is still up lmaooooo
You do a great job on this show props, but when I watch it, it makes me hurt all over😂
ayo the obi wan joke was outta pocket asf litterally made my entire month
As one of the 3 Californians out there that hate our gun laws, I approve of this message.
California's gun "rights"
Rights that’s fucking hilarious
@@kaylox5798 😂
Wait , Did you just say we in Commiefornia have rights ? LMFAO !!!! Dude youre funny !
Hey! I'm 2 of three!
As someone who used to do black powder cowboy shows, remember, blanks are NOT "safe". Treat them just like any live round!
Thanks Brandon for pushing the safety rules as often as you do.
Good luck with your run for Congress.
I know it wasn't black powder but sombody shoulda told alic that
@@CooperTheHunter I'll give Alec credit, the gun should've been cleared by the prop department.
But I'm taking that credit away for him not having first checked the cylinder himself to confirm it. ANYONE who has handled a firearm would know to do that. Not just know, refuse to handle it until having made that confirmation.
@@krel7160It was part of his job as an actor to check that it was loaded, or watch it be loaded, per actors guild. Not only that, but it was his movie.
Yeah, as someone who once, long ago caught a buddy's hair on fire with an 1851 Navy revolver loaded with less than 1 grain of powder and a cotton ball, I can back you up.
Yeah the burnt powder inside the casing still comes out. That’s one of the reasons the military uses blank firing adapters. Not quite as deadly as a bullet, but still dangerous.
I live 10 minutes from warwood tools. Great company, love them guys
damn that last one did it for me for the night happy new year gentle men much love
I grew up around guns and also served in the military. When I was taught gun safety, these were the rules:
1. Always assume a firearm is loaded
2. Never hand someone a loaded firearm
3. Always check the chamber when picking up a firearm
4. Always keep a firearm pointed in a safe direction until ready to shoot
5. Never put your finger on the trigger until ready to shoot
6. Always be aware of your target and what is behind it
7. Never point a firearm at anything you aren't willing to destroy
I wasn't around guns or ever fired one until my late teens and I already knew every single one of these rules. They're utterly ubiquitous. People just don't retain any information. In one ear and out the other.
I had the standard ones Brandon uses, but I wasn't allowed to touch my brand new bb gun until I could recite every last one off the top of my head, forwards, backwards and sideways.
Let's face it. Some people are too stupid and careless to own guns.
Don't forget the number 1 rule : have fun
common sense really, never really been around guns but even I know that much
Finding out that Brandon is only 28 blows my mind. This man made me feel like a child for years, turns out I’m older 😂😂
If he was in his 30s hed have remembered he couldve made the wires leading up to the homemade shinzo abe blaster 3000 as long as he wanted
Truth. I know I was older than Brandon, but I didnt know that I am old enough to have fathered him until today.
Same, by a few years too lol
I thought he was in his forties (not joking)
@@PepperLewisAndCo Same, we can both call him "son" legit 😂
I personally think that you do your job very well, your videos are entertaining but more importantly they are informative. Your choice to show the incident with Pedro and your obvious sincerity when discussing it should allow you to sleep well knowing that you probably saved a few lives.
Some of the hardest videos to watch to bring me peace.
Well said Brandon, he's not the first young man to lose his life doing something stupid. I tried to count mine, but I kept losing count. I got lucky. We all have those memories of doing stupid stuff. R.I.P Pedro.
I really should not be here, though not so many from getting lucky after doing something less than bright. Many many close calls. Also I am astounded I do not have, and never did contract anything from the females out there in my past. When it comes to that I was less than bright far too often. Sad about Pedro, man born in 95.. I feel so old now. My youngest kid was born that year... a good outcome of a none too brilliant choice.
Pedro just breaks my heart man. Thank you for treating him like a person who made a terrible mistake, and not a punchline.
I doubt it was a mistake.
A powerful cartridge vs a book. I dont think it takes much to consider what would happen. He’s very much an idiot and it’s tragic what happened. Now his girlfriend has to live with the repercussions and his son without a father.
Such a sad story and I pray for his family and him. But you cannot blame some of us for being frustrated for how stupid of an idea it was/still is.
@@fireemblemistrash75 His speech about dying beforehand didn't help either.
but he is a punchline.
lol
No he is a punchline. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
this darwin awards got HEAVY bro!
The ending was super heavy. Well done, well done indeed.
I feel bad for Pedro, but even worse for his gf. I can't help but think he was more "ready to die" than she knew.
Not just Pedro and the Gf, she was supposedly pregnant with hit kid, it’s just tragic all around, imagine if he didn’t do that stunt and turned out as a good gun tuber
The fact that Pedro even mentioned simply shooting at the book before he tried the stunt. He actually thought of it!
Then didn’t do it
I love that the editor gets to have a laugh at 0:37
4:26 the "I'm Okay" just fucking killed me XD
He sounds like someone who has just woken up from a long nap and has fallen over
Perfectly timed after a terrible day, much love Brandon. Thanks for all the laughs you bring in this messed up timeline.
Hope tomorrow is a better day for you pal
Hope your day improves
@@joshuakay6947I think he’s referring to what happened in Maine
Honestly who hasn’t seen starship troopers, so many good actors including the same guy who plays “father Gabriel” in the walking dead
You got me with the star wars clip😂💀
the cut at 7:55 fucking KILLED me
14:00 I kinda have tiny little suspicion he planned it like that... just by saying he is ready to die. To go to heaven.
didn't expect this to make me lol quite so much, given how deadly stuff can be.. :)
That Gaige Grosskreutz shade was warranted but nasty. He was barely related to the original topic and still got clowned. Love your work man.
That talk Pedro did about how he was "ready" to unalive..... makes me think Pedro was in a much darker place and he knew full well how things were going to end that day.
That definitely crossed my mind too
This right here, he very well knew from what he was saying. Also if he was Catholic he knows suicide is a one way ticket to hell so he maybe was trying to blur the lines so he had a better case.
Everything he said was 'im noping out'
I'll never forget my first and only ND back when I was about 16. It was my first gun, a .380 Cobra. I dropped the magazine, cycled the action to eject anything in the chamber (so I thought) and pointed it at my bed and pulled the trigger. The round went straight through my mattress, bedspring and the floor and kept going all the way into the ground underneath my house. I was terrified and humiliated. You can never be too careful, guys.
Brandon, you are killing me. My eyes were watering with the knife to gut guy and your comments.
“I play the PKM” is the most quotable line from the Wedding Singer indeed. 🤣🤣🤣
14:15 As one certain Scottish UA-camr said. "In the business. We call this foreshadowing."
Gotta love Brandon’s straight care and commitment to gun safety. You can tell he genuinely means every warning he says and isn’t just doing it as an obligation.
this guy is literally the perfect gun youtuber for me
So Somber thanks Brandon for teaching us about safety
2:50 "this guy was about to find out what it to get your back blown out" just glorious
I felt terrible for Pedro's girlfriend after hearing that story. If you watch some of the earlier videos, she did NOT want to do this, and he badgered her and badgered her. He also claimed to have tested it on another encyclopedia and knew it wouldn't go through, turns out that encyclopedia had been from a completely different set that was substantially more dense.
That was my main concern when I first read the story. That girl must have felt horrible.
I've done a lot of stupid crap in my life, but never ever tried to convince anyone to do anything that could harm someone else.
I’m watching Pedros video and my voice in my head is shouting “get your finger off that trigger”
I have to agree. Pedro is unfortunately gone and she has to live with the fact that she pulled the trigger. Such a heartbreaking story all around.
Like Trump said, they're not sending us their best. Crazy Pedro turned out to be Stupid Pedro. His girlfriend must have given birth to a Special Ed baby by now.
& he had to be wearing a security tagged body armor 😂 like we don’t have it bad enough already 😆
I freaking love your videos brother.
What did we learn today?
That the cameraman is indeed, not invincible
(10:00)
6:16 built different? More like assembled wrong 💀
improperly packaged
constructed in an unorthodox manner
One story, and. No rain in the forecast 😂
Saving this vid for the kiddos if I ever get around to having some. Been raised with guns, but also lots and lots of safety training.
That last rule "Never point the gun at anything you are not willing to destroy" is so much better than "Dont point the gun in an unsafe direction" etc. I tell newcomers to "Always point the gun at something you are willing to shoot" - it is easier to process when you are still unsure. Great clips!
It's why I like phrasing that rule in passive voice. "Never let the gun point at anything you're not willing to destroy."
Not to try to blame the gun for any mishaps...(oh, sure, blame the gun, not the shooter)
...but to make it clear that, even when you're not actively pointing the gun at something, _it is still pointing somewhere._ Never let that somewhere be something you don't want it to be.
7:50 - BRO, you can't just drop that kind of thing out of the blue. I almost coughed up a lung laughing. What if I was eating? YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME!
BRO I WAS EATING AND I CHOKED I CAME TO SEE IF ANYONE CAUGHT THAT
I love all this content
5th rule of gun safety - Don't give your gun to someone to point at you.
