This squeaker means business

[mensa180]

I was waiting for him to catch a finger in a slide too.  Dad was in ROTC back in the 60s, said kids got M1 thumb all the time .

I am an AAFC (Australian Air Force Cadet) and I spotted so many firearms safety hazards I could not believe my eyes. For one of my fellow squeakers he seems well educated in firearms but he was swinging them around like an idiot and put a magazine in a weapon INSIDE without the intention of killing something, that is stupidity.

He cannot handle the weapon properly, he pointed what looked like a loaded assault rifle at the camera man, he miss pronounced half of the names and on more than 5 occasions he pointed a LOADED weapon at the head of his camera man  (mostly his pistols when he readies them and swings them to the left pointing right above the lens at head height).

And on top of all that his voice was annoying and he went out of his way to look like GI JOE gone sweetheartbag.

I'd love to see some pics of those Mom!

I'll start taking pictures as he makes them & send them to you by PM.
Right now he's only got one, and it's falling apart. =)

He makes them, plays with them until they fall apart, then makes new ones =)  (when he paints them silver, he gets to take them outside to 'play' army with the neighbor boys).

I probably should have been taking pictures all along!

Watch the video again.
- I don't recall seeing a single assault rifle there. A battle rifle or two maybe (M1 & SKS) but no assault rifles.
- There was no camera man, the camera did shake, but I attributed that to the floor vibrating from the fat kid moving around.
- The only thing he sorta mis-pronounced was the Mosin-Nagant.
- At no time did he have a loaded gun in his hand, much less point it at someone.
- Regarding putting a "magazine in a weapon INSIDE without the intention of killing something, that is stupidity" ... both my pistols have fully loaded magazines in them, and one in the chamber. It's somewhat stupid to expect Mr. Bad Guy to wait while I retrieve my magazine, insert it and rack the slide.

You might want to go back to whomever is training the AAFC regarding firearms and let them know you need to be retrained.

Well, Australia is a country that goes as far as to censor the internet... what would you expect



Just a curious question... I have very little experience with semiauto firearms (as much as a few dozen rounds through a semi auto 12 ga.), and none with semi auto pistols. I noticed that he released the magazine to release the slide every time after he racked (?) it. I was under the impression that it's just the follower of the magazine that engages the slide stop (?) after there's no more ammunition in the pistol. Can't you just overpower the follower and release the slide with the magazine still in the pistol, or does this put unnecessary wear on the magazine/slide stop? Or does it just take too much force for the kid to have been able to have done that? He seems to have trouble with it in the first place...

Makes it easy for mr bad guy to use you're own weapon on you too, iirc that and kids dying from playing with guns in the USA are significant statistically. But if you live in constant fear I spose you need to take that chance huh

Either the kid needs to oil his slides or he needs to work out.  I can operate the slide on my semi-auto .22 with my pinky.  Plus, what youngster needs a weapon with a 30 round clip anyway.  He needs to be taught 1 shot 1 kill before letting him spray and pray.

[mensa180]

The slide is the easy part, what gets me is putting the .45 rounds in the magazine again and again, it hurts my fingers .  Is there some magic technique I am missing?

Did you not see the video! No assault rifle-true. It was a clone of one. The kid said that. There was a camera man because he spoke at the very end of the tape. And I'm surprized he didn't shot his face off. I'd slap my kid in the head if he fumbled around with weapons like that on the internet. Or anywhere for that matter.

Well lets see, In a situation of home defence that is perfectly true. BUT when waving them around inside, with someone there no less for the purpose of show it seems rather stupid. He loaded one of his pistols and "cked" the weapon, when he removed the magazine you could clearly see it was loaded ( he exposed the magazine to the camera). While it was loaded he waved it to the left pointing it at the cameraman before he removed the magazine.

You are obviously not a military man or if you were you were a poorly trained one, for you are forgetting the number one rule for ALL firearms. Always treat a weapon as if its loaded. He certainly didn't and if you had no problems with his actions it shows that you don't either.

And any weapon loaded or not is not to be pointed any where NEAR someone unless you intend to kill them, he broke that rule on no less than three occasions.

That kid in the video is a safety hazard, he is the one who needs to be retrained. I am certain that the guys at RAAF Base Edinburough taught me the correct procedure for the simple fact that they handle firearms of military standard every day for a living.

Another rule I missed, when not in use weapons must be safely stored in a gunsafe or somewhere secure (exceptions for home defence might include on a shelf in a box etc etc) and even if not loaded SAFETY ON.
