There are some living Darwin award candidates.

You don't have to die, you just have to eliminate yourself from the gene poo.

When you live isn't it considered an 'honorable mention'?

No, I'm on my phone so I cant look it up but I think there has been a living one.

Going to call fake on that one.
Something very odd going on in the slowmo. That should have blew his head apart.

That's what I was thinking, I'm no gun expert by any stretch, but a few inches away from the business end of a shotgun...Seems unlikely that it would just knock a chunk out of his hat.

I think what struck me was how the sound of the last shot just kind of cut off instead of echoing like the others.  From there you can just look and see other inconsistencies.

Folks, play nice.

It was pointed right at his forehead when it appeared to fire, then the angle changed. Watch the bottom of the gun when it fires too.

Ah, you are correct with the sound. I didn't catch that when I first watched it. Also noticed what slash noted on my second/third watch, there was a comment on that website, something about a compressed air tube and that shotgun guy was concealing it, however I didn't see anything like that when I watched it. Perhaps someone else will.
