Handy safety tip:

If any action you're about to perform causes you to wonder "Is this going to blow my fingers off or send hot gas and shrapnel into my face?" you should probably stop right there.

I'm just sayin'...

I like at the end how he's preparing to look DOWN THE BARREL.

WV Reclucti. After seeing Joe shoot his chrome AK at the range, everyone was reclucti to shoot with him again.

Jeez - none of my ammo boxes ever have more than one caliber in them. I won't even mix different brands of the same caliber ammo in a magazine.

And should anyone ever ask me why...

So many clues...the hip-hugger muffin-top look of the camo pants, the sleeveless T, the macho sort-of/maybe is body armor vest, the really gnarly tatts, and the everyman should have a pimped AK. Why would they be doing anything BUT act stupid and broadcast their stupid by vidding it and YouTube upload.

Maybe they should be designated honorary jihadis and given their own suicide underwear.

I think he was on his way home from the class you mentioned in your previous post and just couldn't quite let go of that newly acquired "Big Boy" persona.

I'm not going to come down too hard on the guy for the chrome; I think that it would actually look fairly decent with chromed 20rd mags and set of red wood furniture.

Now, the muffin top and studded belt were solid tip-offs that something incredibly stupid was about to happen.

Back in the 'teens or twenties, the fun and bored government employees at Springfield tried firing a standard fmj .45 automatic out of an m1903.

It actually worked, the .45 bullet swaged down to .308.

And it's possible to fire .308 out of an '06 as well, IF the extractor holds it back or the case is deformed slightly to keep it back against the bolt face.

I'm told Navy shooters found this out when they started getting funny looking fired cases from their "bushed" m1s.

Supposedly the 7.62 NATO was designed in such a way as the body would be thicker in diameter than the '06 at the 7.62's shoulder, so this trick would work. I can't believe that, though.

I have done it, but it is NOT recommended.

My brother and I once shared a bay while shooting my Glock 19 and his Glock 23. I managed to mix a 9mm round into a mag of 40 cal, chamber, and fire the damn thing. The brass bulged to fit the chamber, and was a pain to extract, but otherwise, no harm. Yes, it was an accident.

"Look at me ladies! Seen my Youtube Video where I prove to the World my Genetic Heritage needs to be eliminated from the Human Race?" Dumb, just Frackin' Dumb.

Bubblehead Les--

I'm pretty sure this guy isn't going to reproduce anyway...

rick: I agree that no sensible woman would allow this guy access to her "secret garden", but there are plenty of dumb wimminz out there.

My personal favorite is when he utters the part about how the AK Can Do Anything.

Yes. It can do anything, such as blow your fingers off or send hot gas and shrapnel into your face.
