Big Guns

[Mike Stafford]

The same friend that was researching locks and found the LockPickingLawyer also sent me links to one of the craziest men on the planet.

This crazy dude fires big guns. Just about anything he can put up to his shoulder he will shoot. See the examples below:

The 4 Bore rifle....

The Punt gun...

The Suppressed 500 magnum revolver...

That is Scott DeShields channel Kentucky Ballistics. He is a former Kentucky State Trooper. He is lucky to be alive. If you notice he wears shirts that say “put a thumb in it”, because his thumb literally saved his life after his 50 BMG exploded on him and lacerated his jugular. He has the video on his channel and the aftermath. He has some great videos and did a couple with Matt Carriker from Demolition Ranch.

Hi Jim!! I was thinking it was his dad or father in law that stuck their thumb in the hole or helped him hold his in it. Unbelievable that he survived that explosion.

 

[Jim Niemi]

For sure. It is incredible. And how is Mr. Shively doing. Long time no see.

I''ve seen that before. Scary just to watch. There is a fellow in Poland who builds some monster sized guns. His vids are also scary.

I've seen quite a few of Scott's videos, but I never did understand the allure of owning guns that are painful to shoot.

All guns are painful for me to shoot... every gun I've ever fired made my ears ring... now they ring permanently.

That's why these days nearly everybody wears hearing protection when shooting. And if you're shooting with my club or in one of my classes, it's mandatory.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!?

I've actually kind of got to liking subsonic air guns for this reason, plus the cost of delivery per operation is significantly lower. Plink Plink.

 

[Jim Niemi]

Eyes and ears are a requirement for sure. I love my big bores but that 10ga I bought just hurts. Shot it 3 times and never again.

 

[Dave Hawksford]

I like big guns but my right shoulder will remind me it don't like them.

I shot most of my shooting when I was a lot younger and dumber... but I also spend 11 years with a major airlines where hearing protection was mandatory and I never went out on the ramp without my ear muffs....even with them, those jet engines are loud and especially when you wind up walking the fusilage with the number 3 engine running.

I went to Dallas once to a training class and a group of us went to a night club where a local band was playing... sitting at the far side of the room, the boom box was so loud it actually hurt my chest... I left most of the group there and drove to another club that had a nice quiet jazz combo.
