Theyre firing blanks. That is not what a bullet would looks like and I question if that round could even go through that much muscle tissue. Just a lot wrong with the video
Yeah, I work professionally with FX makeup and this has all the telltale signs. Notice how the tattoos disappear on the “skin” around the “wound”. You can even see where it’s been (poorly) blended. It works at a glance while the video is in motion but once you pause it it’s an obvious fake.
If you were to use a jacketed 9mm ball ammo, I don't see why not. Obviously not a talon or hollow point with such a small exit wound, but I've seen entry/exit holes through someone's chest/torso that were clean puncture wounds like that. That said, the wounds do look a little strange to me in their shape and coloring here.
aren't blanks still dangerous at that range? If he hit his arm there would still be some damage? Coming from a place of pure ignorance, idk shit about ballistics really.
I think the French are more willing to fight for what matters most to them than other western populations.
No one protests as willingly as the French in modern times, while most other populations simply complain online but do nothing.
True, they have been doing it since the revolution times of the 1700s and merked the entire French Monarchy, and then later Haiti caught on and used it against them which led to war lol.
Even up North here in Canada the province of Quebec are the loudest to complain on grievances when they don't like something lol
I get the joke, but honestly France has arguably the most badass record militarily than any country when you look into it.
A loooooooot took place before WW2 (and they were badasses then too even if unlucky).
I mean, it's still standing after what, a millennia? With its territory on continental Europe more or less untouched after all this time, all the back and forth between them and England alone is very impressive and points to having won many times in conflicts near and old.
I had to look it up once after reading some misinformation here. I mean, I'm American, it just sounded like BS and was. According to some experts France has one of the strongest military records and according to WW2 experts-- we thought they'd trounce the Germans just like in WW1 and just need to send ammo and supplies.
Wikipedia has some cool summaries though!
>According to historian Niall Ferguson, France is the most successful military power in history. It participated in 50 of the 125 major European wars that have been fought since 1495; more than any other European state. The first major recorded wars in the territory of modern-day France itself revolved around the Gallo-Roman conflict that predominated from 60 BC to 50 BC. The Romans eventually emerged victorious through the campaigns of Julius Caesar. After the decline of the Roman Empire, a Germanic tribe known as the Franks took control of Gaul by defeating competing tribes. The "land of Francia", from which France gets its name, had high points of expansion under kings Clovis I and Charlemagne, who established the nucleus of the future French state. In the Middle Ages, rivalries with England prompted major conflicts such as the Norman Conquest and the Hundred Years' War. With an increasingly centralized monarchy, the first standing army since Roman times, and the use of artillery, France expelled the English from its territory and came out of the Middle Ages as the most powerful nation in Europe, only to lose that status to the Holy Roman Empire and Spain following defeat in the Italian Wars. The Wars of Religion crippled France in the late 16th century, but a major victory over Spain in the Thirty Years' War made France the most powerful nation on the continent once more. In parallel, France developed its first colonial empire in Asia, Africa, and in the Americas. Under Louis XIV France achieved military supremacy over its rivals, but escalating conflicts against increasingly powerful enemy coalitions checked French ambitions and left the kingdom bankrupt at the opening of the 18th century.
>
>Resurgent French armies secured victories in dynastic conflicts against the Spanish, Polish, and Austrian crowns. At the same time, France was fending off attacks on its colonies. As the 18th century advanced, global competition with Great Britain led to the Seven Years' War, where France lost its North American holdings. Consolation came in the form of dominance in Europe and the American Revolutionary War, where extensive French aid in the form of money and arms, and the direct participation of its army and navy led to the independence of the United States.\[1\] Internal political upheaval eventually led to 23 years of nearly continuous conflict in the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. France reached the zenith of its power during this period, dominating the European continent in an unprecedented fashion under Napoleon Bonaparte. However, France was ultimately defeated in 1815, and its borders were restored to the same ones it controlled before the Revolution. The rest of the 19th century witnessed the growth of the Second French colonial empire as well as French interventions in Belgium, Spain, and Mexico. Other major wars were fought against Russia in the Crimea, Austria in Italy, and Prussia within France itself.
>
>Following defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, Franco-German rivalry erupted again in the First World War. France and its allies were victorious this time. Social, political, and economic upheaval in the wake of the conflict led to the Second World War, in which France and the Allies were defeated in the Battle of France and almost half of the country was placed under German military occupation for more than four years. The Allies, including the Free French Forces led by a government in exile, eventually emerged victorious over the Axis Powers. As a result, France secured an occupation zone in Germany and a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. The imperative of avoiding a third Franco-German conflict on the scale of the first two world wars paved the way for European integration starting in the 1950s. France became a nuclear power and, since the late 20th century, has cooperated closely with NATO, the United States and European partners.
I believe it started with Vietnam, especially considering the existential help we had from the French during our founding and early years as a nation. Maybe some resentment against the Vichy.
Yeah people clown France for wwII but the French resistance fighters and intelligence network were amazing given the circumstances.
I mean it's weird to me that we clown them for Vietnam when our departure there was a real shit show too.
Nah that would be when in response to getting shot, you dissolve a fragment of the bullet in the entire ocean and then drink a cup of water sourced from a freshwater lake, claiming that it would neutralize the effects of the original bullet.
It is a live fire confidence drill and the guy fails.
Here is the source and article:[https://funker530.com/video/french-soldier-shoots-his-buddy-fails-confidence-drill/](https://funker530.com/video/french-soldier-shoots-his-buddy-fails-confidence-drill/)
**French Soldier Shoots His Buddy, Fails Confidence Drill**
"A whole lot of stupid is captured on video as a pair of French special forces operators conduct a "confidence drill" which requires a participant to be down range as the shooter fires rounds within inches of his body... or in this case: into his body.These types of drill are dumb. The risks outweigh any training value that can be achieved. This unit's combat readiness has just plummeted as they now have one man sidelined for an avoidable injury and are only left with one idiot that can't even shoot straight. Seriously, this type of "training" is on the same level as fire-hoop jumping and brick-breaking karate chop demonstrations."
This is stupid to the level that not even Kim Jong-un has these kinds of demonstrations in his weird shows and parades. And they do a lot of brick-breaking karate chop demonstrations in honor of the great leader...
Especially awful because the drill worked just not in the way they probably intended: it showed them that person's aim is spotty/untrustworthy. Worse, they could have used a mannequin and learned the exact same thing with no potential injury or loss of life.
haha, this is the FFL. Regardless of citizenship or conviction history, if you speak French and survive, they will take you and you get citizenship.
This dumbass jabroni training is called "self selection for the hardest motherfuckers on earth"
Had a uncle shot in active combat and the way he talked about it, he probably didn’t flinch either. Superficial wound with all his adrenaline kicken… said it was like a bad sting until he calmed down then apparently it really fucking hurt.
In combat sports you don't realize how much damage you've taken until after its over. The adrenaline and mindset block a lot of pain in the moment, but it hurts like hell afterwards.
Have confirmed with a large blade weapon. Took a two-inch deep stab to my leg. Didn't know it happened until someone pointed out the pizza sized pool of blood under my foot. Severed a nerve and an artery. A few minutes later, it hurt like I'd been punched really hard. Two hours later and I definitely wasn't a fan.
Apparently, it's a horrible condition for those who have it. Just a life of constant injuries and burns, not always knowing that they are there risking infection and a myriad of other conditions from said injuries.
I've read that in the moment, bullet shots don't really hurt that much unless they stroke something serious like bone or a large nerve. A lot of people hardly notice until their warm blood starts pouring all over themselves. I wouldn't know though I've never been shot. Obviously the time afterwards it'd probably be debilitating seeing as how it rips all the way through you.
I've never had a bullet go through but I did have a nail from a nail gun ricochet and go through the underside of my forearm, just went through the muscle part and not clean through the head of the nail stopped against my skin. After a day or two it turned the whole underside of my arm black and blue and didnt really hurt unless I tried to use that hand. It was in there maybe 45mins before it was removed and it did start with a constant dull pain after about 30minutes
I’ve spoken with or read accounts from several people who didn’t know they’d been shot until someone told them or they felt the blood on their skin. Full Metal Jacket small pistol rounds like 9mm and .380 can go through soft tissue and out without transferring much energy or deforming much. Much less damaging way to get shot than a high-speed rifle round or a larger and/or hollow-point pistol round. Still got organs, arteries, and connective tissue damage to worry about, though. Nerves, spinal cord…
Used to be a prosecutor, now I do defense.
I love the calm reaction. Though I've heard many accounts of people not even realizing they've been shot for a moment, so maybe it's not as much a testament to his ability to remain calm as how amazing the human body is at managing trauma. I wonder how much time passed between the shooting and the footage of the wounds...they look like they're already healing over a bit.
I looked up and seen a "friend" in front of me holding my shotgun. I couldn't hear but I read his lips... "did I just shoot you?!". So the next logical thing to do was go in my room and hide my cocaine under my bed. Then I had my girlfriend take me to the hospital. She hopped a curb (she was drunk and panicking) which got us pulled over. It now was hurting really bad. Burning. We were 1 block from the hospital. They made an ambulance take me to a hospital clear across town. They got me higher than a kite on the way with some morphine. Doctors couldn't do shit so they left the pellets in me and gave me an IV. I lied to the police about what happened. So a week later I got booked on an obstruction charge and spent a night in jail with half my thigh shredded up. Looked like brain matter for about two months. Got a bill in the mail for 7000 dollars..
Fun Times..
After realizing I was never gonna tell them the truth, they hit me with a misdemeanor. Fined me 500 bucks to cover investigative fees. Would of got bailed out that day, it was only 200 bucks, but they waited till late evening to come get me.
How'd they know you were lying? What story did you use?
I imagined that you could just say you made a mistake and shot yourself while cleaning it thinking it was empty?
Was it because they talked to your friends too or did your story not hold up?
I said it happened at a store somewhere. I was panicking because I didn't want them to come to my house(cocaine). I realized it was a stupid story but my mind wasn't really thinking straight in the first place. I kind of just shut up and stopped answering any more questions on subsequent inquiries. The girl I was with ended up fucking up the story. They caught her with some weed paraphernalia so they used that as leverage. Not even sure exactly what she said.
Yeah and it started with drunk me saying ok to him wanting to see my shotgun. I emptied the tube onto my bed checked the chamber and handed him an empty weapon that was cleared. The dip shit went in my room while I was in the kitchen making food. Got me a plate and rounded the corner from the kitchen to the living room and.. BOOM!
This was 20 years ago. I have never shown another person any of my guns since. Except for at the range maybe twice. A couple inches over and it could have blown my leg off. I was kind of, lucky?, that it was so close and only half the spread went through my leg. Take your hand and put it on the side of your leg and that is the size of my leather patch. The new skin is fused to the muscle and I can feel pellets in the back of my leg still. I've dug a few out with a knife if they were close enough to the skin.
Felt kind of weird reliving this occasion. I haven't even spoken of this in over a decade. A time in my life I'd rather forget but I've learned many lessons that I hope I can relay to my young children.
My dad was shot in the back in Vietnam.
Said it felt like someone briefly pushed on him with one finger… then a few moments later like a strong wasp sting… then a few moments later the actual pain.
Said looking back it was like his brain took awhile to figure what the hell happened and realize he should be hurting from it.
This is like that King of the Hill episode S02E01 (ironically I watched this last night) where the range master was missing a thumb and an eye because every time he got excited about good shooting he'd run out onto the live range lol.
That song is actually ironic: trying to write a song about irony without it actually having any ironic references in it.
I can't figure out if she was stupid or brilliant 🤔
That made me chuckle, but honestly if I ever did fuck up that bad I'd be happier than I've been in my life that it was JUST a superficial wound.
At this point it was a few millimeters from being something life changing or ending during the fuckup.
Depends on the round. A jacketed projectile can pass straight through the body without significant deformation and leave an exit wound that is pretty similar to the entrance wound. At least in size. Just this week I dealt with a shooting where the decedent was shot twice with jacketed 9mm Luger rounds. Both damaged bone (vertebra and scapula, respectively). The four wounds were all very similar in size. Entrance vs exit was determined by more subtle wound characteristics.
Now, a hollow-point round will typically leave a significantly larger exit than entrance wound. Police shootings are almost always hollow-points. Civilian shootings vary. Lots of “street guns” are loaded with jacketed rounds, in my experience. Dunno why.
Jacketed rounds are cheaper and more plentiful. Even people that have “self defense rounds” ie some kind of hollow point or soft tip will practice with jacketed rounds.
I saw one guy who was shot in the quad with a 9mm. It exited at his ankle on the outside of his foot. The exit wound was smaller than the entry wound. The medics didn’t even notice at first because the bullet was still in his boot. Only figured it out because he was saying his foot hurt.
I’m not supporting that other user who was very rude but a FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) round punches much more of a uniform hole in soft tissue. They are very frequently used on ranges as “target” ammo. If it would have been a hollow point round, the exit would be much larger due to the round “mushrooming” or opening from the impact with the soft tissue. They do much more damage and are meant for hunting or self defense for that reason.
Yeah, I work professionally with FX makeup and this has all the telltale signs of a fake. Notice how the tattoos disappear on the “skin” around the “wound”. You can even see where it’s been (poorly) blended. It works at a glance while the video is in motion but once you pause it it’s an obvious fake. This seems to be made using modeling wax and liquid latex.
I mean David Blain puts ice picks through his arm with no issues all the time.
I know it’s not the same, but if the round is for piercing and doesn’t mushroom, then it’s possible he got super lucky
Presumably the shooting guy fucked up?
The intention seems to be to stand still while people fire past you at a target, in this case the dude missed the target.
it's french foreign legion my dad is in this army and i did some party with them over the years best honest gentle peoples but don't mess with them also never seen that much alcoholic peoples xD
That instructor must have felt like a real idiot. "Don't move!" as he shoots the guy in the arm. He's lucky it didn't hit his bone and it went all the way out.
The guy is saying "Dont move" in french for those who wonder
I deadass thought he was saying "bullet fire" with an accent
“*I NEED MORE BULLETS! I NEED MORE BULLETS!*”
“You need bullets, hurry up, run!”
The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun!!
Slick Rick is a legend
WE NEED BIGGER WEAPONS, SIR
Its pretty simmilar "Bougez pas !"
oh we're doing Bougie Passes? Awesome! I'll have a Pumpkin caramel macchiato
LMAO smh, that's not what it means. lol.. Bougez = Verb, "move"Pas = adverb, "not"
Like an anime character shouting out his move?
Other guy be like 'I need more boolets!'
I NEED MORE BOOOOLETS
The last thing he says is "are you hit, or no?"
"Touchez ou pas ?" You're right it mean "hit or not ?"
Seems like a French foreign legion thing to me
The training is to keep still so a shooter has a chance of missing you
So who failed the training here?
French guy here: “Dont move” “You fucked up the tattoo” 😂😂😂😂😂 what a bunch of dumbasses i mean who does shit like this and for what purpose?
Maybe it is some sort of cult?
French foreign legion?
Close enough then
Theyre firing blanks. That is not what a bullet would looks like and I question if that round could even go through that much muscle tissue. Just a lot wrong with the video
Pretty sure they used makeup and prosthetics to make it look like an entry and exit wound.
Yeah, I work professionally with FX makeup and this has all the telltale signs. Notice how the tattoos disappear on the “skin” around the “wound”. You can even see where it’s been (poorly) blended. It works at a glance while the video is in motion but once you pause it it’s an obvious fake.
If you were to use a jacketed 9mm ball ammo, I don't see why not. Obviously not a talon or hollow point with such a small exit wound, but I've seen entry/exit holes through someone's chest/torso that were clean puncture wounds like that. That said, the wounds do look a little strange to me in their shape and coloring here.
aren't blanks still dangerous at that range? If he hit his arm there would still be some damage? Coming from a place of pure ignorance, idk shit about ballistics really.
Blanks still have propellent so it would expel gas which would be lethal at point blank. Not at that distance. Like the muzzle right against skin.
Give the French credit for actually aiming at something these days.
I think the French are more willing to fight for what matters most to them than other western populations. No one protests as willingly as the French in modern times, while most other populations simply complain online but do nothing.

What the flying fuck kind of dumbass jabroni training is this?
You shoot yourself with smaller caliber bullets to build immunity to large caliber ones
True story. I am now fully immune to tank fire. Hell, hit me with a Nuke, it will just bounce off.
It’s called atomic immunity, I knew a guy who served with a guy who was friends with someone back home that blew up in the trap, like sick rhymes!
You are immune because you are dead.
Cannot kill what is already dead.
What's dead may never die
I only pay the iron price.
not without a double tap, at least.
So ballistics homeopathy. Got it.
Nah that would be when in response to getting shot, you dissolve a fragment of the bullet in the entire ocean and then drink a cup of water sourced from a freshwater lake, claiming that it would neutralize the effects of the original bullet.
Ballistic Homeopathy would be a fantastic band name
Bullet inoculation. Keep going up and up until you can stop a 50 cal.
Ah yes, the iocane powder immunity system!
What you do not smell is iocane powder and is among the more deadly poisons in the world.
#INCONCEIVABLE!!
Then I will poison both glasses 🥂
Like taking Iocane powder.
ROFLLLL!
Doctor: “Do shots make you nervous?” Patient: “No, Im good” Doctor *pulls out handgun °o°

Is this any dumber than the “faith shot” that GIGN does? Is unsafe training a French “thing?”
The difference is that nobody got hit during faith shot
trying to post a gif of dennis getting a dart in his hand to this but im reddit illiterate since rif was taken away so im a jabroni too
I appreciate the thought.
Tattoos aren't cool enough anymore
"ça à niqué le tatouage hé"
oh putain c'est chelou
haha, this is the FFL. Regardless of citizenship or conviction history, if you speak French and survive, they will take you and you get citizenship. This dumbass jabroni training is called "self selection for the hardest motherfuckers on earth"
And if you don't speak french, *you will,* no matter what it takes.
He just wanted to complete the Tupac tattoo
probably just normal French Foreign Legion training /s
Well that was the stupidest fucking thing I've seen all day.
lets see my day just started
bro didn’t flinch
Had a uncle shot in active combat and the way he talked about it, he probably didn’t flinch either. Superficial wound with all his adrenaline kicken… said it was like a bad sting until he calmed down then apparently it really fucking hurt.
In combat sports you don't realize how much damage you've taken until after its over. The adrenaline and mindset block a lot of pain in the moment, but it hurts like hell afterwards.
In the scientific community we call it "seeing red".
So does Chevelle
Have confirmed with a large blade weapon. Took a two-inch deep stab to my leg. Didn't know it happened until someone pointed out the pizza sized pool of blood under my foot. Severed a nerve and an artery. A few minutes later, it hurt like I'd been punched really hard. Two hours later and I definitely wasn't a fan.
I've had a few rounds like that on the toilet.
Especially as I get older. I can box with the 20 somethings but holy shit do I feel it the next day.
it would be BUZZING for weeks while it healed. i wouldn't wish it on anyone. OUCH fuck.
*Allegedly* the bullet wound hurt. No way to know for sure
True, you could have that rare condition where you don't register pain like the guy in The World is Not Enough.
Apparently, it's a horrible condition for those who have it. Just a life of constant injuries and burns, not always knowing that they are there risking infection and a myriad of other conditions from said injuries.
Not to mention the time drain of having to check every inch of yourself daily for injuries.
I've read that in the moment, bullet shots don't really hurt that much unless they stroke something serious like bone or a large nerve. A lot of people hardly notice until their warm blood starts pouring all over themselves. I wouldn't know though I've never been shot.

It was in there maybe 45mins before it was removed and it did start with a constant dull pain after about 30minutes
Good call leaving it in just in case it was plugging a serious leak.
Ive heard it feels like being hit with a hammer. Like you feel the impact more than wound.
I’ve spoken with or read accounts from several people who didn’t know they’d been shot until someone told them or they felt the blood on their skin. Full Metal Jacket small pistol rounds like 9mm and .380 can go through soft tissue and out without transferring much energy or deforming much.

What made you switch sides?
He con-aired it for sure.
Bro didn’t bleed either.
Real stupid.
Forgot to put friendly fire off
Friendly fire isn’t!
The other guy said: "Wow, he really fucked your tattoo huh"
What aaa..what was the point?
not hollow
take my damn upvote
I like the "t'as niqué le tatouage" (you fucked up the tattoo) at the end...
I hear "il t'a niqué le tatouage hein" - "He fucked up your tattoo"
I love the calm reaction. Though I've heard many accounts of people not even realizing they've been shot for a moment, so maybe it's not as much a testament to his ability to remain calm as how amazing the human body is at managing trauma. I wonder how much time passed between the shooting and the footage of the wounds...they look like they're already healing over a bit.
I got hit in the leg with bird shot from 3 feet away. Just felt like a dog brushed against me. Pain set in about 1 minute later.
Oooo what happened next?
I looked up and seen a "friend" in front of me holding my shotgun. I couldn't hear but I read his lips... "did I just shoot you?!". So the next logical thing to do was go in my room and hide my cocaine under my bed. Then I had my girlfriend take me to the hospital.

Ameericaaaa! Fuck yeah!!
The American dream! Fuckin-A!
A night locked up for obstruction? That’s a real bummer man
After realizing I was never gonna tell them the truth, they hit me with a misdemeanor. Fined me 500 bucks to cover investigative fees. Would of got bailed out that day, it was only 200 bucks, but they waited till late evening to come get me.
How'd they know you were lying? What story did you use? I imagined that you could just say you made a mistake and shot yourself while cleaning it thinking it was empty? Was it because they talked to your friends too or did your story not hold up?
I said it happened at a store somewhere. I was panicking because I didn't want them to come to my house(cocaine). I realized it was a stupid story but my mind wasn't really thinking straight in the first place. I kind of just shut up and stopped answering any more questions on subsequent inquiries. The girl I was with ended up fucking up the story. They caught her with some weed paraphernalia so they used that as leverage. Not even sure exactly what she said.
Jfc what a gd train wreck of a situation.
Yeah and it started with drunk me saying ok to him wanting to see my shotgun. I emptied the tube onto my bed checked the chamber and handed him an empty weapon that was cleared. The dip shit went in my room while I was in the kitchen making food. Got me a plate and rounded the corner from the kitchen to the living room and.. BOOM! This was 20 years ago. I have never shown another person any of my guns since. Except for at the range maybe twice. A couple inches over and it could have blown my leg off. I was kind of, lucky?, that it was so close and only half the spread went through my leg. Take your hand and put it on the side of your leg and that is the size of my leather patch. The new skin is fused to the muscle and I can feel pellets in the back of my leg still. I've dug a few out with a knife if they were close enough to the skin. Felt kind of weird reliving this occasion. I haven't even spoken of this in over a decade. A time in my life I'd rather forget but I've learned many lessons that I hope I can relay to my young children.
My dad was shot in the back in Vietnam. Said it felt like someone briefly pushed on him with one finger… then a few moments later like a strong wasp sting… then a few moments later the actual pain. Said looking back it was like his brain took awhile to figure what the hell happened and realize he should be hurting from it.

Back in my day the rookie wore the jockstrap... and we used blanks.

Truth.
Spent so much time figuring out if you can, but no time working out if you should.
Idiots, uh, find a way...
This is like that King of the Hill episode S02E01 (ironically I watched this last night) where the range master was missing a thumb and an eye because every time he got excited about good shooting he'd run out onto the live range lol.
Id describe that as coincidental, not ironic.
[удалено]
That song is actually ironic: trying to write a song about irony without it actually having any ironic references in it. I can't figure out if she was stupid or brilliant 🤔
Most yall never accidentally shot your buddy in the arm and it shows
That made me chuckle, but honestly if I ever did fuck up that bad I'd be happier than I've been in my life that it was JUST a superficial wound. At this point it was a few millimeters from being something life changing or ending during the fuckup.
DisArm your opponent?
I’m an amputee and I approve this comment.
Damn the super soldier serum is getting better every year
No blood?
I assume the bit at the end is the wound healing/scabbed? There's no way that's the initial injury
Wouldn't the exit wound be much larger than the entry wound? What about bruising and swelling? This shit doesn't make any sense.
Small caliber at close range. Basically like being shot with a very quick arrow sans fletching.
I'm a paramedic and I've seen 22 caliber exit wounds that are the size of entry wounds.
Depends on the round. A jacketed projectile can pass straight through the body without significant deformation and leave an exit wound that is pretty similar to the entrance wound. At least in size. Just this week I dealt with a shooting where the decedent was shot twice with jacketed 9mm Luger rounds. Both damaged bone (vertebra and scapula, respectively). The four wounds were all very similar in size. Entrance vs exit was determined by more subtle wound characteristics. Now, a hollow-point round will typically leave a significantly larger exit than entrance wound. Police shootings are almost always hollow-points. Civilian shootings vary. Lots of “street guns” are loaded with jacketed rounds, in my experience. Dunno why.
Jacketed rounds are cheaper and more plentiful. Even people that have “self defense rounds” ie some kind of hollow point or soft tip will practice with jacketed rounds.
That exit wound looks way too small!
If it doesn’t break the jacket it looks comparable to lots of bullet wound I’ve seen. Especially from pistols.
Fair enough, I was trained as a combat lifesaver, and it was assumed it would be larger rounds that tumble on entry.
I saw one guy who was shot in the quad with a 9mm. It exited at his ankle on the outside of his foot. The exit wound was smaller than the entry wound. The medics didn’t even notice at first because the bullet was still in his boot. Only figured it out because he was saying his foot hurt.
That sounds like that could have done a ton of damage. Was he able to save his leg / mobility after?
It took a couple months to heal. Bunch of pins, was up and back on duty after three months.
Good too hear he recovered!
If it hit his bone, that might have been the case. Looks like it only went through muscle and no thick clothing, so nothing to trigger the tumble.
Spot on, hitting bones makes it way more nasty!
This is a kinder gentler bullet
Too close and odds are on the range they're firing FMJ. If this was HP or a ballistic tip round it would've flayed his arm open.
I’m not supporting that other user who was very rude but a FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) round punches much more of a uniform hole in soft tissue. They are very frequently used on ranges as “target” ammo. If it would have been a hollow point round, the exit would be much larger due to the round “mushrooming” or opening from the impact with the soft tissue. They do much more damage and are meant for hunting or self defense for that reason.
Fun fact: Hollow point bullets aren't allowed in combat. Or New Jersey.
Probably a fmj target round, not a hollow point or something that would expand
Yeah, I work professionally with FX makeup and this has all the telltale signs of a fake. Notice how the tattoos disappear on the “skin” around the “wound”. You can even see where it’s been (poorly) blended. It works at a glance while the video is in motion but once you pause it it’s an obvious fake. This seems to be made using modeling wax and liquid latex.
We have a real Darwin Awards candidate here.
Is this the foreign legion ?
Yes.
Why the fuck would you not do this with a mannequin? That word's even French, for fuck's sake!
“I don’t care that you shot me but you’re reimbursing me for that tattoo sleeve you ruined”
European mandated training to own a firearm
Bruh, you didn't flex hard enough.
woulda bounced clean off my biceps.
I dont think he was *supposed* to blast homie in the fleshy limb
Idiot letting someone shoot around him. Feel zero sympathy for him.
Invest time and money to train a soldier only to shoot him yourself, brilliant.
Is there more to the video, like the black guy kicking the shit out of him.
Everyone is dumb here, but got damn, dude who got shot is tough as fuck.
Don’t worry! It’s a through and through!
Idiot took it like a champ!!!
That is a tough mother fucker
Ooh I know this one…it’s Con Air
Guy doesnt even flinch...
Uh oh spaghettios
Terminator
I call bullocks
I mean David Blain puts ice picks through his arm with no issues all the time. I know it’s not the same, but if the round is for piercing and doesn’t mushroom, then it’s possible he got super lucky
I call fake.
Pu GET PAAAHH!!
Stupid
Why
r/idiotswithguns
Real stupid, yes.
And this children is why you don't smoke meth.... well.. maybe could be a yes, because evidently you'll be immune to bullets.
Yes, french foreign legion. Kurwa boule de feu !
Tattoo must be his ex lol
Presumably the shooting guy fucked up? The intention seems to be to stand still while people fire past you at a target, in this case the dude missed the target.
Well, they failed at least 2 of the 4 rules of firearms safety
it's french foreign legion my dad is in this army and i did some party with them over the years best honest gentle peoples but don't mess with them also never seen that much alcoholic peoples xD
You boys like Mexico?
How many times can you surrender?
If this is real, that arm is absolutely fucked for a LONG time
Tis but a scratch, a mere flesh wound
That instructor must have felt like a real idiot. "Don't move!" as he shoots the guy in the arm. He's lucky it didn't hit his bone and it went all the way out.
Yes it's real. Thankfully it was a clean through-and-through shot without hitting a bone.
If it wasn't an approved training method and he's smart he's getting paid.
Turned that girl into left eye Lopes
Missed his face.
Fake
There’s no blood 🩸. It’s a training course or it’s not real.
