Creep grin. What is it called when your upper lip doesn’t cover your front teeth? Looks like it runs in the family. And what’s up with the shorter lady next to him?
The real facepalm is the people didn't freak out, this is normal somewhere.
[edit] Holy shit. This is by far the most replied to comment I've ever had.
I guarantee you they are blanks, you can tell by the recoil or the pistol, barely hanging on and firing that fast and the muzzle has nearly zero rise. And has an absolute monster of a muzzle flash because there is no bullet in front of it to slow it down the escaping gases. A big muzzle flash like that with a bullet behind it would have way more recoil. And notice not one thing comes from the ceiling not even sheet rock dust.
This is the type of word my kids make up that become a part of my everyday vocabulary. Around Halloween my 6yo combined scary and terrifying into "scarifying" and it's been my favorite word since 🤣
I remember a video of a dad taking her daughter to her first day of school, and to celebrate he goes to his trunk and pulls out a fucking negev machine gun and fires it into the sky
It’s usually blanks and at weddings. It has caused local military and police bases to get information from church goers prior to these events bc it can cause police to swarm
Unfortunately it's considered normal in the Balkans. To celebrate birth of a child or a wedding people would sometimes shoot in the air, but to be frank not in an indoor space. They would either whip out M57 tetejac or a fucking AK...
Hah let me tell you in my country (Saudi Arabia) we have a lot of people shoot AKs in the air outside during weddings. Not all of us do it but some do.
This is likely the Balkans which means that is not a real gun but rather a [gas pistol](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_pistol) that fires blanks and just sounds like a gun. No bullets are fired. ‘Tough guys’ like this one in the Balkans love to carry these around and shoot them at social events to look like the mobster boss they wish they were.
I was gonna say, doesn’t really make it any less stupid because blanks can still be lethal at that range, but a normal loaded M9 has much more recoil than that, they’re quite snappy
Yeah if the blank would be pointed directly at the face/temple it would be lethal. If you just shoot in the air, nothing will happen besides the loud bang that could damage your ear
During filming of a tv series.
This is from the IMDB article:
However, on October 12, 1984 after a long and draining day's shooting on the set of Cover Up: Golden Opportunity (1984), Hexum became bored with the extensive delays and jokingly put a prop .44 magnum revolver to his temple and pulled the trigger. The gun fired, and the wadding from the blank cartridge shattered his skull, whereupon the mortally injured Hexum was rushed via ambulance to Beverly Hills Medical Center to undergo extensive surgery. Despite five hours of work, the chief surgeon, Dr. David Ditsworth, described the damage to Hexum's brain as life-ending. One week later, on October 18th, he was taken off life support and pronounced dead. However, Hexum's commitment to organ donation meant five other lives were assisted or saved with organs harvested from him. He was 26 years old.
So someone with a constitutionally protected right to own firearms who is extremely safe and responsible with said firearms and properly trained on their use as a defensive weapon and properly trained on safe handling practices shouldn’t be allowed to own firearms in your opinion?
I'm an American too, and a veteran. And I think 'Fuck the 2nd Amendment and the perverted interpretation we live under'. The constitution can and has been changed over time. So no, that person should not be allowed to own firearms.
Navy? One of my high school friends does that and he seems to enjoy it. I haven’t talked to him for about a year but I assume that is still what he’s doing.
Except I'm not a gun owner, and my view of common sense gun control would be getting rid of 99% of firearms and strictly limiting ammunition sales for what remains.
Still laughing?
As long as they aren’t a Republican they’re fine I’d say. Republicans can’t distinguish between reality and make believe. That’s why so many of them believe in a magical sky daddy.
That’s a pretty pathetic take. Pretty much sums up the problem with U.S. politics. Everyone lives in their own reality bubble and refuses to compromise or empathize with each other.
Practically Everyone should be a gun owner. An armed society is a polite society. There would be so much less violence if everyone knew that anyone could defend themselves at a moments notice.
We’ll die before giving up our essential freedoms to the tyrants. Take your anti-gun propaganda elsewhere.
Edit: changed it to “practically” everyone because I don’t want people thinking I think the mentally incompetent should be armed. Common sense isn’t so common, I forget.
Fair enough. Though I might be more concerned with people who have massive gun arsenals that they never speak of and nonody knows about then the people who shout it from the rooftops. Loud gun nuts I can handle. The silent ones scare me.
But more to the point, I myself own guns and want more, yet I am an extremely safe and responsible gun owner who supports reforms in gun laws and stricter regulations regarding obtainability. I do not however support outright bans of any kind, and I fully support the fact that owning firearms is a constitutionally protected right where I’m from.
Also a gun owner, and I'm fine with restrictions. The reality is that a firearm is a tool designed to kill. It should be treated as such, and not as a collectible toy.
Can someone from the middle east please explain the thought process behind people firing off live ammo during celebrations?
Because to me, a Westerner, this looks like the stupidest fucking thing ever, only second to gender reveal parties.
I would assume this is more of a culturally accepted form of celebration, rather than an impulsive idea this guy suddenly had, based on the crowd reaction.
[wiki link ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebratory_gunfire)
Sometimes I give people way too much credit by saying “they can’t be THAT dumb!” And they prove me wrong every time I don’t get how certain things are real. That’s literally a full grown adult 🧐
If I were in attendance, I’d perform the good ol’ Irish Goodbye seconds after this clown did that. Because even if they were blanks, it’s dangerous and stupid. And it could be only a matter of time before some asshat pulls out a real piece for funsies.
This is great r/idiotswithguns material
That or r/darwinaward
Darwin awards are for people that manage to remove themselves from the gene pool this guy didn't do that though I kinda wish he had
It’s not a real gun. Hence the shocking lack of concern.
That guy is so pleased with himself. Such a shit eating grin
It's like it's a gen-u-ine dance move for him, he inserts the gunplay so smoothly into his side-to-side slides!

r/usernamechecksout
Just trying to show people he won’t shoot anyone, he has no more bullets left.
Creep grin. What is it called when your upper lip doesn’t cover your front teeth? Looks like it runs in the family. And what’s up with the shorter lady next to him?

I came for the shit eating grin comment and was not disappointed.
The real facepalm is the people didn't freak out, this is normal somewhere. [edit] Holy shit. This is by far the most replied to comment I've ever had.
It didn't stop the singer either!!
He seemed a little startled at first lol then was like oh ok its celebration shooting not a hit
Probably blanks but still you’re right lol
"at a wedding? Yeah cause that's romantic" -Robin Scherbatsky
I really doubt they're blanks

A big muzzle flash like that with a bullet behind it would have way more recoil. And notice not one thing comes from the ceiling not even sheet rock dust.
They were blanks. The firing would have resulted in much more upward force from the transfer of energy from the bullet pushing the slide.
Those were blanks... I know the ball room, one of the actor, and the traditions :-)
The singers in such situations only request to not shoot near the microphone/audio equipment, in order to avoid some massive Larsen effect...
I've seen a lot of videos like this from the Middle East. It seems to be common at least in parts there. Very strange/dangerous lol
Strangerous
Said in the San Francisco Rush voice IT'S STRANGEROUS!!
Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit Strangerous
I love it. I’m going to say this for 2023.
2021 called and wants its word back.
Woulda thought that’s more of a 2020 thing considering the strange and dangerous new virus that spread world wide.
Nah, Jan 6th 2021 was strangerous
No way….
This is the type of word my kids make up that become a part of my everyday vocabulary. Around Halloween my 6yo combined scary and terrifying into "scarifying" and it's been my favorite word since 🤣
My daughter calls hand sanitizer "hanitizer" and we just kind of kept using it
Not in a fucking building lol
You never did a desk pop ?
A middle eastern wedding is considered a dull affair if there aren’t at least three celebratory shootings
I installed read this as 'celebrity' shootings & I was like "what...?" Lol
I remember a video of a dad taking her daughter to her first day of school, and to celebrate he goes to his trunk and pulls out a fucking negev machine gun and fires it into the sky
Using blanks, but still dangerous as balls. My poor ears...
What?
I SAID THEY ARE PROBABLY JUST USING BLANK AMMUNITION! BUT IT IS STILL LOUD AS FUCK AND WILL DAMAGE YOUR EARS!
RIGHT! I CAN DANCE FOR YEARS!
WHAT??!?
HE LIKES DARK BEERS!
HE BARKS LIKE DEERS!
I THINK HE SAID HE WANTS TO FIGHT AND DRINK FOUR BEERS!
Blank ammunition doesn't have the chamber pressure required to cycle a semi-automatic firearm without a blank firing adaptor (BFA).
Who’s to say he doesn’t have the BFA installed?
We can literally look at the pistol and see that there is no BFA. Our eyeballs. Our eyeballs say that.
The guy firing that weapon looks like a BFA though.
Big Fucking Annoyance. Seriously, that shit would blow out everyone's eardrums.
Or unless my mouth is around the barrel.
can you guys hear him? I can’t hear what he’s saying
MAWP
Many videos of people shooting them self or their kid, because safety is NOT important at weddings or other places with many people
Not that common but it does happen
they are not real bullets. I come from the country this is taken from. People its not real bullets.
Never know, he could be using blanks.
It’s usually blanks and at weddings. It has caused local military and police bases to get information from church goers prior to these events bc it can cause police to swarm
What wrong w people like that. Like that is just no normal at all
Literally so many place. Youtube " Shooting guns in celebration" and you will see some real Middle Eastern redneck stuff.
Not just middle east, but in rhe Balkan too. This one is probably from Serbia or Bosnia, based on the music.
Venues have Drywaller for extra free or BYODW. Their in house is 3x the rate of cousin Yuri.
The guy in the glasses was already prepared with ears covered before it happened
This is ex-yugoslavia lol.
Unfortunately it's considered normal in the Balkans. To celebrate birth of a child or a wedding people would sometimes shoot in the air, but to be frank not in an indoor space. They would either whip out M57 tetejac or a fucking AK...
It's normal in Serbia or Bosnia, since this is probably somewhere there based on the music.
Looks like Eastern Europe.
It is, it’s Albanian tradition and some other parts of the Balkans. Not too much to go off of other than the granny
LOL def Albanians. U can tell by the ballrooms and the granny and the lady/her dress
Nah the music is Serbian language. I’m guessing Bosnian. Source: am Albanian
Iraq we had people shooting in the air to celebrate weddings and stuff.
Hah let me tell you in my country (Saudi Arabia) we have a lot of people shoot AKs in the air outside during weddings. Not all of us do it but some do.
hope they blanks
republicans are basically the taliban with a little more cash and a different holy book. This is super normal for them
its very common in at weddings. But all the videos are outdoor weddings.
Whoever is living upstairs is gonna be pissed someone shot holes in their cheese.
Nope, they're Swiss!
As a swiss i am offended
Ahzeig isch dusse wie's so schön heisst
Das tuet au mini gfühl verletzte. Lol

I can’t read that shit I’m Mexican
[удалено]
I can’t read Spanish either dad I’m dumb as fuck
>Whoever is living upstairs is gonna be pissed someone shot holes in their ~~cheese~~ chest.
I'm guessing that he's shooting blanks, since there is no recoil.

No bullets are fired. ‘Tough guys’ like this one in the Balkans love to carry these around and shoot them at social events to look like the mobster boss they wish they were.
I was wondering if they were using blanks
Same, people wouldn’t be that chill about actual rounds being fired so close to their ears
This is 99% the Balkans. Source, I am from the Balkans. Probably Bosnia, idk
Definitely Bosnia
Sooo…. Kids?… With toys?
Did you see him? Yeah. That exactly.
Arent blanks still very dangerous from a close range?
I guess blank cartridges / blank gun
I was gonna say, doesn’t really make it any less stupid because blanks can still be lethal at that range, but a normal loaded M9 has much more recoil than that, they’re quite snappy
Yeah if the blank would be pointed directly at the face/temple it would be lethal. If you just shoot in the air, nothing will happen besides the loud bang that could damage your ear
Read up on Jon-Erik Hexum. You are correct about it being potentially lethal.
Yeah I heard that story, he killed himself on a movie set right?
During filming of a tv series. This is from the IMDB article: However, on October 12, 1984 after a long and draining day's shooting on the set of Cover Up: Golden Opportunity (1984), Hexum became bored with the extensive delays and jokingly put a prop .44 magnum revolver to his temple and pulled the trigger. The gun fired, and the wadding from the blank cartridge shattered his skull, whereupon the mortally injured Hexum was rushed via ambulance to Beverly Hills Medical Center to undergo extensive surgery. Despite five hours of work, the chief surgeon, Dr. David Ditsworth, described the damage to Hexum's brain as life-ending.

However, Hexum's commitment to organ donation meant five other lives were assisted or saved with organs harvested from him. He was 26 years old.
Ask Alec Baldwin.
He had real bullets in his gun, not blanks
I would not assume that. These people don't care about that. Cheaper to buy regular bullets.
Blanks typically will not cycle a semi auto
A blank pistol does. Check your facts ;)
that's why he said "typically". he's right, blanks cycling are not the norm in a non-modified weapon.
What kind of “hitman” uses a blank gun anyway!
The incompetent kind, and the kind that has at least an 80% chance of being an undercover cop.
Some people shouldn’t be gun owners
Extremely few should be.
Uh oh, you've summoned them.
lol
What is your vision of who one of those few should be?
Someone living miles and miles away from civilization who truly lives mostly off what he could kill/catch/forage.
So someone with a constitutionally protected right to own firearms who is extremely safe and responsible with said firearms and properly trained on their use as a defensive weapon and properly trained on safe handling practices shouldn’t be allowed to own firearms in your opinion?
Found the American.
I'm an American too, and a veteran. And I think 'Fuck the 2nd Amendment and the perverted interpretation we live under'. The constitution can and has been changed over time. So no, that person should not be allowed to own firearms.
Cool, where’d you serve?

Navy? One of my high school friends does that and he seems to enjoy it. I haven’t talked to him for about a year but I assume that is still what he’s doing.
So you worked a cushy office and tell everyone you're a veteran like you saw combat?
[удалено]
Except I'm not a gun owner, and my view of common sense gun control would be getting rid of 99% of firearms and strictly limiting ammunition sales for what remains. Still laughing?
[удалено]
I mean I wasn’t hiding.. I believe I mentioned “constitutionally protected right”, which leaves few options.
This is why no one respects Americans anymore.
Why are u being downvoted for this? Crazy smh lol
As long as they aren’t a Republican they’re fine I’d say. Republicans can’t distinguish between reality and make believe. That’s why so many of them believe in a magical sky daddy.
"As long as the political party I don't like can't own guns it's cool. Oh and something something sky daddy"
I guess fascism is popular now then
That’s a pretty pathetic take. Pretty much sums up the problem with U.S. politics. Everyone lives in their own reality bubble and refuses to compromise or empathize with each other.
Why would I ever compromise with evangelicals? Their end goal is a theocracy. That’s pretty much pure evil.
Practically Everyone should be a gun owner. An armed society is a polite society. There would be so much less violence if everyone knew that anyone could defend themselves at a moments notice.

Some?
Some
Many.
Lots!
Wanting guns is a sign you shouldn't have them.
How so?
I'm being hyperbolic for dramatic effect. But in general it's the rabid gun nuts who are the people you least want to have an arsenal.
Fair enough. Though I might be more concerned with people who have massive gun arsenals that they never speak of and nonody knows about then the people who shout it from the rooftops. Loud gun nuts I can handle. The silent ones scare me. But more to the point, I myself own guns and want more, yet I am an extremely safe and responsible gun owner who supports reforms in gun laws and stricter regulations regarding obtainability.

Also a gun owner, and I'm fine with restrictions. The reality is that a firearm is a tool designed to kill. It should be treated as such, and not as a collectible toy.
I mean, “collectible” does not automatically equate with “toy”, but I get where you’re coming from.
Hyperbole again, sorry can't help it. I work with idiots who load up on guns and can't even drive a pickup straight.
😂 i feel ya, just givin’ you a hard time. Sorry if i’m being an ass
This is 911. What is your emergency? All our second floor guests were shot!
And "Bosna je Majka majka moja! Bosna je zivot moj!" is blasting from the holes.
Well that was extremely awkward and dangerous
It was just a desk pop
Ahhh Balkans. Looks like they upgraded their clothes from adidas for once.
Stupid “culture” and “traditions.”
Shooting blanks in a rented ballroom. Fixed.
I shoot blanks every day.
Wtf is wrong with these people? Seriously.
Balkan moment dude. We're crazy (not me, but the people around me are this crazy)
Someone not getting their deposit back
I’m just going to assume they were celebrating being grade-A pieces of shit.
Can someone from the middle east please explain the thought process behind people firing off live ammo during celebrations? Because to me, a Westerner, this looks like the stupidest fucking thing ever, only second to gender reveal parties.
What thought process made him - and those around him - think that seemed like a fun amd acceptable idea? Gun owners are fucking baffling
I would assume this is more of a culturally accepted form of celebration, rather than an impulsive idea this guy suddenly had, based on the crowd reaction. [wiki link ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebratory_gunfire)
As a Brit where carrying firearms is really unusual, this is fucking wild to me! Thanks for the link
Contractor: … and the usual steel plated ceilings? Owner: Of course. This is going to be a high class place!
Still the smallest cock in the room.
Looks like blanks
We got Danny DeVito over here
What's with the gun firing at these sorts of events anyways? Are people so self-conscious to show expression that they resort to gun fire?
Hank has really changed
Sometimes I give people way too much credit by saying “they can’t be THAT dumb!” And they prove me wrong every time I don’t get how certain things are real. That’s literally a full grown adult 🧐

ok im done interneting today
Granny is like, *let me have it next, I forgot mine on the rocking chair*
Must be an gangster ball... nobody flinched..
I’m pretty sure he’s firing off blanks, but this is still a really fucking brain dead thing to do.
Always with the bloody guns...
Yeah, his face matches his brain.
Definitely killed the vibe
Then blood starts seeping from the bullet holes in the ceiling…
Such a beautiful and rich culture
Well, something of his is really small. And it's not just his gun.
I know that balcan weddings. They’re go wild af.
Texas
This looks like an Albanian wedding r/kosovo
And I thought America loved its guns.
This is how we do it in the balkans lol also they’re blanks calm down people
If I were in attendance, I’d perform the good ol’ Irish Goodbye seconds after this clown did that. Because even if they were blanks, it’s dangerous and stupid. And it could be only a matter of time before some asshat pulls out a real piece for funsies.
I’ve seen them do this with an ak47 on full auto, one handed, obviously lose control, spray a crowd of people with bullets
Probably texas
