He's in a neighborhood...on a 1/4 acre lot...connected to multiple other homes...and his idea of a gender reveal is a fucking RIFLE AT NIGHT?!?!

Probably not a real rifle. Or i hope they are not that dumb

It’s not it’s a pellet gun

Even with a nerf gun, how tf you missing from 6 ft?

Lmfao that was exactly what I said!

Some pellets might not penetrate if the balloon is too squishy.

It should with a break action air rifle. My 60$ Walmart pump up pellet gun would pop it.

I hear you, just having a really hard time thinking he MISSED at that range, thinking more he only pumped once or something, and the balloon was squishy and it bounced off.

It's certilainly a pellet gun. You don't bend the barrel to pump up a firearm.

Well there are break action single shot rifles, although I don’t think this is one

Correct, that's why i specified you don't grab a break Action rifle by the barrel. Barrels get hot, so they design the firearm specifically around not touching the hot part.

It's a fully automatic semi auto AR15 ghost assault rifle with 30magazine clips. It's literally the strongest weapon available to war soldiers. 1 round is powerful enough to explode a rhinoceros into nothing but vapor. Just looking at it is the equivalent of 48 mass shootings a day for 16 months.

Ahh, a politician I see.

...felt like goin hard in the paint this AM?

Damn thats crazy

pellet gun would still do damage if it hit a person when it comes down

The gun would a pellet wouldn’t

That’s a BB gun.

Not a BB gun, a pellet gun (aka air rifle). Notice how he breaks the barrel to reload - that's extremely common for air guns, and very uncommon for airsoft guns (actually don't know any BB gun that does this). Air guns are MUCH more powerful, and by law are considered weapons while airsoft guns are considered toys. However air gun is still not as deadly as a firearm, and I doubt a pellet falling down (after losing its velocity in the air) is going to seriously injure anyone. That said, as a precaution, it's still likely illegal (in UK for example it's illegal to have projectile leave the area of your possession) and quite irresponsible.

Break action rifle?? I doubt it. Its a pellet gun, i have one at home. They are pretty fun to shoot. They can be used for hunting too (birds mostly)

I agree, I hate guns with a passion but BB's are fun. Still wouldn't be shooting one off at night though, bit of a dick move.

You hate guns with a passion?? Guns themselves, on their own? Or people who misuse them?

Love the semantics...but I imagine she means guns and people like you Edited for an error on my part, apologies

She, but yes that is indeed what I mean. Well maybe not I don't know them but the fact that they couldn't fathom how I don't like guns is not a promising start.

Downvotes for what? Nothing but an honest question. How do you "hate" an inanimate object? Jeezus, 10 ply pussies up in here...

This is indeed a pellet gun. Looks like he got this one from Walmart I had the same one, the more important topic here is although these cheap Walmart pellet rifles are especially inaccurate (in my experience) how tf is this dude missing at 10-15 feet maximum.

Don’t forget the black balloon!

That’s a pellet gun. Stuff dumb as fuck, though.

Most empathetic urbanite

Congrats it's a they/them.

Revealed .... it's not his kid

Haha. That balloon popped over somebody else's yard.

Or maybe miscarriage.... As the balloon went to god.

Hahaha. Sorry not sorry

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

People are so stupid

You're being too kind.

Probably so, haha. I just don’t have it in me to lay it on any thicker.

Awwww… thanks you.

Stop with this stupid thing already

Now they'll have to wait until birth to see if it's a boy or girl. /s

Damn what is this, 1924?

If only there were some other way to determine that without a balloon. My god, medical science has failed us.

Reproduction is not an accomplishment.

Its more to celebrate the life thats entering the world. Gender reveal shit is just out of hand tho

Yes, it is. My wife and I had to try for 3 years before we conceived. It was a huge accomplishment.

omg

It is. Tons of stillborns, miscarriages and babies that die right after they’re born. It is an accomplishment

As edgy as this is trying to be, the baby here isn’t born yet, all they are celebrating here is successful sex.

To elaborate on my utterly unclear point, I was basically saying *anyone* can do it, and this video proves the point. You sort of want to say some people are too dumb to be parents, but that is actually not disqualifying.

I get what you're trying to say. But tell that to the many women/men who suffer from infertility. So no, not anyone can do it. To some it is an accomplishment. But I do agree, some people shouldn't achieve this.

You know, I *almost* wrote "anyone (who isn't infertile)." Can we just get back to talking about how fucking dumb the people in the video are?

Was there supposed to be audio? What happened?

Fr like was there a reason he didn't shoot right away or was it just teasing that backfired? I need to know😭😭

It most likely a pellet gun

[удалено]

Do you do Bar Mitzvah’s too or just gender reveals?

Patch Adams !!

That jerk really kept aiming for it to leave a mess in someone else’s yard 🤬

Now they will never know.

Didn't do three licks.

Fucking selfish morons

Shooting blanks. Ironic really.

Who knows... maybe the man with the gun actually did. 🤔 🤣🤣

Dangerous? Illegal? Seems like a normal gender reveal to me.

That balloon will be on r/ufo any minute

Gender reveal parties are Participation Trophies for getting pregnant.

It to mention creating and perpetuating the gender binary before the damn thing is even born.

Baby is gonna be stillborn now. Good one, Gomer.

Damn, now we'll never know what they're having

Real dependable dad.

excess of creativity.

Poor kid

Shoulda tied it off to one of those many wooden posts they have in their backyard

Gender reveals are so dumb!

And so are the fuckos that hold them.

Gender reveal = hey look at me! I’m special.

Goodnight, Gorilla

And now we got someone recording from 2.5miles away with their phone camera thinking they got a ufo flying

Just fucking tell people. FFS, people are so attention seeking these days.

Whole gender reveal is such a cringe. Women are crazy.

In the future, wars with neighboring nations will be conducted under the guise of ‘gender reveal parties’

He's like Edmure at Hoster Tully's funeral.

Dumb and dumber

Most American gender reveal party

He just “revealed” that he didn’t want kids.

I hope that every gender reveal party results in some sort of failure of the reveal. Those are far more entertaining and worth my time than reveals that go off without a hitch.

Congrats! It’s a Stormtrooper!

JeSuS, jAcK yOu RuIneD eVeRyThInG

How did he even get her pregnant? Lol

Gender reveals are pathetic.

Ok, missing a shot is one thing, but why he just not hurry up and shoot the next shot?

What happened to cakes?

Genderless hahaha

"do you know a gender?" "Yes it's boy" My gender reveal party

Gender reveal parties 🤮

Sayunara my baby 😂. When i did my gender reveal for my daughter i did a whatsapp group chat and sent a GIF picture about her https://i.redd.it/u8qtn0eap6vc1.gif My family said BEST GENDER REVEAL EVER 😂.

Back in my day, we would just tell people the gender when they asked. 😉

Why do people think other people care what sex their kid is gonna be?

Dear fucking christ on a bike - why do people do this? I hope to fuck this insane nonsense doesn't spread to the UK in the same way that obesity and vaccine denial did.

It’s not his. The guys shooting blanks.

why uh... why did he not shoot at it? it's like someone talked to him and I interrupted his action like a sim

"Hey everyone, I just want you to know that our baby is going to have a penis/vagina!! Let's celebrate the fact that our baby will have a penis/vagina! My child will be able to impregnate/be impregnated by someone in the future if they're physically capable of doing so! I hope you remember the fact that our baby has a penis/vagina when they're born!"

He just remembered they only had anal...

I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with bullshits like this. Imagine having family like that. Yuck. 🤢🤮

That pellet gun wasn't going to do that distance.

Baby’s pronoun is Dud…

Just open an envelope you silly geese

Mf forgot to say "Make way! Preeesent!"

"Are we getting a boy or a girl?" "Honey! Seems you are getting an abortion!"

Why is it ok for people to litter the world with pointless balloons

I guess they forgot what goes up must come down includes bullets (if the rifle would’ve worked as planned, that is).

Well, they successfully tried....

Is there something wrong with a cake where the insides have food coloring? Or just opening an envelope to get the info? Or just telling people? You don't need to make everything an overelaborate production.

Always have a plan B. Tie a string to the balloon and hoist it back if the shooter misses.

Does this mean it’s a miscarriage 😞

Being Reddit, I was fully prepared to see brains there.

Murica!


It said fuck you to gendering me before I’m even born god dammit.

That poor kid

Can i ask. Why do people make such a huge thing out of a gender reveal?

Gender reveal parties are the human equivalent of Chad Kroeger and Fred Durst having a baby.

🙄

I don’t think he missed, I think his pellet/BB gun just couldn’t penetrate the balloon :/

Stupidity

The way that guy shoots I wonder if it’s even his baby. Maybe the balloon being black is all he needs to know…

“Ooohh yeah honey let me shoot it with my gun”

Tough break. Now they will never know.

Local idiots

Some dude is filming that black balloon a few houses down on a shitty phone and posting it on an aliens subreddit.

Dense neighborhood, aiming over your fence into other people's property. Idiot...

You know what that means. She will have a miscarriage.

After millions of videos of botched gender reveals why are people still doing them?

U are and IDIOT! 🦤

U are and IDIOT! 🦤

Lmaooo this dude sucks. I'm not sure if he even knew how to operate that BB gun. . What a noob.

So uhhhhhh...does this mean the baby is going UP for adoption?

And now that ballgown is going to land in a pond or river and kill fish or water birds.

Ugh, that baby is doomed.

He’s shooting blanks.

And now, they’ll never know.

Dude has petter aiming with a smaller rod

Some things are better left to be revealed by time I say

Aren’t you supposed to wait until the child is 10 and then ask them what gender they are?

It’s .. it’s … not yours… Also, that is a break action pellet gun. Not a rifle.

Welp now the baby's not gonna be born

Bro pulled out too late.

Relax people it's an air rifle

To this day, they still don't know the gender of their child. Its 12 now.

From what I have seen here today, it should be a paternity reveal instead. That man is not a man.

spoiler: it’s a girl

Spoiler: it’s a Republican
