God fucking damnit.
I get that this is a joke, and it is a good joke, but guns will fucking kill you if you are fucking stupid.
The actual original image, because I don't want any of you goobers to blow your own balls off, or accidentally cap your friend or neighbor:
this goes hard
More pixels?
Weapons are best cleaned while drunk.
Wanna hear something dumb? Not even a sarcastic joke: If you have a loaded revolver with a cocked hammer, and you want to unload it, you must pull the trigger.
Reductive to say it that way, but basically the cylinder locks while the hammer is back, and most hammers won’t move once in position. Ultimately, the trigger’s job is specifically to release the hammer - just normally resulting in a violent impact with the bullet. If the hammer is being tightly held, or even blocked with one’s full hand, the weapon won’t go off.
I don’t own a gun, but I remember it because it’s the stupidest gun fact I’ve learned.
it's probably really cheap and reliable to build it that way? that's what i always assume when i hear "dumb" design for some products
It's required for how revolver weapons operate. You cannot have the cylinder floating at all as even a few mm of difference can result in catastrophic failure. People saying revolvers are more "reliable" are full of fucking shit. The damn things are like clocks with their own set of springs and similar to operate.
It was true that early semi-autos were unreliable in keeping from going off suddenly with a round chamber and hammer back. That was early ones though, not today's. While it's not 100%, it's still much safer than a revolver with the hammer back.
Sig gang
Didn't sig make a Turning Point USA edition of one of their guns not too long ago?
You're not going to find an Obama Hope edition firearm out there.
They all do lol
S&W does this?
You should shoot yourself with small caliber bullets to build up immunity to larger ones.
The body has a way of just shutting that down.
The first one is correct in an odd roundabout way. You can tell if the weapon is loaded by its weight. If the weapon has any weight whatsoever, i.e. it exists, it is treated as if it is loaded. Is there a weapon on the ground in front of you? It's loaded. Have you been holding it for a while? It's loaded. Did you clear it then put it on the ground and walk away for a bit? Surprise! It's magically loaded again.
The always loaded thing is to also teach you to not treat it flippantly. That you keep cognizant of where it's pointing at all times and never at someone without intention to shoot them. Even if it's a semi-auto with the magazine out, slide back, chamber empty you still treat that like a loaded gun.
The devil loads the weapon while you're not looking
Did you clear it ~~then put it on the ground and walk away for a bit~~? Surprise! It’s magically loaded again.
During my service, the first rule was extended: "every weapon must be regarded as loaded, until you ensured it isn't"
During my service the rule was pretty clear that any assembled weapon is always treated as loaded, regardless how many people have checked it. Part of the idea was that no matter how sure you are that your weapon is clear, there's no way for me to be sure, and if you ever muzzle-swipe me you can bet your ass I'm not taking any chances on whether it's clear. So basically, if the weapon is assembled, it's loaded. Always.
is that a leaked copy of a police training guide?
Can't be; there's nothing about shooting minorities.
That's the hidden panel you need a patreon sub for.
Verify if the firearm is loaded by checking for a bullet while looking down the barrel. Optionally, ask a friend for help, just point it towards them for a quick check.
Reynholm is so thoughtful, he wouldn't want the bullet to go to waste.
US police training?
Unironically there's training where they show trainees 2fps videos of people quick-drawing on cops, and they don't pass until they shoot the frame the person reaches in a pocket, since theres zero frames between seeing a gun and getting shot.
That’s the old training videos, from the woke Obama years. Now they’re just shown videos of black men with their hands up, women driving cars, and kids with their backs turned. If it’s an irate white dude with an AR you de-escalate. Unless that dude looks like he’s gay or possibly a pale Mexican.
Best way to check if a gun is loaded is by pulling the trigger.
You should probably look down the barrel as you do, so you can watch whether a bullet comes out, right? Otherwise you might miss it.
Pretty sure this was taught at my CCW refresher course.
My rules of firearms safety:
But then how do you shoot people that accidentally forgot to use their turn signal. Sounds like hell to me hoss
Who cares about that when the entire city is pedestrian and cycling focused.
Yeah, I recommend pointing a gun at police, that solves the problem real quick
You'll be problem free for the rest of your life!
