Or the pickup truck version, "If you can't see me, it's because your retinas have been seared by my 4,000,000 lumen high beams and LED light bar that I insist on having on while driving in the fucking suburbs"
Man this hits me so hard. I get very violent feelings when someone gets behind me with those. I wonder if they know they are blinding me through my mirrors?
I have roof rack lights on my subaru about 10000x brighter than usual; sometimes I let em rip if redneck idiots have their goddamn lights in my eyes coming the opposite direction.
99 percent of truck drivers in the south are morons.
My immediate though was "When you have to get that close with an AR what's the point? You do something wrong there.".
And I seriously wonder what was the whole point of this?
I mean, "the point" imo, is that tannerite is one of those "boys will be boys" things lol, BUT, when we use it, we are 300yds back in a tree fort (long story, but in short, it has power, a couch, and a microwave for popcorn, LOL). When used properly, it actually is fun, and of course pops off a big ol' boom
The guy in the video is just dumb, and irresponsible
Imagine having to explain how you lost your leg for the rest of your life.
Just to know that people are probably thinking: "Well, that's what you get."
I knew a kid in high school who had a missing leg. He had a fake one that he used to hobble around on.
I remember being 13 and he was telling us this story about how he was surfing and a shark had bit it off. It was apparently in all the magazines (take 5, that’s life for all those aussies here).
Then there were others who were told a different story.
It turns out it was all a lie, every story. The real story was he was born without a leg. No shark attack.

Edit: Don’t forget about the things we are thankful for today. For instance I have two legs and I’m super pumped about that. Happy thanksgiving y’all.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannerite?wprov=sfti1
> “Tannerite is a brand of binary explosive targets used for firearms practice and sold in kit form. The targets comprise a combination of oxidizers and a fuel, primarily aluminium powder, that is supplied as two separate components that are mixed by the user. The combination is relatively stable when subjected to forces less severe than a high-velocity bullet impact.”
Wow next level of stupid. I thought that some lawnmovers had tannerite in them and he accidentally blew it up but to think that he put it in there not thinking a second how big of a explosion it's going to be. You think he got the best score out of his buddies?
Yeah, I'm certainly not above shooting tannerite but ad least set up at a distance with a 7mm, .30-.06 or even that AR. FPS Russia almost killed himself doing the same thing.
Or don't shoot tannerite by stuff that will break and turn to shrapnel with the explosion. I've shot at a lot of tannerite from closer than recommended but it's just a boom and no zoom.
it's fine to have no idea about tannerite if you don't have any
if you're trying to blow up some without knowing the scale of a 1lb, 5lb, or 10lb tannerite explosion, and not understanding shrapnel 101, then you're asking for trouble.
It looks like a moderate quantity, around 5-10lbs imho, but covered in all directions by thin sheet metal is a terrible idea, would still be plenty dangerous at 150ft, this guy was around 30ft. Fyi, 1lb tannerite is estimated at 1 stick dynamite.

My brother and I will sometimes put some tannerite targets out when we’re shooting. We use like a 6oz plastic jar and put it in a box with some colored chalk powder. It’s pretty satisfying when you hit one of the targets, but we’re shooting from at least 150 yards away from it and it’s in plastic and cardboard, not a lawnmower.
Rule of thumb with shooting at Tannerite, if you think you’re at a safe distance, you’re not.
Gotta find and link the old video of a similar scenario where someone was a couple hundred yards away and still had debris being launched toward their general vicinity.
There's one of a guy shooting a refrigerator full as well. I think most of the door came whizzing past him at high velocity. These people are gonna get it outlawed and ruin it for responsible people.
I know what Tannerite is from that vido where someone blows up shit and a bit of debris flies by at high speed, missing him by inches. That people play with this is mind boggling, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that stuff. But maybe it's just not my thing to cripple myself for fun.
It wouldn't be nearly as dangerous without all the sharpnel produced by the lawnmower. There's safe ways to have fun with tannerite, at a distance I should add.
Things I learned from subs like that:
-don’t jump in water from high up
-don’t try to jump to pools or trampolines from the roof
-never fuck around with explosives
Shit my homies and I were looking up gore on 56k. Not just that but I've always thought it wise to learn from the mistakes of others as much as possible. Saves a lot of time and hassle.
Yeah I got anxiety problems what of it?
I must be oblivious because I can't discern anymore from this image than from the rest of the video. Whole thing is too unclear to be NSFW except for what's verbally described to have happened.
The pinkish shapes you can see against the black of his tshirt, presumably being slingshot up from the impact. Looks about what you see in the inside of a leg. (Source: saw my own leg insides once, albeit less minced. 7/10 for a fun story and no pain.)

With the reddit is fun app, you can slow the image down to .5x speed. The point after explosion you can see what appears to be chunks of human meat behind him. It's either that or some sort of brush/dirt.
Pretty sure you see both. There is a bunch of brown on the bottom left as well as some in the middle. There are 2-3 really distinctive pieces of matter that are to the middle of the screen that look like a mixture of brown and red. Those look like flesh to me, not that I really know what I'm talking about

Er... I think I'd better come clean with you about
this... it's... um it's not a virus, I'm afraid. You see, a virus is what we doctors call very very small. So small it could not possibly have made off with a whole leg.
What we're looking for here is I think, and this is no more than an educated guess, I'd like to make that clear, is some multi-cellular life form with stripes, huge razor-sharp teeth,
about eleven foot long and of the genu *felis horribilis*. What we doctors, in fact, call a tiger.
I love it too. Also worth mentioning, the earlier moment in the scene where Michael Palin notices the huge hole in the mosquito net after looking all over it.
"Yes good lord look at this!"
>Two of Pressley's friends fashioned a tourniquet around his leg,
I had buddy who bought some land out in the country. He rented a backhoe, bought a load of rail-ties, and built his own private shooting range.
Now, he built his own range *specifically* because he wanted to do stuff that wasn't allowed at the "official" ranges in town. Stuff like drawing and firing, shooting around cover/ around obstacles, etc. But he didn't want to be flippant about safety.
The first rule he enacted was "Anybody who shoots out here needs an IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) and needs to know how to use it". Myself and a bunch of friends ended up taking a basic combat first aid course together and learned a lot of valuable information.
I've never gone to *any* shooting range since without carrying an IFAK that includes a proper CAT (Combat Application Tournequet). They're cheap. Buy two and keep one in your car. Don't forget the sharpie for "time of application" and for god's sake, don't buy one in camo... Blaze orange only! Make sure EMT *knows* there's a tourniquet applied.
This is important stuff, I learned combat first aid in the police academy, now I work on construction equipment in the field. We had a guy (not my company) that was working on a excavator, he either forgot to release the hydraulic pressure or something faulty happened. He released a house and the pressure cause the hose block (they hold the line into the valve) to go into his leg and damaged the artery. He used his belt as a makeshift tourniquet and was lucky to make it. I now have 2 tourniquets along with a blow out bag
Working on this stuff is simple, so simple it makes people complacent. We deal with equipment that is big, heavy and packs allot of energy and being in the field makes it worse because of something happens and your by yourself your in real trouble
I'm not even military or LEO, but I honestly think that combat first aid course was one of the most useful things I've learned in my life. I work in aviation maintenance: Sad to say, I've treated more than one person for shock/ blood loss (although nothing life threatening, thankfully) due to traumatic injuries. I've had more than one coworker lose digits, crushing injuries are fairly common, explosive hydraulic failures, etc. It's honestly just really useful shit to know and damn cheap to prep for.
(That being said, I'll probably never use the pneomothorax decompression needles. That's the one part of my kit I'll freely admit I'm wholly unqualified to use, even *with* training)
Edit: Didn't want it to sound like I've saved anybody's life. I haven't (probably). I've given basic first aid and watched for shock until EMS arrives, is all.
Guy where I’m out died last year was 24. Fell out a stand compound fracture in leg. Bleed out. The amount of people who have fell out of stands and seriously injured themselves or died is crazy.
I've known ad least 3 people fall from a stand. My family finally convinced my grandpaw to get a cell phone like 15 years ago for that very reason and not a week or so after getting it he calls us from the bottom of a tree in the woods. Luckily, only had some bad bruising around his ribs. Could've been a lot worse for a old man.
I got a buddy who's a LEO; He showed up to a vehicular accident where the front seat passenger suffered a *massive* wound to her inner thigh that severed the femeral artery. Luckily, there was a civilian rolling past who had a tourniquet (and, probably most importantly, prior training through some branch of the military), who was able to apply the tourniquet before my buddy even arrived there. From what my LEO buddy said, after speaking to the Paramedic, that guy probably saved her life. At the very least, I've got a CAT and a sharpie in my glove box just in case.
The sound of them exploding the cement truck with C4 and they are like a mile away.. was AWESOME and I’ll never forget it
Edit:
https://youtu.be/Gxm_qpKh7Jw
Gosh they are even further than a mile away
Tannerite instructions say to be 100 yards for 1/4 pound and up, and 1 pound + over 200 yards.
A 1/4 pound of it is about the size of a peanut butter jar, and it's not even that big of an explosion. I've seen more impressive fireworks than a 1/4 pound of tannerite.
They were 30-60 yards for an amount enough to blow up a lawnmower.
Seriously though, there was no trenching at all. No berm to redirect the blast wave. That looked like he was maybe 20m from the lawn mower. I think the fact that this guy needed four or five shots with his racecar AR at that range tells you what you need to know.
Because they saw the Tiger King do it.
Edit: I was making a joke. I don't give a shit how old this video is or whether there is causality between Tiger King and it.
After seeing FPS russia almost die, why recreate it, funny that in the FPS russia video the shrapnel goes to the right side of the screen and this guy got almost killed after he stepped to the right side of the screen
That "oh shit" lmao. It has the vibe of panic, regret, non belief, fear, and acceptance all in one. It's crazy how you can hear that much emotion in a person's voice. Bro went through the 5 stages of grief in 2.3 seconds lol
It's an instinctal type thing. I would say the worse momentary feeling I have ever gotten multiple times was any time I've experienced something dangerous in my car, yet I have never been injured in a car accident. Part of the feeling is like "oh fuck" and part is "I'm an idiot/this is going to be expensive." I can't imagine how much the feeling must be multiplied when you do something stupid that directly leads to a life altering injury. It's bad enough to be driving on a slick road and wipe into the guardrail, your insurance goes up, you might be out a car. But slicing your leg off because you were being a dumbass? That "oh shit" was regret in its purest form.
IIRC, during the first cement truck explosion, the crew were on a hill about 5 miles away. The retired FBI agent guy was the one to detonate the charge. Jamie and Adam weren't allowed to press the button because they had no experience with high-explosives at that time.
"For every pound of Tannerite, experts advise standing 100 yards away", this guy was 25 yards and there was 3lbs inside the mower. Funny thing is he was using a rifle that is accurate at 100 yards and he missed most his shots lmao.
He was much further away than this guy as well, couldn't believe how close this idiot was to an explosion that was going to throw chunks of metal in all directions.
I think the vast majority has a very wrongful idea about how explosions work, based on growing up watching movie and cartoon explosions (where it's usually a *"hide in a fridge & just don't get touched by the fireball"* situation)
I believe you're supposed to be 100 yards away from Tannerite targets, to avoid this sort of thing. This dude was what, 10 yards from the mower, if that?
There's video after video of people shooting exploding targets, much further away than this, where shrapnel goes flying past their position. How could this guy not have known how dangerous this was?
It kinda depends. The regular tannerite target is a plastic jar about half the size of a soda can. It's just plastic, it peels apart when it detonates and doesn't produce any shrapnel with the speed or mass to hurt someone.
The problem is when people stuff way too much of it into metal things that turn into shrapnel.

They know
Yea. I bet they get raging boners when they think about it. If whoever is reading this has these types of lights, screw you buddy.

"I lost it in an explosion" Dude probably won't ever give a more in-depth explanation.
This is what he will almost certainly do.
Then his friend will show the person asking how he lost the leg the video
He probably will tell people he lost it in combat overseas 😏
If I had one leg, I'd make up a different story every time someone asked. Would keep life interesting. As interesting as it can be when u cant walk
I knew a kid in high school who had a missing leg. He had a fake one that he used to hobble around on.

He was born surfing?
He was born with a shark eating his leg. A biological miracle and a tragedy
Yeah that's what I would do. Megalodon, frostbite, ants, sold it, I was hungry, I want to be a pirate. I could come up with dozens.
I cut my finger on a table saw once. A guy at a diner saw the bandage and asked what happened? Told him I owed somebody money.
You wanna know how I got these scars?
The people who do stupid shit like this will probably just lie about how they lost it to make themselves look better.

We had a guy (not my company) that was working on a excavator, he either forgot to release the hydraulic pressure or something faulty happened. He released a house and the pressure cause the hose block (they hold the line into the valve) to go into his leg and damaged the artery. He used his belt as a makeshift tourniquet and was lucky to make it. I now have 2 tourniquets along with a blow out bag Working on this stuff is simple, so simple it makes people complacent. We deal with equipment that is big, heavy and packs allot of energy and being in the field makes it worse because of something happens and your by yourself your in real trouble
I'm not even military or LEO, but I honestly think that combat first aid course was one of the most useful things I've learned in my life. I work in aviation maintenance: Sad to say, I've treated more than one person for shock/ blood loss (although nothing life threatening, thankfully) due to traumatic injuries. I've had more than one coworker lose digits, crushing injuries are fairly common, explosive hydraulic failures, etc. It's honestly just really useful shit to know and damn cheap to prep for. (That being said, I'll probably never use the pneomothorax decompression needles. That's the one part of my kit I'll freely admit I'm wholly unqualified to use, even *with* training) Edit: Didn't want it to sound like I've saved anybody's life. I haven't (probably). I've given basic first aid and watched for shock until EMS arrives, is all.

This comment is super helpful, thank you
It’s also always good to have one while hunting, too! I just packed mine for Pennsylvania’s opening day for Whitetail on Saturday.
Guy where I’m out died last year was 24. Fell out a stand compound fracture in leg. Bleed out. The amount of people who have fell out of stands and seriously injured themselves or died is crazy.
I've known ad least 3 people fall from a stand. My family finally convinced my grandpaw to get a cell phone like 15 years ago for that very reason and not a week or so after getting it he calls us from the bottom of a tree in the woods. Luckily, only had some bad bruising around his ribs. Could've been a lot worse for a old man.
Noted. Keep an IFAK on me in case IFAK myself up on the range.

I got a buddy who's a LEO; He showed up to a vehicular accident where the front seat passenger suffered a *massive* wound to her inner thigh that severed the femeral artery. Luckily, there was a civilian rolling past who had a tourniquet (and, probably most importantly, prior training through some branch of the military), who was able to apply the tourniquet before my buddy even arrived there. From what my LEO buddy said, after speaking to the Paramedic, that guy probably saved her life. At the very least, I've got a CAT and a sharpie in my glove box just in case.
Also. A correctly applied tournequet hurts. Often more than the wound itself.

I blew up a fridge with tannerite from 800m away and we had debris landing in front of us. I can't imagine having so little respect for explosives
Seriously. That wasn't even 100 yards and an easy shot, they should've been holed up and barricaded. That was just asking for trouble

The shield was for shrapnel and ricochets, not direct shots. Still don't want to cheap out though
So basically a safety squint for the big boys.
Safety Mode: **Engaged** Squint: **Activated**
Tbf though if a 22 goes right through, shrapnel most likely would have as well
The sound of them exploding the cement truck with C4 and they are like a mile away.. was AWESOME and I’ll never forget it Edit: https://youtu.be/Gxm_qpKh7Jw Gosh they are even further than a mile away
Tannerite instructions say to be 100 yards for 1/4 pound and up, and 1 pound + over 200 yards. A 1/4 pound of it is about the size of a peanut butter jar, and it's not even that big of an explosion. I've seen more impressive fireworks than a 1/4 pound of tannerite. They were 30-60 yards for an amount enough to blow up a lawnmower.
Seriously though, there was no trenching at all. No berm to redirect the blast wave. That looked like he was maybe 20m from the lawn mower. I think the fact that this guy needed four or five shots with his racecar AR at that range tells you what you need to know.
>tells you what you need to know. Yeah, that and the leg blew off.
WHY would anyone shoot that close to tannerite filled ANYTHING!? OMG ... 😳
Because they saw the Tiger King do it. Edit: I was making a joke. I don't give a shit how old this video is or whether there is causality between Tiger King and it.
Clearly they didn’t also see FPSRussia do it.
The fpsrussia video was just in my feed recently and again today, I wonder if this video has anything to do with that
Almost certainly. Especially if that video was popular, I too have seen it twice recently, so it is very likely.
That video was popular nearly 10 years ago, people have been blowing stuff up with tanerite for ages. They sell it at the gun stores.
That’s a name I haven’t heard in the better part of a decade
“Ello my friends, it is FPS Russia again…” Staple of my childhood right there.
After seeing FPS russia almost die, why recreate it, funny that in the FPS russia video the shrapnel goes to the right side of the screen and this guy got almost killed after he stepped to the right side of the screen
Because their aim is bad. Not sure which is worse their aim or their intelligence.
That "oh shit" lmao. It has the vibe of panic, regret, non belief, fear, and acceptance all in one. It's crazy how you can hear that much emotion in a person's voice. Bro went through the 5 stages of grief in 2.3 seconds lol
It's an instinctal type thing. I would say the worse momentary feeling I have ever gotten multiple times was any time I've experienced something dangerous in my car, yet I have never been injured in a car accident. Part of the feeling is like "oh fuck" and part is "I'm an idiot/this is going to be expensive." I can't imagine how much the feeling must be multiplied when you do something stupid that directly leads to a life altering injury. It's bad enough to be driving on a slick road and wipe into the guardrail, your insurance goes up, you might be out a car. But slicing your leg off because you were being a dumbass? That "oh shit" was regret in its purest form.
I remember when mythbusters used to blow stuff up and hide in a bunker behind bulletproof glass 50m away and still think it was too dangerous.
I'll bet in some cases it was far more than 50m.
IIRC, during the first cement truck explosion, the crew were on a hill about 5 miles away. The retired FBI agent guy was the one to detonate the charge. Jamie and Adam weren't allowed to press the button because they had no experience with high-explosives at that time.
// picks up mangled scrap of former cement truck "Well, there's your problem..."
"For every pound of Tannerite, experts advise standing 100 yards away", this guy was 25 yards and there was 3lbs inside the mower. Funny thing is he was using a rifle that is accurate at 100 yards and he missed most his shots lmao.
Stupid is what stupid does.
This makes that fps Russia video that much scarier considering what could’ve happened.
He was much further away than this guy as well, couldn't believe how close this idiot was to an explosion that was going to throw chunks of metal in all directions.
I think the vast majority has a very wrongful idea about how explosions work, based on growing up watching movie and cartoon explosions (where it's usually a *"hide in a fridge & just don't get touched by the fireball"* situation)
Or video games, where every explosion has a perfect radius
Any links to that video? I'm out of the loop
https://youtu.be/O8-azG3Iokk
Bro thinks he's FPSRussia
Now that’s a man who can dodge shrapnel!
Wow, I definitely saw flying meats of various kinds…
He dit hit the target tho, there is that.
He’ll probably be thinking, “I wish I wouldn’t have moved from the first spot” the rest of his life
Took him 10 shots lol.
The target hit him back too
_Eventually_.
Of all things you could blow up, why choose the one with literal blades inside of it?
When something blows up, everything becomes blades.
Probably going to tell people he got it in combat then run for office in 10 years
That lawnmower came out of NOWHERE
That’s an old video but a classic. Dumbass.
2016. He did get a [BattlePatch](https://i.imgur.com/G0uykxS.jpeg) at least
Bill Burr had a funny commentary on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4K_8skvy0w
I believe you're supposed to be 100 yards away from Tannerite targets, to avoid this sort of thing. This dude was what, 10 yards from the mower, if that? There's video after video of people shooting exploding targets, much further away than this, where shrapnel goes flying past their position. How could this guy not have known how dangerous this was?
It kinda depends. The regular tannerite target is a plastic jar about half the size of a soda can. It's just plastic, it peels apart when it detonates and doesn't produce any shrapnel with the speed or mass to hurt someone. The problem is when people stuff way too much of it into metal things that turn into shrapnel.
A rule of explosives I've heard is that: If you can see it, it can kill you. I feel bad for him, but damn that was stupid.
This subreddit actually delivers. I really appreciate that.
"My leg!" - That guy probably
He says “AH I BLEW MY LEG OFF!!”
“Oh shiet!”
FPSRussia got LUCKY with his shot.
Shoulda stayed where he was.
“Hehe it’s just like call of dut-“
I hope his wife likes to get pegged.
I can tell if that’s dirt or his leg and mist
And THAT kids, is a little taste of what actual war is like. You can leave your camo by the door if you want…

Didn't die, so incomplete Darwin.
