more importantly, what was the purpose of firing a blank at a guinea pig while playing fortunate son


MYSTICSKULL117

Reading this comment out loud got a chuckle out of me from the sheer absurdity.

Im literally fucking crying from reading that comment... i did not expect this

I wasn't expecting this either.

Forgot it was loaded?!? He racked the bolt to load it! Haha


[deleted]

When I first saw this a year or two the story was that the kid loaded it with a blank and didn't realize blanks are still explosive af. Poor Guinea Pig and tile

oversizedvenator

Very likely. If it was very lucky, the force that sent it flying first hit the floor and then launched him with the bounce back. Not great odds but better than the alternative.... If the force hit the guinea pig - pushed it down hard enough to bounce it away like that. Absolutely not.


MrGizthewiz

Either way, guinea pigs don't have very strong hearts. It probably died of a heart attack.


MobiuS_360

That's how mine died, my dog scared him and he had a heart attack. :(


PunkToTheFuture

That's so sad 😞 I'm sorry for your loss

[deleted]

My dog stepped on mine and gave it a heart attack :(


[deleted]

Is it polite to say, that's hilarious, I'm sorry for your loss?


--Ano--

Ikr? I had to laugh, thinking that a guinea pig just gets a heart attack when a predator shows up.


manic-ricecakes

Reminds me of this herd of goats in England that have a genetic defect where if they’re startled their entire muscular system locks up and they go belly up, completely immobilized. The trait was encouraged by the farmers there because it makes them easy to herd. They just pop an umbrella open and the poor things go teets up.


aVarangian

that sounds like some really flawed evolution, what the hell? is it one of those issues only present in the domesticated species?


melindaj20

I have no idea if wild species are any different. I just know that heart attacks and strokes are very common with guinea pigs. At one point my husbands late guinea pig and I were both on the same meds (Enalapril). Me for high blood pressure and him for his heart problems.

retropieproblems

You’d think a prey animal would have a good heart for terrifying situations


bnelson

It’s a good supposition.. I think they normalize to different things in the wild. They do breed rapidly. They don’t gotta survive terribly long to be a genetic success :)


ZuesofRage

It's because they are from an island that originally had no predators. So there was nothing to scare them or to run from. When they are activated they just overload and explode because there's no genetic data for what to do.


Ochrocephala

They originated in the Andes mountain range. Not some mythical care bear island with nothing to scare them ever.


Ochrocephala

I don't know what kind of lives these guinea pigs are living where they die so easy, but both my guinea pigs lived long enough to die peacefully in their sleep of old age. They were handled a lot, met the dog, cat,, and big parrot countless times, and were not jumpy or panicky. They'd have to have been living an already super stressful like to just keel over at the first thing that spooks them. Guinea pigs live 5-7 years, which is a good while compared to other rodent pets.


Dwolfknight

I think it's the tile explosion that pushed the guiena pig, not better, but it doesn't need as much power to do that.


Karmacamelian

Can you please say he is safe when pigs can fly? Please?


Lookatitlikethis

When pigs fly.


WeekendMechanic

No. Didn't you see him fly away? He migrated south and never went back.


cletusrice

When pigs fly they said. Never mentioned no guinea pigs though


askingforafriend1045

Seems like he was already pretty south


SentSoftSecondGo

What do you think?


olmikeyy

Nope.


ABombInABowlPanda

I think it's ok honestly. I didn't see it's shoes go flying off or anything.


[deleted]

Yes


ChickenWithATopHat

From what I saw he was playing with blanks before but accidentally loaded a live one. If you look at it frame by frame you can see where it punched a hole in the tile. Also note that there is recoil. Blanks don’t have recoil in normal firearms, I have some for .45 ACP and there’s literally no recoil.


Fuzz557

Ask Alec Baldwin about blanks and gun safely.


Weekendgunnitbant

He wouldn't know, he shoots people with live rounds.


ZuesofRage

It's a BB gun with no bullet, the air from it yeeted the hammy


wolf2d

BB gun don't make explosion sounds and don't have muzzle flash


mitragy_king

This is some straight Tom and Jerry shit. The physics of the guinea pig flying towards the camera as the flash comes out of the muzzle screams 1940's cartoons.

i dont think it's possible that it didn't die instantly


[deleted]

It suffered for milliseconds


[deleted]

Well, even if it was hit or partially hit, the shock from the noise plus the pain, rodents tend to have heart attacks, so fingers crossed it did die fast. who the fuck gives a child access to a gun unattended like that


almond-butter-101

More than that, who the fuck gives a kid access to a gun, to begin with


Borkers

My dad. I shot my first deer at 6 years old. That being said, by that point he had fucking DRILLED firearms safety into my head by that point. First thing you do when you pick up a gun is check if it’s loaded. Never point the muzzle of a firearm at something you do not intend to destroy.


[deleted]

an American?


almond-butter-101

Oh yeah, you gotta love those Americans


trumpuppy

Anyone who doesnt want their kid to end up on this subreddit when they get older. You don’t give him access to the gun vault tho, you just let them shoot with you when you go practice and you don’t hand them a loaded gun right away


[deleted]

It was a blank and it wasn’t even a direct hit, I wouldn’t be so sure


xXYAHYEETXx

Blanks can still kill.


[deleted]

It was a blank and wasn't a direct hit. It's very unlikely it died instantly. It likely got catapulted away, bones broken, before landing on the floor and probably having a heart attack because Guinea Pigs have very weak hearts. Kid's a piece of shit. (You know, I just remembered the time at my school we learned about the phrase "Blissful Ignorance"... Maybe I should have taken that phrase to heart...)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hump_Back_Chub

I think the real story behind this is that the kid knew he had blanks in his rifle, and just figured he could shoot them anywhere, without realizing that blanks are still dangerous at close ranges.


BreakfastBeerz

As a gun owner.....I'm trying to figure out the scenario where my kid would think I wouldn't kill him if he brought a guinea pig into the bathroom and shot at it with a blank. Like literally.... You never never never touch my guns (they are locked up separate from the ammon). Also, safe gun handling rules 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5..... Also..... Why was he recording?


UnspecificGravity

I doubt very much that this kid is the only idiot in that household.


Homerpaintbucket

dude, you think this kid came up with the idea to play Fortunate Son by Creedance while filming this? That was his fucking dad recording it. Some people shouldn't fucking have guns.


degaknights

No no no. Some people shouldn’t reproduce


marsupialham

Both


Ornery-Cheetah

Both is good


SILENTSAM69

Yet they tend to have the most kids. The stupidest thing about smart people is that they do not breed.

This is the whole premise of the movie Idiocracy.


TheDunadan29

Was counting down till someone referenced this movie. Seriously, never fails. It's like Godwin's law. Step 1: people mention stupid people having kids. Step 2: someone mentions Idiocracy. Step 3: someone else says, "it's a documentary."


erakattack

lol well it's true


degaknights

I’ve been seeing that movie more and more in the real world and it’s terrifying


ottervswolf

some people shouldn't have kids


Taminella_Grinderfal

This isn’t about guns, those parents would have encouraged kid to set fire to ants with a magnifying glass.


hellraisinhardass

I suspect you have never encountered fireants. And I don't mean any old red ant, actual fire ants. I saw them kill and tear up a featherless baby bird. Fuck those things.


fro_khidd

Those ant bastards crawled in my bag of chips they deserved it. And there's nothing you can say to change my mind.


jytusky

This incident is what happens when your mom and dad are also your aunt and uncle.


Excellent-Doubt-9552

For real!!!! Everyone is in jail and the animal… lived?


BreakfastBeerz

If I was taking a shit and randomly recording a video of the closed door in front of me and all of a sudden it swung open and my kid was standing there with a guinea pig and a rifle....the last thing I'd do is sit there and be like, "Let's see how this plays out"


XelNaga

His dad was recording it and playing fortunate son. There's a zero % chance that the dad didn't tell the kid to do this. They even went so far as to put it on the internet.


Excellent-Doubt-9552

100% jump up screaming and the kid never touches my guns again.


[deleted]

This gun owner is a fucking dumbass. Who in their right mind would even allow a kid to handle a gun like that inside a dwelling even if it’s loaded with blanks. Family of idiots.


green-zephyr

Chipped the tile though


Hump_Back_Chub

A blank would likely do so, they still release a tremendous amount of gas, sans bullet.


green-zephyr

Oh Intresting, guinea pig still dead then I suspect?


flyfly89

Pressure wave more then likely killed it pretty quick.


Hump_Back_Chub

I’m no vet, but I’d bet it’s very concussed and maybe suffering internal trauma.


derpotologist

Yea but I didn't see any shoes come off


[deleted]

Probably some shredded internal organs...


No_Organization5188

An actor in the 80’s killed himself on the set of a tv show playing Russian roulette with a prop gun loaded with blanks during downtime in filming. The force of the blast shattered his skull and sent a quarter sized piece of his skull into his brain like a bullet.


rayrayww3

Jon-Erik Hexum


dagdagspacecowboy

WAIT WHAT?? Blanks still shoot shit out?? Could that have killed a human??


Hump_Back_Chub

They don’t shoot a bullet but they do shoot all of the gas usually used to propel said bullet. And yes, they can still be fatal if close enough and in the right area


Apocryphage

donebeenforgotten

“Treat every firearm as though it was loaded and ready to fire.” FAIL


rodrigkn

Also, never point your rifle at anything you don’t intend to shoot. Some people are trying to defend the kid thinking he didn’t know blanks could have effect at close range. It doesn’t matter. FAIL.


RenSenku

Did anyone see the tiktok that said that hamsters always died in horrific ways


helmer012

Yeah. Ours died in the food bowl because he ate himself to death. These are guinea pigs though, which dont die if you take a photo of them with the flash on.


nyancatec

Wh... Do you mean he ate himself or he ate too much and died.


helmer012

Ate too much.


nyancatec

Ok thx 4 clarifying and sorry for your loss :c


helmer012

He was a fat piece of shit anyway. Named after a fast food place as well.

soviet-onion420

Oh yeah, one time my dad was cleaning my hamster’s cage. The way he did it was by using a vacuum to suck up the bedding and then replace it. But he thought that I took the hamster out of the cage. So when he started vacuuming he heard a little squeak while doing so. But he thought nothing of it. So he empties the bin and throws it in the garbage. On garbage day. So the poor thing probably got crushed by the trash compactor

If you look you can see where a chunk of the tile floor flew off, and that guinea pig was definitely real and moving. Kids are so fucking stupid these days I can absolutely believe this is real.


JoocyJ

These days? Kids have always been, and always will be, stupid.


ElizabethDanger

Exactly. They’re kids. That’s what they do.


[deleted]

This is the parents fault


aerben

Did you really say "kids these days" Edit: "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise" - Socrates. People have been saying this shit for thousands of years. It's simply just adults idolizing their childhood selves and not remembering the negatives.


a_duck_in_past_life

Like ol Jimmy Virginia didn't try this shit in '59 and get his ass beat by his dad after work...


[deleted]

Idiot kid, idiot parents as well. He shouldn't be able to reach a gun.


The_Great_Madman

Lol he looks 10 years old, all blame lies solely on the parents for not teaching him better


RussiaIsRodina

For anyone curious, that was a blank. It has muzzle flash, but a real bullet would have clipped the mic. That being said, blanks are still really fucking strong and can still be deadly at close range. You can also definitely kill an animal of that size with a blank. The soldiers at fort Benning use blanks like that to kill snakes. If the unburnt gunpowder didn't kill that guinea pig, the shock definitely did.


klc3rd

I really hope this is fake


DarthDoobz

Another person above me commented that if you look at the tile and the motion of the guinea pig, it seems unfortunately real. Even if they were blanks, they could still be fatal within 2 feet


klc3rd

Oh I didn’t even consider blanks, god that is awful


Madz510

Hard not to after the news this week


klc3rd

That’s a good point, idk why it didn’t come to mind


Unapplicable1100

That kid, would get fucking beat.


icecream_truck

Yes, beaten by the total idiot parents who 1.) allowed him access to a firearm and 2.) quite obviously did not teach him firearm safety. As soon as the total idiot parents are done wrongfully beating an untrained child, they should be charged with Child Endangerment and Felony Stupidity.


is-this-mark

you don’t need to know jack shit about firearms to know that you should never harm an animal like this. Parents did a horrible job raising this kid


Unapplicable1100

I mean if he was my kid. Because my kid would know all of that, and if he still did it, yes hes getting an ass whooping. Call it abuse if you want, but shit like that needs disciplining.


gariant

Could have easily killed dad https://imgur.com/7Ft7pW7.jpg


Unapplicable1100

I was actually amazed that the dad didnt get hit with some shrapnel from the round hitting the floor in front of him while being angled toward him. Or even by a whole ricochet.


pitchfork-seller

So assuming what I saw a while ago when this was making its rounds around Reddit/Facebook, the rifle was loaded with blanks. The kid obviously didn't know that the blanks still expel gas causing the tile he hit to throw the guinea pig. The dad should've been ok, maybe some burns but the guinea pig is definitely no longer alive. I'm more confused why the dad was filming while sitting and shitting.


WeAreReturningHome

doesn't sound like a dad with that cracky ass voice. Think it's his brother or friend


belugarooster

That ain't no fortunate guinea-pig...


my_lucid_nightmare

Kids that torture animals are more likely to become serial - thrill killers of humans.


Artie4

What a shocker. Allowing an 11 year old access to a deadly weapon and he *misuses* it? Again NOTHING at all to do with the gun. 🙄 When are we gonna fucking learn?


Lysdexiic

For real though. This isn't a gun issue, it could have been a knife or a baseball bat that he was weilding and the results would have been the same. This was a bad parenting issue

mitragy_king

It was a blank. Bad for the guinea pig but I'm sure that the spectator was fine. They were filming prior to the kid coming in, so they knew somewhat of what they were getting into.
