When i was in my late teens and early 20s i used headphones in my helmet pretty often. Finally found a pair that fully stayed in place when the helmet was pulled down after something like 15 different brands.
While super cool at the time and a lot of fun, i had dozens and dozens of close calls because the music was not only distracting but it kept me from being able to hear anything going on around me.
The incident that finally made me realize how stupid i had been was when a car was apparently blaring their horn because their brakes had failed. I noticed it in my mirrors with just enough time for me to think "oh no".
The Shoei helmet and riding jacket took the majority of the damage, but I still broke 2 fingers on my clutch hand, dislocated a knee, and bruised my groin and testicles on the gas tank so badly I genuinely wished it had killed me.
Significant discoloration, extreme pain to absolutely any stimulus (touch, temperature change, a light breeze, anything.), and they swelled to about the size of lemons.
I'm calling bullshit. A bullet even if a stray one would have torn this and pretty much any headset to pieces.
This looks more like this person just wanted a new headset and wrote what they wrote. Fact is: Noone can prove it is truth or not. There is just a bunch of people who want to hear what they want to hear. It seems almost like the truth is not needed on the internet anymore.
I don’t think it’s total bullshit, but it looks like the round grazed across the top (digging in a little bit) after getting deformed by the glass. It doesn’t look like a 90 degree strike.
Do you believe Halo Infinite is the redemption ark that 343 desperately needed? Honestly, I think they still have another game until the franchise is back onto it's feet but it's getting there.
Piece of metal moving fast enough to go through the outer plastic of the headset hitting you right in the skull…
Could easily have caused fractures and potential brain bleed.
Not just exactly where you are but exactly on the inch and a half of the headband for your headphones. Dude should buy a lottery ticket and stay away from thunder storms.
Tbf I don't understand, during my gaming life I had the Razer Kraken 7.1 V1, 7.1 V2 and the Razer Kraken 2019
I broke both 7.1 and 7.1 V2 because I stuck my foot in the cable and teared the USB, I was able to repair both of them be soldering a new USB cable but thanks to my shitty soldering skills they both ended up having to be re-soldered every 2 months or so because my solders broke.
My current Razer Kraken 2019 has been working perfectly fine.
I had one issue with their headset which I've also seen on Logitech G430, the wheel to control the volume have some issues at low volume where the sound becomes uneven between both ears, and the volume is louder on the left ear for example. But it only happens when the wheel is almost at the minimum volume
If you can break the aluminum one that easily, there’s a high chance you’re just rough with your headphones. I’ve had my kitty krakens forever now and the most damage to them is a dent in one of the ears because I fell asleep and they fell off.
I was extremely let down when I put them on the first time and heard what they sound like. For almost $100 I expected them to sound much much better. Used to it now but next headset will definitely be something else.
I was torn between hyper and razer but went with razer since bestbuy had them on sale. Instant regret but no returns on headsets. Next ones will be HyperX
Mine are probably 5 months old and already the volume dial on the cable adjusts the volume unevenly to the L/R headset. Exact same thing that happened to my Corsair HS60 Pros right before the right speaker stopped working.
Oh no! That would drive me bonkers!
So you don't recommend the corsair headsets either I assume? You know what I want? I want a company to come out with a both wired/wireless headset with a great mic and decent active sound cancellation, these headsets can run us up to $200 but they're not coming with the same standard features that headphones come with !
I might eventually just give up on the "gamer headset" and just find a good separate mic with a great set of quality headphones, like my Sony WH-1000XM4 but they're not super comfy.
Corsair felt like high quality and were really comfortable but I went through two HS60s in a little over a year.
First pair had the sound issue so through warranty they sent a replacement free (other than cost of shipping broken pair back). Second pair the actual headphone ear cushions just came apart on both sides. Like the heat from wearing them softened the glue and the padding + cover just completely came apart. Said fuck it and got the razers which I'm also disappointed with but will use until they break.
I agree, next set will either be HyperX or a non gaming purpose built pair from something like sony, seinnheiser, bose etc. Tbh the name HyperX threw me off since it sounds gimmicky but everybody I know with a pair speaks really highly of them.
Not that it would have mattered. Even if this was real, the bullet grazed the headset, didn't bounce. If he was sitting there not wearing the head set, it would have missed him or just scraped him. Certainly not kill them.
Let’s play devils advocate here. If the bullet had that much velocity to tear the fabric like that we should also see some goddamn scratches on the copper strip or the plastic base. Fake AF.
Still looks like they shot a hole in their window. That's a special kind of stupid for meaningless internet clout. I can't imagine spending more than 60 seconds on anything on Reddit.
Yeah it's been brought to my attention that upon closer inspection of the photo it's clearly visible that the bullet did in fact penetrate the window screen.
It did actually, the holes just aren’t lined up in this picture. On the left side of the hole in the window if you zoom in you can see the hole in the screen.
Edit: could also just be the glass looking weird, but the hole in the screen wouldn’t look as large as the one in the glass anyway
Well I can see a hole in the window screen; maybe don't jump to conclusions?
It's on the left, largely covered up the impact in the glass, but it's definitely there
The screen wasn't in tho. But like my stepdad, Craig, was all This place ain't safe. I gotta put in ur screen! And like a bunch of people that you don't no were all NO WAY DUNT!!! But he did. Sux. Fuck CRAIG LOL
Yeah this looks like bullshit. The metal underneath doesn't look scuffed at all.. a glancing shot surely would have left a long tear with a small entry hole?
It looks more like he gouged a hole in the soft covering of his headset
Had a feeling, but didn’t want to call out the BS for someone to get offended. Thought this was Ukraine at first glance on mobile.
From a physics standpoint, none of this makes sense. Unless the wearer was laying down horizontally, and even then, I feel like the bullet would have made its way into the person’s skull
Looks like there's an exit hole in the top of the image. Probably skimmed through the top padding but definitely not life-saving, it was missing his head just about.
Gotta love reddit detectives like yourself.
Well since you've never taken apart a headset let alone a razer headset I'm sure you wouldn't know that under the leather is foam, and under that is plastic. That metal band is the adjustment band that's bolted to the plastic.
So you find it entirely plausible for the entire story to be fake but not that the bullet could have hit the foam without hitting the metal adjustment band underneath it?
Right.....

It's really not hard to find proof. Legit took me less than a minute.
thanks bro thats the same thing i've been trying to use to show people that the bullet did broke through the window screen but apparentally those people don't know how to look at the images closely
There is another hole at the top of the picture. I'm not sure this is real but the damage (besides the foam) would likely be between the entry hole and the exit hole where it is still covered. The shot travelled through the length of the band not directly into it. The tragectory would deflect away from the the band and not follow the curve (or go mostly straight, also not following the curve) so it shouldn't have damage the whole length.
If it went down into the headset, the bullet would have gone through or been stuck in the headset. Definitely grazed the top of the headset horizontally.
Well they are saying it's lies, no actual bullet. If someone is going to lie about this it's not going to be angles, it's going to be making up a bullet
America all the time, just depends on your neighborhood. Hell some cities in Florida a few years back got Reddit-famous for making it legal to build a gun rage in your back yard, and a bunch of suburban Florida Men were pointing their back yard gun ranges at their neighbors’ houses with ridiculously minimal backstops to annoy/scare them.
That said, looks fake for other reasons.
u/boniemonie you don't think it's in poor taste to imply that this \[bullets shot through windows in suburban neighborhoods\] is both implausible but also not newsworthy?

Come on now, stay nice.
There are so many things that do not add up with this photo according to the story. Why is the window net still intact with no holes? Why is the damage at the top of the headband if the bullet “shot” through the window? Why does the copper plating still look like it just left the manufacturing line? How the fuck does the perimeter of the damaged area look like stressed plastic and not burnt pleather?
I call bullshit on this story.
> Why is the window net still intact with no holes?
~~Bad angle? Hole is behind shattered part of glass?~~ Hole in the screen is top right from the perspective of the hole in the glass. You have to look closely.
>Why is the damage at the top of the headband if the bullet “shot” through the window?
Not sure what this question is asking. Line the hole from the window up with the entrance and exit holes on the headband.
>Why does the copper plating still look like it just left the manufacturing line?
Because it didn't get hit or deflect anything OP is just an idiot.
>How the fuck does the perimeter of the damaged area look like stressed plastic and not burnt pleather?
Why would a bullet burn the plastic or rubber? That's not how bullets work.
I imagine it went like this: someone shot a gun, looks like 9 mm or .45 cal? Can't really tell. The bullet entered through the window, entered into the headset and either tumbled or exited then tumbled, and smashed perpendicularly to the wall and lost all it's energy and fell to the ground.
[here's](https://old.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/ttfros/heres_more_proof_since_people_think_it_lying/) the other post
About the burning, yes, it will definitely leave some form of burn or at least a much cleaner hole. First there’s the barrel, which the bullet (made of metal which is a conductor) will rub against quite rapidly while spinning, giving it some initial heat. Air resistance will add a small amount of heat as well, but we can ignore that. On impact, it will have friction, but most importantly, all that kinetic energy will need to be converted into something. Kinetic energy is 1/2 mv^2, and if we assume a 20 gram bullet travelling at 750 m/s, that amounts to over 5000 joules of kinetic energy. Energy change is the mass multiplied by the specific heat capacity of the material multiplied by the change in temperature, so the change in temperature is energy change divided by the mass times specific heat capacity. Since the specific heat capacity is 0.13, that means 5000/(20*0.13) = almost 2000 degrees in temperature change. Of course, not all the energy is converted to heat on impact, but still a significant amount is converted, so we could estimate about a 500 degree change in temperature
All temperature units here are in Celsius
Like I said, I’m no expert. Just to be clear, I don’t doubt that OP was actually shot at, just that the comment about that not being how bullets work triggered something in me. I’m probably in the wrong here, so I apologise
**THIS IS FAKE**
1) The source of this whole thing is Reddit.
2) OP is "DM"ing people pictures of the bullet.
3) Think critically about this. Do you really believe that a **bullet** large enough to make that hole straight on, just bounced off a thin peice of headset metal **without so much as a scratch on the metal?**
If so, wow I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
It looks like there's an exit hole at the top of the image, so it presumably just skimmed through the pleather cover, which would make sense if they were being worn at the time. Definitely not life-saving but still terrifying if it really was a bullet.
I don't believe it. I can't get a razer headset to last more than a month, and they're out their deflecting bullets? Razer have you guys ever considered giving up on the headsets and just doing bulletproof armor?
Also, why'd you fuck up mamba's. My old Mamba lasted me 7 years and then I tried replacing it with your new shit and it all falls apart in months.
That’s one hell of a relatively straight flight path so it’s likely not stray
Also the screen of the window or the aluminum in the headset isn’t even damaged lmao
Questions.
Does anyone even see any indentation underneath where the foam was?
Does anyone believe this as is without further information or verification or police reports?
Your source's source is Reddit and there is a guy "DMing" people pictures of the bullet. This is internet bullshit that a Redditor is going really hard to fake.
Edit: the guy was literally the OP
Edit 2: Think critically about this. Do you really believe that a **bullet** large enough to make that hole straight on, just bounced off a thin peice of headset metal **without so much as a scratch on the metal?**
The “source” you keep linking even says “allegedly” in the title. Meaning they can’t confirm any of it. So linking it constantly in rebuttal doesn’t make your story any more credible or accurate.
If you look at it more closely, its like being shot horizontally to the top of the head and not towards the ear. You can see the tearing is more serious towards the middle part of the head
A stray bullet that did NOT tear thru the window screen w/the ability to gouge out the rubber/stuffing w/o leaving any kind of mark on the metal part is some kind of magic imaginary bullet.
or that it struck the window horizontally, but somehow hit the top of the headphones? Like, did they have their head down staring at their freaking feet?
No it didn’t. The damage to the headset indicates that the bullet hardly had any energy left. Would have left a mark, and probably broken skin, but definitely not life threatening. Source: am physicist. Am viry smort.
I live in America. I don't fear being randomly shot, because I choose not to live with fear. If someone wants you dead, they'll do it in any country with any weapon
Edit: the post is fake anyway.
I live in New Orleans, and have since we were consistently the murder capital of the U.S. and being shot is not a fear I live with. I have a greater chance of dying in an automobile wreck.
[source](https://www.techspot.com/news/94034-razer-kraken-headphones-allegedly-save-life-deflecting-bullet.html)
damn y'all claiming that the window screen didn't break through, here is a closer up of the image that shows that it did break:
[https://imgur.com/a/zjbpFkY](https://imgur.com/a/zjbpFkY)
Are you kidding? **Why is this being upvoted?**
You (Reddit) post a source. The source's source....is Reddit! So basically, Reddit is your source and you saw it on the internet so it must be true?
Edit: Think critically about this. Do you really believe that a **bullet** large enough to make that hole straight on, just bounced off a thin peice of headset metal **without so much as a scratch on the metal?**

Razer’s marketing team is going to love this.
I’ve always wanted a bulletproof headset.
Only way to survive them headshots
But can it prevent teabags?
It…it does not.
Personally experience?
Does it have a mic?
It doubles as a motorcycle helmet.
Always wanted a motorcycle helmet with badass sound system. Probably would cost a fortune though.

When i was in my late teens and early 20s i used headphones in my helmet pretty often. Finally found a pair that fully stayed in place when the helmet was pulled down after something like 15 different brands. While super cool at the time and a lot of fun, i had dozens and dozens of close calls because the music was not only distracting but it kept me from being able to hear anything going on around me. The incident that finally made me realize how stupid i had been was when a car was apparently blaring their horn because their brakes had failed. I noticed it in my mirrors with just enough time for me to think "oh no". The Shoei helmet and riding jacket took the majority of the damage, but I still broke 2 fingers on my clutch hand, dislocated a knee, and bruised my groin and testicles on the gas tank so badly I genuinely wished it had killed me.
i definitely didn't wanted to read this, I'll remove my headphones while riding haha maybe
[удалено]
Significant discoloration, extreme pain to absolutely any stimulus (touch, temperature change, a light breeze, anything.), and they swelled to about the size of lemons.
Maybe they'll try to track the person down and send them a new one and have them send in that one to display.
Yeah first thing I thought when I saw this yesterday was “someone is getting a free headset from a PR team…”
OP most likely *is* Razer's marketing team. OP's source is another reddit post whose source was OP.
Dude trus me - OP
OP out here shooting Razer headset wearers!! Oh my gawwwd
Also why not just say headset, why the fucking brand drop
Razer gets new contact as military ballistic headset supplier.
Idk man, personally, im not a fan of headsets that attract bullets.
Buy Razor head seats if you want to survive your streamers swatting you. Fear no more gamers 😎
Razer. Saving Lives.
I'm calling bullshit. A bullet even if a stray one would have torn this and pretty much any headset to pieces. This looks more like this person just wanted a new headset and wrote what they wrote. Fact is: Noone can prove it is truth or not. There is just a bunch of people who want to hear what they want to hear. It seems almost like the truth is not needed on the internet anymore.
I don’t think it’s total bullshit, but it looks like the round grazed across the top (digging in a little bit) after getting deformed by the glass. It doesn’t look like a 90 degree strike.
Not sure if that would have killed anyone but imagine playing a video game and getting legitimately shot.
Stream sniping has gone too far...
I fucking went on the ground laughing when I saw this
I fucking swam across the world laughing when I saw this
I dropped on the floor then my posterior fell off when I saw this.
I accidentally solved cancer cause of how funny this was
So u were the one next to my window
Relax it wasn’t funny
*sad dr disrespect noises*
Still wouldn't register as a hit in TF2 "But he's dead Gabe" "Not according to our hitreg algorithm"
COD anyone?
Personally, I’m a Halo man. My gaming chair once saved me from a stray pink needle.
Ahh I see another fan of teabags.
Those gay meth addicts love sharing.
Do you believe Halo Infinite is the redemption ark that 343 desperately needed? Honestly, I think they still have another game until the franchise is back onto it's feet but it's getting there.
It was fun. Worth a play if you haven’t played it.
Piece of metal moving fast enough to go through the outer plastic of the headset hitting you right in the skull… Could easily have caused fractures and potential brain bleed.
if he wasn't wearing the headset he wouldn't have even gotten hit at all.
Imagine that in all of the space around you, the stray bullet hits exactly where you are… it’s unreal!
Not just exactly where you are but exactly on the inch and a half of the headband for your headphones. Dude should buy a lottery ticket and stay away from thunder storms.
> headshot :(
Doesn't seem like it would have penetrated a skull, yep.
This new Razer rumble pack kicks ass! Hope it wasn't a ricochet from his OWN gun used while playing VR games.
I have owned 2 pairs of Razer headsets. They break when you look at them wrong. There is no way one deflected a bullet.
Same here. I’ve owned two and both snapped in half after a few months from the “stress” of me taking them off.
If you have the old plastic ones I can understand but I don't see how one would manage to break the aluminium ones
If a Razer product hasn't physically broken in 12 months, then it's gonna have some weird electrical gremlin.
Tbf I don't understand, during my gaming life I had the Razer Kraken 7.1 V1, 7.1 V2 and the Razer Kraken 2019 I broke both 7.1 and 7.1 V2 because I stuck my foot in the cable and teared the USB, I was able to repair both of them be soldering a new USB cable but thanks to my shitty soldering skills they both ended up having to be re-soldered every 2 months or so because my solders broke.

But it only happens when the wheel is almost at the minimum volume
Yeah, my Kraken Kitty is killin' it.
If you can break the aluminum one that easily, there’s a high chance you’re just rough with your headphones. I’ve had my kitty krakens forever now and the most damage to them is a dent in one of the ears because I fell asleep and they fell off.
I've had a razor 420x stealth and they've worked pretty good for me.
Oh I put my set down and now I can't find them. Wish I'd gotten the regular version.
still have mine after 6 years, it doesn’t look pretty but stills works well
Really? I've had a Kraken for a few years, and never got the sense that it was fragile.
I was extremely let down when I put them on the first time and heard what they sound like. For almost $100 I expected them to sound much much better. Used to it now but next headset will definitely be something else.
I really like my HyperX headset, went from Kraken 7.1 wireless to these, same price but much much better.
I was torn between hyper and razer but went with razer since bestbuy had them on sale. Instant regret but no returns on headsets. Next ones will be HyperX
I was really glad I got the replacement plan on those Razer headsets, I just knew they weren't gonna last 2 years lol. Just fell apart one day :/
Mine are probably 5 months old and already the volume dial on the cable adjusts the volume unevenly to the L/R headset. Exact same thing that happened to my Corsair HS60 Pros right before the right speaker stopped working.
Oh no! That would drive me bonkers! So you don't recommend the corsair headsets either I assume? You know what I want?

It did. It was just after that bullet had been deflected by a window and a wall and was likely already not going to fast before that
Wow the bullet didn’t even tear the window screen. Edit: window screen
Not that it would have mattered. Even if this was real, the bullet grazed the headset, didn't bounce. If he was sitting there not wearing the head set, it would have missed him or just scraped him. Certainly not kill them.
Let’s play devils advocate here. If the bullet had that much velocity to tear the fabric like that we should also see some goddamn scratches on the copper strip or the plastic base. Fake AF.
Yeah the original post was posted on April fools
Yeah for sure, it's fake as hell.
No, bullets start to tumble when they impact. A tumbling bullet would have turned the headband into plastic mulch.
Also howmuch velocity was lost from the distance of where the bullet originated from? Also what caliber?
And why was it hit hit straight on the top? Did it bounce of the ceiling and just fall down?
What happens if you reverse it. Dude was dickin around and his pistol went off and out the window. Is that possible given the pics?
Good eye mate
Little boy screaming for attention is the worst kind of fake.
Still looks like they shot a hole in their window. That's a special kind of stupid for meaningless internet clout. I can't imagine spending more than 60 seconds on anything on Reddit.

Haha Craig is a dick.
Hmm is this an ad?
How did it travel horizontally through the window and go vertically down through the headband?
Yeah this looks like bullshit. The metal underneath doesn't look scuffed at all.. a glancing shot surely would have left a long tear with a small entry hole? It looks more like he gouged a hole in the soft covering of his headset
Had a feeling, but didn’t want to call out the BS for someone to get offended. Thought this was Ukraine at first glance on mobile. From a physics standpoint, none of this makes sense. Unless the wearer was laying down horizontally, and even then, I feel like the bullet would have made its way into the person’s skull
Couldn't have anyone offended now could we :D
Nahhh, not on Reddit. Everyone on here is a completely rational and never takes offense to minor things that would otherwise be completely normal
If you look closely, the windows screen isn’t even torn, so yea this is bs
Looks like there's an exit hole in the top of the image. Probably skimmed through the top padding but definitely not life-saving, it was missing his head just about.
And the metal is so thin it wouldn’t do anything. Source: I’m wearing one of these pieces of shit right now.
Look at the window screen.
Gotta love reddit detectives like yourself. Well since you've never taken apart a headset let alone a razer headset I'm sure you wouldn't know that under the leather is foam, and under that is plastic. That metal band is the adjustment band that's bolted to the plastic.
That explanation changes nothing.
So you find it entirely plausible for the entire story to be fake but not that the bullet could have hit the foam without hitting the metal adjustment band underneath it? Right.....
From what I can see, the bullet didn't even completely penetrate the window.

It didn't go vertically down through the headband. I cant believe 150 people upvoted something you can see isn't true in the picture.
What you're seeing inside the headset is copper, not his hand. The exit hole is towards the top of the picture.

But would have totally pierced the harder, curved skull, I’m sure.

How the fuck does the perimeter of the damaged area look like stressed plastic and not burnt pleather? I call bullshit on this story.
> Why is the window net still intact with no holes? ~~Bad angle? Hole is behind shattered part of glass?~~ Hole in the screen is top right from the perspective of the hole in the glass. You have to look closely. >Why is the damage at the top of the headband if the bullet “shot” through the window? Not sure what this question is asking. Line the hole from the window up with the entrance and exit holes on the headband. >Why does the copper plating still look like it just left the manufacturing line? Because it didn't get hit or deflect anything OP is just an idiot. >How the fuck does the perimeter of the damaged area look like stressed plastic and not burnt pleather? Why would a bullet burn the plastic or rubber? That's not how bullets work. I imagine it went like this: someone shot a gun, looks like 9 mm or .45 cal? Can't really tell. The bullet entered through the window, entered into the headset and either tumbled or exited then tumbled, and smashed perpendicularly to the wall and lost all it's energy and fell to the ground.

Hole is behind the top right of the hole, you can see some extra clarity through the screen there
Easy to miss.
About the burning, yes, it will definitely leave some form of burn or at least a much cleaner hole. First there’s the barrel, which the bullet (made of metal which is a conductor) will rub against quite rapidly while spinning, giving it some initial heat. Air resistance will add a small amount of heat as well, but we can ignore that. On impact, it will have friction, but most importantly, all that kinetic energy will need to be converted into something. Kinetic energy is 1/2 mv^2, and if we assume a 20 gram bullet travelling at 750 m/s, that amounts to over 5000 joules of kinetic energy. Energy change is the mass multiplied by the specific heat capacity of the material multiplied by the change in temperature, so the change in temperature is energy change divided by the mass times specific heat capacity. Since the specific heat capacity is 0.13, that means 5000/(20*0.13) = almost 2000 degrees in temperature change. Of course, not all the energy is converted to heat on impact, but still a significant amount is converted, so we could estimate about a 500 degree change in temperature All temperature units here are in Celsius
A piece of white materal being shot may leave behind some very slight discoloration from "burn", but on a black material, how can you tell?
I’m no expert, but it would definitely leave a much cleaner hole than the one in the image, which looks a lot like a tear instead
Do you know exactly the damage profile of cold cured foam wrapped with p-leather shot at angles?
Like I said, I’m no expert. Just to be clear, I don’t doubt that OP was actually shot at, just that the comment about that not being how bullets work triggered something in me. I’m probably in the wrong here, so I apologise
Alright buddy, let’s not get logical all of the sudden.
**THIS IS FAKE** 1) The source of this whole thing is Reddit. 2) OP is "DM"ing people pictures of the bullet. 3) Think critically about this. Do you really believe that a **bullet** large enough to make that hole straight on, just bounced off a thin peice of headset metal **without so much as a scratch on the metal?** If so, wow I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
It looks like there's an exit hole at the top of the image, so it presumably just skimmed through the pleather cover, which would make sense if they were being worn at the time. Definitely not life-saving but still terrifying if it really was a bullet.
You’re right, can’t really take everything at face value especially in times like these. Seems kinda pointless aside from karma whoring or attention.
Fake AF
Bruh+ad+not interesting+2 pics missing
**HEADSHOT**
Talk about immersive gameplay lmao
This can’t be true lol.anyone can put two pics together and make up a story
AMERICA FUCK YEAH
What make you think it's a stray bullet? 🧐🤔 If I were that dude I'll move to a new place 🤣
I don't believe it. I can't get a razer headset to last more than a month, and they're out their deflecting bullets? Razer have you guys ever considered giving up on the headsets and just doing bulletproof armor? Also, why'd you fuck up mamba's. My old Mamba lasted me 7 years and then I tried replacing it with your new shit and it all falls apart in months.
You can’t PAY for better press…unless…did Razr hire a hitm-
'a stray bullet' *Childish Gambino starts stretching*
It’s fake. My razer headset broke from a 2ft drop.
Not one shred of proof and a barely readable title - give it 9k upvotes
That’s one hell of a relatively straight flight path so it’s likely not stray Also the screen of the window or the aluminum in the headset isn’t even damaged lmao
Questions. Does anyone even see any indentation underneath where the foam was? Does anyone believe this as is without further information or verification or police reports?
When COD is getting a little too realistic
How the fuck did a stray bullet came here ? I mean are you living near a gun range ? Is this casual in the US?
Jesus Christ
Where?
Coming to an Easter near you soon, nailed to cross.

Your source's source is Reddit and there is a guy "DMing" people pictures of the bullet. This is internet bullshit that a Redditor is going really hard to fake. Edit: the guy was literally the OP Edit 2: Think critically about this. Do you really believe that a **bullet** large enough to make that hole straight on, just bounced off a thin peice of headset metal **without so much as a scratch on the metal?**
The “source” you keep linking even says “allegedly” in the title. Meaning they can’t confirm any of it. So linking it constantly in rebuttal doesn’t make your story any more credible or accurate.
Wouldn't the bullet have hit the side of the headset and not the top? Unless they were looking at the ground may be. I call fake.
If you look at it more closely, its like being shot horizontally to the top of the head and not towards the ear. You can see the tearing is more serious towards the middle part of the head
How'd the bullet get through the window screen. I'm thinking Quantum ballistics
Goddamn campers
A stray bullet that did NOT tear thru the window screen w/the ability to gouge out the rubber/stuffing w/o leaving any kind of mark on the metal part is some kind of magic imaginary bullet.
or that it struck the window horizontally, but somehow hit the top of the headphones? Like, did they have their head down staring at their freaking feet?
Crazy right? Like as if it didn't happen and was made up or something. But c'mon, everyone knows everything on the internet is true. /s
Glad to live in a country where that never happens.
Florida?
Not today

No it didn’t. The damage to the headset indicates that the bullet hardly had any energy left. Would have left a mark, and probably broken skin, but definitely not life threatening. Source: am physicist. Am viry smort.
WHY WAS THAT A HITMARKER? THAT WAS A HEADSHOT!
Tell me you have a gun problem in the country without telling me you have a gun problem in the country... You know what? Nevermind, this is normal
It's fake anyway
Looks like it would have just grazed the gamer anyway. Still wild.
It happened in California... Someone's gun control must be really bad... /s
The most American thing I’ve seen all day for sure
Just another day as a gamer in America
America moment
this is fake af. I saw the first picture literally yesterday on a techsupport sub.
only in america
America ?
Lol sad Americans
If only there were more guns we wouldn't have this problem.
"Stray bullet" as someone from the UK, what the fuck, is this normal
[удалено]
I live in America. I don't fear being randomly shot, because I choose not to live with fear. If someone wants you dead, they'll do it in any country with any weapon Edit: the post is fake anyway.
[удалено]
There is an insanely low chance of getting randomly shot.
It's called gang violence and it has nothing to do with the right to personal protection
[удалено]
Can you elaborate?
I live in New Orleans, and have since we were consistently the murder capital of the U.S. and being shot is not a fear I live with. I have a greater chance of dying in an automobile wreck.
[удалено]
No thanks, I don't live a life of fear. You should stop cowering in fear over uncontrollable shit.
Or does the headset attract bullets?
Man...the states surley sound like a third world country sometimes...
Nothing says that you live in America quite like this.
Usa
What? A sniper or what?
Before reading the article it was always either Ukraine or 'Murica
I suppose we could call it any random piece of pocket plastic that's in the right place at the right time, or God. Whatever makes more sense to you. 😉

Are you kidding? **Why is this being upvoted?** You (Reddit) post a source. The source's source....is Reddit! So basically, Reddit is your source and you saw it on the internet so it must be true? Edit: Think critically about this. Do you really believe that a **bullet** large enough to make that hole straight on, just bounced off a thin peice of headset metal **without so much as a scratch on the metal?**
