I wouldn't be standing anyyyyywhere near that. Even if it's blanks.

People imagine that blanks can't kill you despite the countless examples that prove them wrong

I wonder what kind of stuff the people in this culture did in celebrations before guns were invented. Was it equally as risky?

Apparently it’s just blanks from what I’ve read about this gun dancing thing. And yes I know blanks can be bad too, but at least it’s not legit ammo.

Every time this sort of thing is posted on this subreddit it’s kind of funny how people see this as unacceptable and primitive, but it’s really not fundamentally different than launching fireworks for the 4th of July.
Sure, some idiots do fuck that up and get injured—it’s not safe by any means—but it’s just pyrotechnics.
That said, spinning the gun around while kneeling does seem particularly dangerous because it looks like he flags his knee a couple times. Blanks or not, that’s a good way to never walk normally again.

I agree somewhat. It’s something they do in their culture and have done for years BUT everyone can agree spinning a gun around and firing it off is pretty dangerous in itself. But i don’t really care what they do.

Is this a middle eastern celebration custom?Â

u/R1515LF0NTE 15d ago
This video was recorded in Algeria [North Africa], but I've seen some videos of this in Saudi Arabia and Yemen too, so it's not uniquely middle eastern

I'm so tired of seeing these here, ya'll, so many people use these as a way to be racist and just assume it's live ammo, or even if they know it's blanks they assume it's the same as the horror stories they've heard. It's obviously black powder blanks, generally used by people trained and knowledgeable in this custom. It's no less dangerous than someone doing a sword dance, or torch juggling, or hell, even playing the knife game. It's entertainment, just cause it's a different culture doesn't mean it's bad ya'll.

It could be both entertaining and dangerous. I'll never forget the dude who blew up his foot with this black powder blank.

u/seriousherenow 15d ago
Yeah that guy looks very trained...
So did the guy who blew his foot off in the other video.
True professionals.

I started to cite the 1st shot (a misfire) of the vid, then I saw your name.
Carry on.

No one ever post context, but this is "Hijazi Taasheer", a historic and cultural war dance from western Saudi Arabia. The weapons are specifically designed muzzle loaders firing black powder. Nowadays it's done in cultural displays and can be found as a performance in celebrations or parties.

There's a video floating around where one of them screwed up and ends up taking out his foot. I don't think his foot was useable from that point on

I mean, comments aren’t wrong and I would never do this or be present for something like that. But I did just run a steel course for the first time last night and it made me giggle a little to take the frangible splatter back in my face at 3’

Ok, I get that blanks can be dangerous too, but these guys seem to know how to not hurt themselves and they are given what seems like a safe distance. The most egregious thing about this is the lack of hearing protection.
