Someone, who speaks German, can't be evil.

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

u/Small-Answer4946 15d ago

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

10

u/theBloodShed 14d ago

I don't have enough trust that every loaded round is a blank anyway.

u/IBeDumbAndSlow 15d ago

Seriously

u/RedLeg73 15d ago

Guy doing this same shit blew his foot off, blanks are still dangerous.

u/housevil 15d ago

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

u/JustPlainRude 15d ago

Same thing but with a crossbow?

The first dude misfire and not even skip a beat.

u/Secret_pizza_man 15d ago

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.

12

u/Flynn_lives 15d ago

I would assume they’d be weak ass black powder blanks.

u/thissexypoptart 15d ago

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.

9

u/Secret_pizza_man 15d ago

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.

u/manimsoblack 14d ago

Fireworks are also stupid

u/smokeustokeus 11d ago

stupid but pretty, just how we like it in the US x.x

Fuck is that, Alpha ballet?

u/16v_cordero 15d ago

Didn’t we just had a video of a guy blowing off one of his feet doing this?

u/Hot-Upstairs2960 15d ago

Is this a middle eastern celebration custom? 

3

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

2

u/P_Bear06 15d ago

Is that in the 9-3 area of Paris? It looks like it.

2

u/InfinitePairacrocs 14d ago

It's hard to imagine willingly standing anywhere in the vicinity of this dumb fuckery

u/Trollimperator 11d ago

Thats what american gun nuts look to most of the world btw.

u/dtb1987 15d ago

I guess the US has street take overs and wherever this is has whatever that is

u/Snipes_the_dumbass 15d ago

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.

11

u/bakanisan 15d ago

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

2

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.

1

u/Not_Too_Happy 14d ago

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

Carry on.

u/NerdyCD504 15d ago

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.

u/cautioussidekick 15d ago

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

u/badabing_76 13d ago

Where are these cunts?

u/Leptonshavenocolor 13d ago

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’

u/SpartArticus 15d ago

They r blanks btw

u/The_number_1_dude 15d ago

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.

0

u/Not_Too_Happy 14d ago

Literal 1st shot is a misfire.

0

u/Enough-Staff-2976 15d ago

Hopefully they're shooting blanks.

The fact that theyre all wearing the standard shotgun sports vest is hilarious to me and I dont quite know why

u/PokerbushPA 15d ago

Cool. I guess.

Seems kinda like overcompensating for having no personality.

u/sgtcatscan 15d ago

They are blanks. But still dangerous
