Thread: How Fucking stupid are some people

The shop assistant, fat little fucker that he was, went ballistic, and rightly so...the gun owner standing there with his gob open down to his chest mutters "O shit, I wonder how long that has been in there"

Fuck me dead. That is just dumb

True words.

Even the boy goes WTF if he sees someone with a bolt down.

I think it is debatable actually. Having crap in the gun just made it a bomb. If you're out hunting then you probably wont have your cleaning rod on hand, so will you now risk it or do the right thing and go back to the hut to clean it. Also a very dangerous risk IMO.

The only other way is having a half cock system mod but that voids your warranty (with tikkas and sako's at least).

What i reckon is to get everyone's attention, aim in a safe direction, remove the mag, cycle it a couple of times, eyeball the empty chamber and close the bolt, recheck the safe direction bit and dry fire it. In the Infantry that was the process we called 'clearing the weapon'. To be done when you pick up the rifle, if someone hands it to you, if you're crossing an obstacle like a fence etc. But if you're anywhere near people who didnt see you clear the weapon i s'pose its your own obligation to take the mag / bolt off for their sake

At Beretta, people would send us warranty jobs or service issues via the couriers with live ammunition chambered. Some of the shops did it too which really pissed us off - but that's why you ALWAYS clear a rifle the second you pick it up.

The only guy who UD'd in the army (that i saw) took his lesson to heart and went on to become a full sniper who deployed in 2 warzones. Anyone can fuck this up if they are distracted momentarily. He was just lucky that the "aim it in a safe direction bit" habbit meant that when he failed to remove the mag when clearing it that the live shot went into the dirt and not into my face.

Its a generation thing - the emo boys with justin beiber haircuts do that shit too. Its just as bad here though. What do the pretty kiwi girls do? Dunno, they're all on the gold coast trying to become hairdressors. Trust me, kiwis with thick accents sound just as annoying when you live over there. I know because mates in both countries give me shit about my mishmash dialect

This is what I'm talking about. You can clear the fucker twenty times. But if I don't see it how do I know?

Bolt open and I do know. If it gets crap down the barrel you'd be mighty unlucky, especially if you buy a decent rifle with a good half open......

So the basic concensus is that you should not put a loaded gun on the back seat of a car? ha
