This is the exact type of person that should never be allowed near a weapon.

Wow I can't believe how much this didn't happen!
islander311
That a... I mean it sounds awesome. Pretty fucking unsafe but awesome. Maybe refrain from setting forest animals on fire please?
KiltedinSeattle
...as the prophesy foretold.
Terminology
Out of all the things that didn't happen, this one seriously didn't happen the most. Come on people. This one's obvious as fuck.
TommyDogpants
As a gun owner this level of irresponsibility with making garage loads and shooting at each things concerns the shit out of me
condor120
Don’t shoot things at aircraft.
The8obman
Firing at helicopters? Sounds like a peach.

For real question. Wouldn't most of these loads ABSOLUTELY DESTROY your barrel?
Totallybadassusername
This is exactly like that episode of Simpsons, where Homer buys a gun, and use it for everything. Can opener. Tv remote. Lightswitch.
CrazyKittenEveOnline
putting confetti into a shotgut shell is one of the worst ideas i've heard. guns are not toys. do not treat them as toys.also, poor squirrel
nasreal
Was all team dad till if said, "took a potshot at a helicopter tour". That's fucking stupid and dangerous.
Sandwichael
well its his right as an american to own guns.
RayMar1
Yeah better take the guns away so people cant hurt themselves and others.Probably should take away cars and knives too just to be extra safe
protostar777
It's not his right to shoot at a helicopter
MigraMines
The thing that really concerns me is the confetti. Sounds like a cool idea till someone switches the confetti out for a real shell
TheHaloFollower
Could you imagine some enlisted shits doing this, then deploying and just to fuck with the enemy, Pvt. Jimmy fires a confetti shell at em?
brushaka
Or you get hit by the wad, I've had wads get stuck in tree trunks
HowToBeSuccessfulAsaSerialKiller
Shhhhhh.... Don't spoil it.
Jburli24
A sane person would never fire any modified shells, no matter how 'safe', directly at someone.
cosonfused
i think it's established that he is not
That0neSummoner
You mean, like a tennis ball?
Arteryn
Was mounted on a muzzle-device using blank-fire shotgun shells (Think WWII grenade launchers). Those don't have anything but powder in them.
DrKriegersClone
I'm pretty sure taking potshots at a helicopter with road flares indicates we're not talking about a sane person though...
jmacf
Or even the fucking flare at a heli tour... that HAS to be illegal
Kilsim1v
I'm sure the confetti was shot above heads. No sane, responsible shooter would actually shoot at someone. Rule #1 of gun safety.
GaetanBamphous
This guy doesn't sound sane
Kilsim1v
Quirky, inventive, dangerous, sure ... but sane? Who knows haha yeah he prolly crazy AF
KryoKurse
I can't imagine continuing to fuel anyone's love for guns after they tried to shoot me with a tennis ball.

Responsible gun owners know to never point a loaded weapon at someone, even if you rigged it to fire a tennis ball or confetti.Pisses me off
LurkerBee
Yah, this story is a clusterfuck. The squirrel thing is not only cruel, it puts everyone at risk of a forest fire.
TheActualMalloryArcher
Its a made up story anyway
likuidlightning
What about that story says "responsible gun owner"?
wanderingsibyl
While absolutely hilarious and awesome this is one of the reasons liberals don’t like guns. I’m pro-2nd, stories like these don’t help us.
KuldFyt
Liberal here- wrong to say I don't like guns... but spot on to say this is why I want some gun control. Never had them growing up but both1/
KuldFyt
/2my mother and grandfather insisted on taking me out to learn to shoot a bit for safety. Respect for weapon safety should not be optional.
getmo
While I do agree, consider this:
KuldFyt
... you got me there.
GradiustheFox
Liberal leaner here: I don't give a shit if you load a shotgun with confetti, just stop killing children and you can have all the guns.
HiTiMiTe
lol, i guarantee that nearly every gun owner has never killed a child, let alone a person.
GradiustheFox
I was talking to all of them at the same time, some of which have. "Nearly every" is not good enough.
SavageDrums
"Nearly" is sorta the problem, though.
HiTiMiTe
So you want to take rights away from responsible gun owners because a small percentage of people with guns have done bad stuff.
M98E
Fun and games until he launched a flare at a helicopter, fired at his son (with a tennis ball), and made confetti for "surprises". Ugh.
M98E
That said, I'd wager that this does not belong in /r/StuffThatHappened
wanderingsibyl
Seriously. Shooting confetti from a shotgun AT a person is unforgivable. Don’t point a gun at someone you’re not ready to kill. Accidents 1:
wanderingsibyl
happen all the time. Even with highly experienced gun owners. 2/2
M98E
For sure. Even if it's "just" confetti, you've still got the plug flying at your friend at (maybe) 600FPS. That can kill or injure.
M98E
Even if one could account for the plug, pointing a weapon at someone is rather irresponsible.
BorkLocutus
Tfw you shot a squirl with Dragonbreath shell and accidentally set the forest on fire.
Worldf1re
/k/ A magical place
OliverUgala
It might counter the other fire he caused with the randomly fired flare, though...
LlamaLingo
Animal abuse, so much fun (not).

Yes

Gun that, when out of ammo, can be thrown as a grenade.
jamesjjw
Gun that when thrown flys off and continues to shoot at nearest target
StonerCatJay
Gun that shoots sword which then EXPLODE into 3 more swords which then EXPLODE into EXPLOSIONS
CyriousLordofDerp
Casual SWORDSPLOSION!! gives +2 to the initial projectile count, so it shoots 3 swords.

then you need to watch The Expanse! But be warned, you will probably need a third pair of pants and 2-3 packets of tissues
GyroPunk
Is it on Netflix?
Guitardrumr
Amazon Prime for the fist 2 seasons, season 3 available to purchase (might still be running).
Krzd
Yes - first 2 seasons, season 3 is still in the works (I think)
Guitardrumr
Check out The Expanse, pretty good attention to physics there, too.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Season 3 is here!

I actually just found out the series was on Amazon, I just got into season 2. Amazing series so far.

I have literally only ever seen one gun in my life that was not attached to a policeman.

That is a sad life. Join us. Come to the dark side, we have shenanigans
thesnood
Nah I’m good thanks
SenatorFrankUnderwear
Yeah, I immediately wondered if it's legal to do any of this.
CryMoreDieMore
As a brit, thus just made me want to go get a shotgun license and try it myself. Contrary to popular belief, guns still exist in the uk
Jayfourke
Mildly concerned, but I would also like to shoot things. Maybe next time I'm in MERICA.
GyroPunk
I am a UK person, I also have guns, there are a lot more of us than you'd think
Jayfourke
Damn shotgun-toting farmers!
getmo
Dozens!
SirDoober
Yeah, back in the UK I had a shotgun license at 18 years old. The main requirement is 'sit down with police and show you aren't a lunatic'
GyroPunk
Plus we get some pretty cool guns at pretty reasonable prices. Gotta love how many good quality Enfields we have
getmo
But wouldn't your guns feel more safer in America, where they belong? Especially dem Enfields, Mmm...
LordRawrsomeness
I wish guns were legal here D:

you realize the squirrel part was a joke, right? and what about all this, the serious parts, is actually a problem?

Funny thing is, it doesn't at all say it was in the US...

Yeah, even in the USA this guy counts as a fucking lunatic. Especially if he hunting with something like dragons breath rounds. 10 bucks
Dagordae
Says that falls under animal cruelty laws. Because that’s just sadistic.
Dagordae
Also the taking a shot at a helicopter. That’s a serious felony right there. And shooting at your children. Even if nobody gets hurt that’s

A reckless endangerment charge. This is the kind of person who wins a Darwin Award and everyone cheers.

I can assure you that many Americans treat guns as toys. A very dangerous cultural problem.

I'm not sure why this is downvoted so much. You guys do have a lot of gun fatalities a year and he did say 'many Americans' not most or all
