All photos taken from https://twitter.com/ericgan98/media he has more photos from the night of and after. He states that someone shot 5 bullets at his house and police are currently looking in to it.
I haven't been able to find this anywhere else so sorry if it has already been posted.
Edit: When i posted this it got -2 points 51 second after posting it. At that point i definitely didn't expect it to be my first post on the fp

Just your luck -- it hit the chip that the NSA was using to spy on you.

I have the exact same monitor. It died after 13 months. Fuck mdi cheap shit.
BanananaNotToScale
The monitor still works, they don’t need a new one.
TardisRiptide
You’re.
LinkOfTheForest
Somebody literally dodged a bullet :D

Buy a lottery ticket!
BeRad117
Yeah but then the next one he'll get will guaranteed have some light bleed or a few pixels out according to Newegg reviews.

Something extremely similar happened with a physical copy of Elder Scrolls /a/pcIWF
Xenarion
I'm guessing the wall absorbed most of the impact, but that's still impressive and lucky for him.
thefrayedendsofsanity
The only thing that could’ve stopped this is a monitor with a gun.
bufmoo
I can't see the bullet hole on the screen. did it come through the wall and didn't go through the monitor or something?
MeisPip
as #5 shows the bullet hit the back but didnt damage the screen. On his twitter you can find a photo of the bullet he pulled out of the back
rmsasquatch360
If that monitor is still functioning i'm using that bitch till it no longer works. Battle tested.
ReheatedTacoBell
What kind of shit person downvoted this? What, are you guys like “fucc u I wish it’d hit u”? Jfc people are shit...
FirePrinceZuzu
What kind of shit person complains about downvotes?
ASMRuVeganYet
I didn't come to imgur to hand out free publicity. It's not like their monitors are really bullet proof, nor that they should be 1/2
ASMRuVeganYet
The company just got lucky that the speed of the bullet was at a point where the monitor could absorb it. If you really think about 2/3
ASMRuVeganYet
It, having a bullet proof monitor could indicate the company being wasteful with their resources since monitors don't often get shot. 3/3
ReheatedTacoBell
While all very good points I’m waiting for the one that’s a valid reason for a downvote...
JHawke
Jumping to conclusions is easy, could be anything from not wanting advertisements even accidental ones like these. To this being a repost (>
JHawke
> don't know if it is, but it's possible... this is imgur after all)
Xenarion
That or they just didn't find it funny or interesting enough.
JHawke
Oh yes, hundreds of reasons. Maybe they just had a MSI laptop, one of the err... virtually all series with a bad fan.
SeventyTimes7
My husband had a bullet from a neighbor cleaning his gun & accidentally discharge pass right by his neck when he was on the phone....Scary
PhloppyPhish1998
I’d use that thing to its full potential, just roll up onto a Discord server and just be like “my monitor has a fucking bullet hole bitch”
Klaumbaz
Tarkov is really good with 11.5

Time for dual monitor.
Solusphere
I hear gunshots are being heavily monitored in that area.

HA! *points finger guns*

I'm about to go shoot my monitor....
UnremarkablyInteresting
"Man, this new battlefield game is so realistic. It actually feels like someone's shooting at me!"
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
A lot of "random shots" pics here lately. That's one reason why I don't travel to the US anymore.
Wilize
Good that you are safe but woot are your wall made of paper
RedDwarfIV
If I had a computer monitor that survived getting shot, I'd keep it.
GhostGrenade
Wait did this guy really post his full address in the original?
BlankhasdiedofDysentery
I think the guy posted the edited screenshots of his own communications on the forum.
OmniOx
What's the worst that could happen? They're already getting shot at!
butlerfetish
I went and looked at his twitter, and he posts it there with the address cut off the way you see here on imgur.

the should put it in a MSI museum - Daimler once bought back a still working Mercedes with a mileage of 4.6 million kilometres (for museum)
SuperDramaticFusion

That’s like...what 7,8 miles?

Oakley have a pair of glasses with a 5 inch nails embedded in it and the wearer was not injured. They gave him a lifetime supply of glasses

The Gulf War Game Boy. https://www.ripleys.com/weird-news/unstoppable-game-boy/
Koga73
Nintendo in New York has a Gameboy that was melted by napalm in Vietnam and still works
infernalcombustionengine
Was that not Trumps game boy?
IgnoranceIsTheKey
I remember 'nam, twas the year pokemon yellow came out.
tlamstrike
Just when do you think Vietnam happened? It got hit but a Scud in the 1st Gulf War.
Koga73
HA good point that sounds more accurate
nephi1ium
Can you tell me why you're downvored?
Sigge1981
Because the Vietnam War was fought in the 60s and 70s,and the Gameboy was released in 1989
nephi1ium
Haha thanks, I hadn't read it that closely. It was the Gulf War I believe. I remember that plaque in the pic on imgur not too long ago
RacecarIsRacecarBackwards
I think it was a W115 diesel. Those are indestructible.
wyatt8740
yeah that or a w123 for sure.
RacecarIsRacecarBackwards
My parents had a W123 300d when I was a child. I still think it was the best car we ever had as a family.
wyatt8740
My family's a volvo one; here it'd be a 145 or 245.
Always loved old mercedes though
RacecarIsRacecarBackwards
Very cool Volvo! I liked them when they were boxy like that.
AstartesLibrarius
Still love the old Top Gear Hilux.
AntwarTalley
That could have ENDED him, he's lucky!
AtillatheGun
Unlikely. Even at that angle a bullet traveling slowly enough to *only* do that to the monitor doesn't have a lot of energy left. would 1/
AtillatheGun
certainly have ruined his day and/or caused injury, but unlikely to be life threatening with that kind of energy.
thungoda
Hope he wasn't sitting in front of the monitor when the bullet hit. I'd've shit my pants and the pants of my two closest friends.

Prob just say “fucking piece of shit monitor”... of course investigate... “wtf”
ThighHighsSaveLives
You might be a bit too close to your friends, might be time to think about serious commitment, but whose gonna be the bride
at1mp
Dang I wish I had two friends for this kind of situation. I’d have to shit my own pants three times. :(
Doopapotamus
Can you explain to us and the court why you have psychic control over your friends' colons?
thungoda
I don't believe it's any of the courts business what orifices of me and my friends are linked or how. Speak to my attorney.
MobileKeepsMessingUp
Definitely one of the stupidest things that can happen. People being idiots with guns can cost someone a hundred feet away their life.
MobileKeepsMessingUp
Those types of deaths push me off. Its 2019! We should be better at not accidentally killing people by now! Guns, bridges, car accidents...
DreadPierateRoberts
Medical mistakes
MobileKeepsMessingUp
So many things! Mans hubris for all the wrong things is astounding! Fuck screaming about"playing God", just keep your eyes on the damn road!

Happened to a friend of mine during a WoW raid. Only the shooter was the idiot next door that didn’t know to clean his guns properly.

I understood that reference
bluesun68
That would be quite a trick if you were gaming on line.
FuryM0nk
Oh fuck i’m dying, I need this as a comic or video
TheBlackWindHowls
[playing Apex Legends] "Haha! Boom, headshot!" [monitor explodes]
ottotravel
Pretty sure it would be quite a trick anyway.
RodgerRodger
just mail your poop to them with instructions. Thats what i always do.
IAkuTheShapeShiftingMasterofDarkness
Bfv getting shot at... bullet comes through wall..
DarkDuskBlade
Just yell really loudly out of nowhere... like you would if you were getting shot at.
samtherat6
“Whoa, where did that shot come from? I don’t see anyone in front of me?”
MeisPip
He said he was sleeping
USPS
do you not sleep at your desk? Pfft, Amateurs /s
haunter64
S-sleep?
Rivalyn
You know how it would get dark sometimes and then you'd open your eyes and it's like six hours later? That was sleep.
ChiLLeCheeze
Six hours?

Not on purpose. I prefer my gaming chair.
