1:20AM Gizmodo US Edition | We don’t go too nuts about real guns here on Giz, and over at Geekologie they found this video that shows why: there are some very dumb people out there. People who should never go near a weapon, let alone own or try to fire one. It’s a compilation of clips, some you’ll have seen before, some perhaps not… but put them all together and it’s horrifyingly fascinating blooper reel. My prize goes to the poor guy in the test range who suffers again and again… and again. [Geekologie] More »
