Homemade .38 Spear Gun Testing With Not A Care In The World

Some classic Royal Nonesuch right here:

Royal-Nonesuch-Eye-PatchYou guys know I tend to err on the side of caution.  I still cringe when I see no eye pro on this guy, and when he’s setting rounds off unpredictably at close range.  I’m no expert in physics, but seemed to me like something could easily go wrong and he could catch a ricochet.  3:06 confirmed that when he was throwing the loaded spear into the water at a rock and that chunk of bullet came back and nailed his camera.  4:04 the bullet shot off in the air again.  If either of those would have hit his eye, I’m guessing he would have ended up like the post thumbnail pic.

The montage at the end of this video (5:23) is lit.
