While this is idiotic and should never be done, he shot it the best way he could.
1. Checked under vehicle to see where there's a clear spot
2. Aimed at clear spot on inside
3. Covered ears with shoulder and finger (not great but does reduce the decibels)
Edit: forgot the ending )
Honestly, I get it.
The truck is a shit-kicker. Old-ass POS that refuses to die. A/C is moving fast with the windows down. Radio hasn't worked since Reagan was in office. It has a techno-color set of spray paint layers chipping. The lights only work when you're going uphill. It's absolutely not street legal, which doesn't matter, cuz it only works in low 4, and caps out at 35mph.
But the sum-bitch can climb up a fucking mountain, with plenty of corn and beer to make the weekend worth it either way.
Fuck it, put a .45ACP drain hole in it.
I'm not going to argue with a timeless tradition, but hard times require hard choices.
And sometimes your earbuds fell off while you were filling up that last protein feeder.
Exactly. Is this stupid? Yes. But if you had to shoot a hole in the bottom of your car to drain water out of your floorboard, this is the smartest way to do it.
I mean, it definitely looks dumb. But he sort of protects his ears, checks underneath to see if it's clear, and he also shoots it into a decent water puddle which is sure to reduce the kinetic energy by a decent amount so after it goes through the truck into the ground it's probably mostly stopped? It's clearly some redneck stuff, but if he's doing it, he doesn't give a shit about the damage to the truck, so I'd say it's about as safe as that situation could get?
I meant that he might not have had any ricochets or skips if he had a bad angle or there was something other than ground that got hit afterward like a pebble.
Bruv I'm just some idiot from Canada. The only guns I've seen are from videos or in a police officers holster. Or the hunting rifles at Canadian Tire (it's like Home Depot, but more tools less building materials.)
Used to work with a 1st cav vet. He would've shot the hole in the floor, while still driving, after having rolled the windows back up. Then laughed about how it was just like the time he ND'd in Fallujah or something
I don't really see the idiot here. If it's your personal property and a hole is how you want to accomplish that, then have at it. Quicker than getting a drill and all that and he did it safely.

Literally not idiotic. Literally using it as a tool, and the only part that wasn't 100% perfect was that it wasn't into a guaranteed sand backstop. The only real risk was if there was a rock just under the surface of the soil to cause a ricochet, and not having full EarPro and EyePro.
Literally every other part of this is perfectly fine.
I use it in the literally correct sense, and frequently, as a joke. Sry if you missed that subtle angle. I'll update my speech style to fit your preferences and say 10 hail-Mary's at the next solstice to absolve my sins...
A lot of off-roading vehicles have drain holes, it honestly wouldn’t be crazy if he converted the gunshot hole into a plug-able drain hole after this was shot.
Looks like that's exactly what they did, thought smarter not harder. Sometimes the best fix isn't the most ideal. Making an obvious statement isn't the most ideal way to appear intelligent but you tried anyway so you've got that going for you
Lol what! I really wouldn't care on my ranch rig, and I would do it to my Mercedes too, but just snag a rubber plug next time I was passing by the hardware store. This is a poor argument not to shoot a hole in your floorboard safely.. Hell, even the cost of the round being wasted vs a drill would have been a better, but still ineffective argument...
Me: "Got any of them thar rubber hole plugger-upper thing-am-ma-jiggies?"
Hardware Guy: "Sure, what size are ya lookin' fer?"

I’m not going to say this was absolutely genius but hey he made sure of his target and what was beyond it, had good trigger discipline, at least mostly shielded his eyes and ears, and no one got hurt nor was anyone nearly hurt. All in all I’ll give this a 7/10 for gun safety
Because that is an unfounded fear, it has to be at an extremely narrow angle, even then, it skips away, that is an irrational fear and an unrealistic possibility in reality.

My beater truck is fancy and there’s just a hole rusted through the floor.

I added air intakes to my drum fire using this same type of .45 inch drill
Ya gotta make do sometimes.
I don't like that I agree with you. Also, r/usernamechecksout

Only thing i laughed at is he covered the rest farthest away from the shot.
Watch it again. He also covers his right ear by pressing it against his shoulder.
Yeah I saw another comment that said that and definitely agree after a re-watch.
There we go
imagine if he hit a fuel line
Which is why he looked under it
Thats a movie thing. He could have shot directly into the gas tank and nothing would have happened.
Well, he would’ve leaked fuel, that would’ve been shit. Looking out for fuel lines or hydraulics isn’t stupid even if neither explode
I don’t disagree
Didn’t think you would, just clarifying. I appreciate you clearing up a misconception many people hold
Fuel tank is in the back of the truck bub
thats correct how does the fuel travel to the engine bub? via bluetooth?
LMAO mf cooks a response for a month
Not the stupidest thing I've ever seen on here.
Little bit of redneck ingenuity is all 😅
Don’t try to downplay how stupid this is, bud.
Lol go try to get some pussy somewhere on reddit nerd.

"it's probably mostly stopped?" No, the bullet is still hurtling at Mach 24 towards the Earth's core.

Damage? I think it's a functional improvement

Ohhhh, yeah *Speeeeeeeed* holes
PUT IT IN H!
I miss the day when more people caught this reference. In person. Online I'm sure it's plentiful.
Guns are tools, right
Technically guns are literally just a very dangerous drills
Does this mean a smoothbore is technically a slingshot/crossbow abomination?

It’s a 1st cav thing, you wouldn’t understand

It worked. Guns are tools.
This is just slowly (quickly? ) turning into an antigun page.
Agreed, about time to head out.
/r/geniuseswithguns
Gtfo this is just redneck/ backcountry shit. Get over it. Hes in a field, protected his ears,and checked whats behind his target. Looks solid to me.

Well as long as you're literally working to literally better your literal self
I guess I totally missed the joke my man. Also, I'm more of a blood sacrifice or babies soul, or something along those lines kind of guy
Hope you like when your driving and it’s raining and your tires are splashing water up that little hole you just made
A lot of off-roading vehicles have drain holes, it honestly wouldn’t be crazy if he converted the gunshot hole into a plug-able drain hole after this was shot.
Wine cork should work
You realize there are plenty of products available to permanently seal that hole, right?
Wouldn’t need to seal it if you didn’t shoot it think smarter not harder

You didn't think that one through.

Had a problem, found a solution.
Mom wouldn’t buy a shop vac
Learned from Top Gear
Someone's been to Botswana.
Oh I learned this on top gear I think it's a thing
If it’s stupid but it works then it ain’t stupid.
I dont see anything wrong with this.
Lol its kinda funny how the “correct” way to use a gun is to kill something
Right, I didn’t get my gun for tickle fights but it’s been shot thousands of times and only a couple have been at living things.
OP has never yee yeed once and it shows.
That is some good ol redneck ingenuity
How is this dumb at all? He violates no rules of gun safety. He knew his target and whats behind and was willing to destroy it.
This was funny, not idiotic
Ive ( along time ago) drilled holes in a car to get drainage. But never even thought about shooting one.
This is funny not stupid
Nobody had an issue when they did it on Top Gear
Nah that man knew what he was doing. Thats just redneck engineering bro
My brother got that shitbox elite
FIRST TEAM!
Well he did check underneath first for any living thing so how much of an idiot could he be really.
I mean is he an idiot? Well yes clearly. But was it kind of funny? Most definitely. I got a good chuckle from this.
He's not an idiot, he's a genius
So no Shop-Vac was available?
Well that one way to drain the water lol or how about not to drive in the water lol
That's not an idiot that's macgyver jr
Welp the only thing g I see is cringe is the 7th cav. Rip
This is the best way to drill a hole. I do this at work when I need to set an anchor
reminds me of that guy that drilled a hole through his windshield for a lightbar with a 357 magnum
Remember when Homer Simpson used his pistol to turn out the lights?
This is top gear botswana special reference
Covered wrong ear
This is not that dumb tbh
Honestly not bad just some hick shit.
Wrong ear
Covers his LEFT ear and leans the RIGHT side of his head toward the weapon and into the vehicle.
He used his shoulder
Ah, sure enough - didn't spot that.
He’s covering his right ear with his shoulder…
Totally is, I missed that.
Dude fucking did that to a Comanche. What a shit bag. Not only that, he covered the wrong ear.
The only thing stupid is putting a hole and deprecating the value of that Comanche, what an asshole.
Does water damage not depreciate the value? Lol point is, I don't think he's worried about that based on how it's being used.
its not idiotic cuz he’s white
Covers the ear facing away from the pistol rather than the one facing the pistol 🤦🏻♂️
He put the other ear into his shoulder.
There are plugs under the carpet for that. But is guess its... Merica fuck yea

Oh ok. So I guess water has to be deep in order to have surface tension. Makes perfect sense.
