GA. Man Loses Leg In Tannerite Mishap

[BogWalker]

My first thought when I read this story was 'Oh damn FPS finally blew himself up."

Didn't he nearly eat it when he blew a truck up with tannerite?

I was too young to remember when dynamite was available to anybody that wanted it. But somehow, I suspect it was events like this that eventually relegated it to its regulated status now.

A staple of our family reunion years ago were slides of my great uncle blowing stumps out in the fields. Those things went a long, long way.

Oh yeah...some of the stories old timers will tell can be hilarious.

I thought once you pack something with Tannerite or put Tannerite under something then you've created a bomb - one frowned upon by our no-fun overlords.


Could this moron be looking at jail time?

 

[HoughMade]

I'd have to look it up, but even if it does I'm hoping the principle of "he's been punished enough" would be invoked.

I'd like to express my shock that we are 5 pages into this and none of the INGO Safety Committee has appeared to tell us how safe it is to get hit by flying pieces of metal.

Only in a training situation of course......Got to make sure that vest and helmet you bought on Ebay for Jade Helm are up to snuff...Say, whatever happened to Jade Helm...Did we lose Texas???

Kirk, you frankly have no idea about tactics and whatnot. How are you gonna know if tannerite will blow up a tractor from 15 yards? Sure, it might work from 600 yards, but you just don't know about ballistics and stuff. You've gotta train, plain and simple. It's just common sense. Some people.












Read that in whatever accent you deem appropriate.

The real lost opportunity is not having "tractor eye-view" pics of the bloody stump from the downrange photographer.

I'm not gonna say they did everything right, they obviously missed out on that. But they did get some TCCC training, which a lot of people neglect. Good on them, I say.

How about Ruthenian? It's sort of like Old Church Slavonic which, of course, is my go to accent.

I won't judge. I can hear it now narrating a "Meanwhile in Russia" video.

But no fake FPS Russia accents, please, if you're really going to go com-bloc.

 

[WebSnyper]

[strike]Shrapnel[/strike] abject stupidity caused the injury.

I've always thought Stupidity should be a valid cause of death for use on death certificates.

He could sue but he won't have a leg to stand on.

Nice!

Hopefully some testicles were lost in that display of intellect.

Agreed, removing some of these mental giants from the gene pool, would go a long way for future generations.

 

[Hookeye]

Cruz or Trump....wonder who the shooter will stump for?

I am closest to St. Petersburg. Apparently being born and raised in Indiana, I have a problem getting to the Platonic ideal of the Moscow accent.

Regardless, I am not standing up full value numbnuts with metal flying above. Get one of the INGO Safety Committee members to show us that it is safe to do, not me.

My Russian vocabulary is restricted to Da, Nyet and the -yeva and -vich suffixes. My accent is firmly Hoosier. But like you, I will witness Darwin at work via multimedia, and no closer.

That blows up!

What do we always say here about stupid games?

Funny thing is it's only a stupid game here on INGO when someone gets hurt. Otherwise everyone should mind their own ****ing business!
Can't win for losing in this crowd!

Next up, high profile trainers to be down range during tannerite target engagement!!! Might as well throw that out there!

If you want to blow stuff up - join the freakin Army, do it properly, and get paid for it. Tannerite? Oh please.......... What torques me is that people just like this guy put the largest plastic gasoline container manufacturer in the U.S. completely out of business from lawsuits after these "idiots" used that company's containers to pour gasoline on their campfires. With the whole family sitting around it. "pour some more gas onit Vern.." About 150 people lost their jobs and now you can only buy containers with all the "safety crap" on them that make them genuinely tedious to use. JUST IN CASE some idiot decides to pour gasoline on his campfire. Are we going forward or backward? Natural selection works if you let it.
