And this is why training and good RSO's matter. This is how lives are saved. Do it right every time, and when something happens... well someone still might get hurt but you've mitigated that to a very very slim chance. Because, yall, if you don't spend time on the range then let me assure you that accidents DO happen.

Great instructor.

This is what you call a successful failure.

So ... i would be looking for a new pistol.

What kind of handgun is it?

the second amendment doesnt mention discipline or rules for firearm use! why are you showing this unconstitutional Video?

To be DQ'd for a hammer follow is pretty dumb.

Was that a Beretta 92 that slam fired??

What does Deque mean? Did he disqualify him due to weapon malfunction?

The safety standards being shown aside, this was probably great for that learner's self-esteem. I'd be so ashamed and nervous, being disqualified from handling firearms the rest of the session, I'd probably be too humiliated to even show up next week. Making it into a teaching point for how he actually fucked up in the most useful and safest way possible would have filled me with the confidence to keep practicing my firearm safety.

So what happened?

What is the make and model of the gun that discharged?

Thanks for nearly killing me! *claps*

Perfect example of anything mechanical can fail. This is why some people carry with no round in the chamber since the chances of AD/ND is way higher.

instructor reminds me of michael rosenbaum

I was a firearms competitor for SEVERAL years in Florida. I NEVER had a negligent misfire...

Safe Gun mechanics can prevent accidents and save lives. Stay safe out there, guys, and gals and remember, practice, practice, practice. Peace ✌️

The instructor made the whole ordeal kinda awkward lol

What kind of pistol is that

7 years later and I STILL send people to this video as an example of what an actual AD is, vs the more common ND that everyone likes to call an AD. Plus the great job the instructors did handling the situation.

I hope he got the firearm fixed.

G'head and unloooooad

gun range full of neckbeards and beta cucks, exactly the type of people i would expect to own a gun. that and 3/5s race

I know he's a teacher but man did he treat that like how a good teacher would treat that haha

It's been years and years but only now I notice the Carnik Con t-shirt :D

Instructor full of BS. Would definitely hire him. You need people like that in your company.

This video is so cringe worthy. The whole "doing everything right speech" is too much. Good god

I would immediately be looking for another brand. because that is bullshit

Ik this video is years old, but serious commendation for everyone in that building. The guy holding the weapon for following all the safety rules and freezing at the moment of the AD, the instructor for remaining cool and commending the guy and not embarrassing him for something that wasn’t his fault, and the people all behind him for also remaining calm at a situation some would become upset about. Serious commends all around for everyone here

Came for the video stayed for the comments

I’m confused. Am I the only one that saw him pull the trigger? What happened here?

Man, you can hear the sadness in the instructor's voice when he said he had to DQ the guy.

Why the DQ tho? Shouldn't malfunction give you another chance

First, I'm VERY HAPPY that no one was injured in this event!!! Please also understand, this is meant to be positively critical, so I'm not trying to bash anyone here, just offer things that can help to avoid situations like this from ever happening. ***Before you all ask and send hatred, I am an armorer/gunsmith.*** There is no such thing as an "ACCIDENTAL" discharge. All discharges of this nature are negligent. To quote your description: -----"Also, consider all of the things that he did INCORRECTLY prior to the incident: ------1. He installed an aftermarket hammer and sear that were labeled "gunsmith installation only". " --end quote Yet, you claim this was not "negligence". If he is not licensed, and installed the parts himself, he is responsible for the discharge of his firearm because he didn't have a properly licensed person do the work. That is cutting corners, or saving a few bucks, or whatever you want to call it, but no matter how you slice it, that is operator negligence, and it lead to this discharge, plain and simple. The guy from the "Brick Immortar" youtube channel would agree here. His willful disregard of safety instructions that stated "gunsmith installation only" was the safety violation here, which is willful neglect of written warnings. There are no accidental discharges, only negligence. The Range Boss/Instructor did well to diffuse the situation and keep calm and everyone on the range calm. OUTSTANDING job here. The Instructor should call out to the mindset of the operator for always thinking safety and properly following all the rules of the range, which he did a GREAT job of pointing out. However, encouraging applause here was absolutely not okay. It lowers guards and causes complacency and can lead to injury by those that fall trap to it. Everyone and anyone can fall trap to complacency. Firearms and complacency are natural opposites and should not mingle, EVER. There are no accidental discharges, only negligence. Equipment malfunctions are never something to applaud. I am happy that the handler was thinking safely and treating the weapon and the range correctly. All the rules of gun safety are to ensure no negligent losses occur, so if one mistake happens, there are other steps taken in its place to ensure safety is maintained. It is a huge sigh of relief and I am EXTREMELY happy that no one was injured during this event. There are no accidental discharges, only negligence. It is always the responsibility of the gun owner to ensure no equipment malfunctions occur with their firearm. This was operator negligence and it is not to be applauded. This is a slamfire, and could have easily been avoided, even with a modified weapon. There are no accidental discharges, only negligence. Retraining is needed for the operator, and ensuring that they also do not become complacent for the egregious error that occurred with multiple people in extremely close proximity on an indoor range. What happened here was EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and should not, under any circumstance, be taken for granted. There are no accidental discharges, only negligence. The operator installed the components, and did not respect the warnings, possibly broke state and federal law (I'm not a lawyer, but I know its illegal in some states, namely mine). AND this occurred even after ~1,000 rounds shot through the weapon. The number of rounds put through the weapon does not change the fact that he did the work himself, therefore the discharge was his responsibility. There are no accidental discharges, only negligence. Firearms are NOT toys. They are not for people that all need to be praised when no one gets hurt when a grave mistake is made. The grave mistake, while not injuring anyone, does not change the status of that mistake. That mistake could have caused injury REGARDLESS of the fact that this time, it did not. Firearms were designed to DESTROY, and they are not toys. There are no accidental discharges, only negligence. When you have seen PERSONALLY seen what a firearm does to another human being, I'm certain that you will begin to understand my mindset. I'm not speaking in absolutes here, nor will I claim that I'm better or any nonsense like that. I'm just the same as all of you. My mindset here is clear to ensure safety, and it works. I have never had a negligent discharge in over 20 years of handling firearms, meaning I have NEVER fired a round I have not purposely intended to fire from any firearm I've ever handled in my entire life. There are no accidental discharges, only negligence. This mindset I hold helps. I hope you can all understand it, and understand why I'm trying to be positively critical here, and possibly adopt this mindset and share it. Also, I'm REALLY happy no one got hurt here.

*equipment malfunctions* *Still gets disqualified*

The instructor acts like a Half-life 2 character

Nice hobby y'all have here (sarcasm)

isn't this why it's dangerous to carry with one in the chamber?

i would concentrate on keeping the barrel pointing down range instead of doing that 0:11

these guys are cool, really cool

He did a good job. This is why you always aim at "safe" direction. And too often people think down is safe. The way he reloaded, and pulled back with the barrel aiming down range is a perfect example of what to do. Never reload or rack the slide back with the barrel facing down or at someone or something you don't want to shoot. So general rule, always aim at the safest possible direction.

Instructor; we have it on camera my eyes: are y ou sure, I didn't see a damn thing it's so dark! wait... Ahem it's so dark that, I see a little silhouette of a man Scaramouche... will you turn the lights on-no? thunderbolt and lightning, very very triggering me! (Gunileo) Gunileo! (Gunileo) Gunileo! Gunileo Fired-o! sorry. Somehow bohemian rhapsody on the mind out of the blue.

Nice! I was worried the title was being sarcastic.

I would say its a negligent discharge, even if he followed the 4 gun safety rules. Heres why: By not properly handling the firearm prior to the incident, this can be everything to, as in this case, installing incorrect parts, disabling the firing pin safety, but can also not properly maintaining the firearm, not cleaning it or cleaning it incorrectly, or operating the firearm outside its specifications in regards to water, temperature, or using incorrect, unsafe or incorrectly stored ammunition, he then was negligent. Technically, he didn't follow the rule "Don't have your finger on the trigger until ready to fire", because by modifying parts of the gun related to the trigger recklessly, he basically took out the trigger out of equation, and he could be considered be holding a imaginary finger on the trigger. If I would be this gun instructor, I would have banned him from the range for "bringing an unsafe firearm to the range". Only thing where it would be accidental discharge would be if the gun legitimately malfunctioned even when operated with correct parts, in correct specification, with proper ammo, and correctly maintained, and the 4 gun safety rules being followed.

I also really love how the instructor did an excellent job explaining to everyone else what just happened and WHY that was handled properly. This is something mediocre instructors often do not do well! Huge props to the instructor here.

what handgun was it!? All this self congratulatory bs and you just all Gloss right over the elephant in the fkn room! What Handgun Was It!?

"A gun's not gonna get up and shoot someone." This gun: "You're not the boss of me." But seriously, very good of him to follow all the rules. The rules exist because things like this can happen even when you do everything right.

What gun is that. Would be important to know and then not buy it.

I wish people hyped me up as much as that instructor hyped up Patrick. What a good guy.

Since when did hippies like guns?
