I guess that if enough people have access to firearms then sooner or later someone gets bored:

Interesting how he chambered the .50, it must make for a very strong action without any load/ejection port.
Still Darwin candidates though!

Not sure about the second one but the first is set up. There is another clip out there somewhere showing how they did it - still, makes you wonder if someone will try & do it for real!!

Glad to hear it, and your right someone will try it.
I have seen one video of two lads testing a bullet proof vest - it was not! Good vid for first aid training though.

That first video was a setup, it made the local news channels over here. Those two had to fess up and show how they did it when the Police threatened to arrest them for reckless endangerment with a firearm.
The second video was a bunch of dickheads who couldn't be charged for two reason. 1. It took place on private property and was no danger to members of the public. 2. The firearm wasn't shown to be pointed at anyone so they couldn't charge them with endangerment of any kind.
I guess you just can't fix stupid. Let me just say here though that these fools do not represent the majority of sensible firearms owners over here. Most like myself consider them for what they are, dickheads. Stupid is as stupid does and it's everywhere, not just here.

Just tried to see if I could find a vid of how they done it. The Asian lad works in special FX, here's another of his video's.

By the way the 50 cal round fired was a blank and the melon had a small FX charge in it.
