Uh....the only comment that can come to mind.....What the fuck is wrong with these people???
AAAGGGGGh.....Even for a gun supporter, this has to be the most irresponsible video ever. Who are they selling this too anyway?
I don't think I'd ever want to deal with their customer service folks.
What. The. Fuck.
Some people should have their guns taken away.
Bullet proof baby about us
These people are actually for real.
They may be for real... but unless they truly are totally batshit crazy (and few folk are with their babies), the vid is a fake.
Note the way the woman is holding, aiming (NOT) and firing the weapon. She would be spraying all over the place, if she were actually firing live rounds (I don't think she is).
Note that there's no damage to the wall LESS THAN TWO METERS BEHIND HER TARGET while she's spraying fully auto fire.
Beyond that-- a baby riot helmet?? Toddler Taser????????
Oh, and notice that damn near *everything* in their inventory is "out of stock."
I'm sorry, guys, I just can't take this one seriously. It's just WAY too goddamn FUNNY.
Okay, Teh Google iz u BFF
If it can't handle IEDs and RPGs too I don't want it!
But it was on the Intertubes! It must be true.
I can't believe anyone thought that was real.
Ivan called it. She's probably not firing any rounds at all. It's a propane gun that simulates muzzle flash and noise. She's clearly faking the recoil. Notice the 'weapons master' cocks something at the front of the gun before cocking the bolt - probably the spark generator.
And what's up with the sound effect of a hydralic ram when the stroller hood is lowered?
I think some people need to watch more Mythbusters!
Ivan Renko figured it out. And in pretty decent speed as well. Points also to schwag of tulsa for explaining how the stunt was done.
*laughs*
You notice I didn't say I believed a damn thing? I just thought it was funny.
And it was all right there the second you googled, which of course... Google is your friend.
It was part of a viral marketing campaign for the movie Shoot 'Em Up.
(Cont...)
While lots of newspapers and bloggers fell for the story, here are two -- The Daily Telegraph, and Raising Kids -- who didn't.
Viral marketing... it's what's for dinner.
Here -- go to the original web site, and you can see the link to the movie over on the left side of the page.
In context, along with the Toddlers 5 Mega Volt Taser... Heh.
Hope everyone enjoyed playing along. 'Cause you never know when we're going to throw a curve ball at ya. *grins*
What were some tip offs?
1. Range safety sucked. The person setting up her weapon didn't have ear or eye protection.
2. "Daddy" was down range from a loaded automatic weapon pointed directly at him AND her finger was on the trigger. I don't freaking THINK so. Not if I'm on the goddamn range. Being cool be dammed; you point a weapon at me, I'm going to shove it up your ass.
3. The recoil was way off. It should have climbed up and away. It didn't. No way was she keeping her weapon on target that well firing bursts that long.
4. Where were the casings? Why weren't they flying out to the right? Does this weapon pick up its own brass? (Hey, maybe it does. I don't know every weapon there is.)
5. Not a single shot missed the target and hit the backstop? Yeah, right. Or bounced off and went flying elsewhere? Again, yeah, right.
Anyway, time to go. I hear my waffles and bacon calling me. Bye...
"Oooooooooooo... That's Bullshite, Mommy"
I don' wanna be downrange next time...
Hmmmmmm... waffles, bacon, syrup...
They were very tasty. Mmmmmm.
Now if only my Seahawks would stop getting whupped.
OK, there are lots of reasons to see that it's fake. But the most instantly obvious one hasn't been mentioned, and I wonder if I'm crazy or the several decades since I fired a gun have changed physics fundamentally, or what.
Sure, I can see that the recoil isn't for real, if I think about it. But how about the impact? The stroller kinda shook as the bullets supposedly hit it. Come on! It's stopping (bouncing) bullets from an automatic rifle, and it doesn't inmmediately jump a foot back and fall over? The shaking stroller is about right, perhaps, if the bullets are passing straight through the fabric, but they're not supposed to be doing that.
Have they repealed the conservation of momentum? Or do modern weapons pack about twice the power that .22-cal pellets did when I was a kid? Hard to see you're gonna kill a lot of Iraqis with weapons like that, unless they're close enough to hit on the head. (Not that I don't think that sort of weapon is a good idea, but still-- ) Or have I got it totally wrong?
No, you're right.
I should have seen that right away. It should knock the damn thing over instantly.
Aw, Jesus-- even if it's fake it sucks bigtime. It's just wrong. I don't care if it's a big spoof. Wrong.
Ah, American culture.
I get that it's fake before the first shot is fired: Who would push such a stroller? Robocop? The Terminator?
4. Where were the casings? Why weren't they flying out to the right?
awwww, it shoots honey flavored kissykisses and booboo-All-better snuggle lumps..
frankly I'm more concerned taht anyone was convinced by this. seriously?
But I am diggin the all black MadMax marauder style Snap-N-Go(F Yerself)stroller. It sez; Look all you want. Touch And Die.
ohh i kiddU!
