You have to hand it to this guy, it takes balls to do something like this. Or stupidity. Either way, it is cool to watch in slo-mo.

That is some truly awful editing. Not one complete continuous shot of the... shot.
Not really stupid if you understand physics. Its no different than when they put a ball on the end of a string to create a pendulum , hold it at their nose and let go standing still as it swings away and then back at their face. If you understand physics you know it can't hit you in the face as it can't create more energy to rise to a higher point from where it started. In this case a bullet in water won't go very far so if you know what the distance is you can stand outside of that range and be perfectly safe.
To be honest, you wouldn't really see much if he didn't keep turning to different cameras. He zoomed in for you to see the initial part of the shot, then after that cloud went away you wouldn't see anything other than a dot. So by turning to different views you at least have something to see.
The man has some faith in science. We all know nothing would happen but I doubt there are many that would actually do it though.
Someone that REALLY understands physics, understands the difference between book physics and real world physics where there are often many variables you forgot to take into account.Not really stupid if you understand physics.

In other news today, a man was killed when he was impaled by the barrel flying off his AR15 when he tried to shoot himself underwater.
The bullet landed safely 10 feet away, but the back-pressure was so great the barrel flew off and speared him like the dumbass he is.
His last word was "Successss......!"
Was expecting a video of him being close enough for the bullet to hit him but slow enough to not do damage. I think most everyone knows a bullet only travels a few feet under water so after seeing where he was I knew the bullet wouldn't get close.
Was tested by Mythbusters a decade ago. Do people forget THAT QUICKLY?
You know the dude had already watched MythBusters that proved even a 50 caliber round won't even make it 3 feet underwater. It's a crack up watching movies that still show people getting shot underwater or lighting gasoline with a cigarette or shooting guns that have no kick.
If the bullet is only going that far with a given amount of powder, the barrel would travel an even shorter distance were it to be compromised.
There ya go, getting all accurate and shit. Can't you leave a good jest alone ?
I grew up with guns and I missed the MB episode. Nor am I a physics major. I'm almost ashamed to admit it but this is news to me.Was tested by Mythbusters a decade ago. Do people forget THAT QUICKLY?
I'm more impressed that he used a $10K collectors gun rather than a $600 beater to submerge underwater.
I just assumed he was Swiss. The Swiss government hands out those awesome Sig rifles to almost every household in the country.
Sadly, I feel like most everyone still thinks guns are evil magical weapons that can go off randomly.

You should always assume that a gun is loaded and could accidentally fire due to human error or mechanical failure. Basic gun safety...
