This youtuber is going to give us some edumaction on shooting a 9mm Makarov through a 9mm Luger pistol

[Lasers]

Were I in his shoes, I would have reshot the video immediately once I learned I'd already had one chambered. In fact, maybe I just wouldn't make the video at all

I feel like that level of common sense isn't available to our friend here.

 

[kmk1012]

I think others realized what everyone has said, probably the reason he's filming himself with no one else to help.

 

[WillametteWill]

So you realize how horribly unsafe you were being when you edit the video...and then you post it anyway.

Nice.

 

[66PonyCar]

What a wanker!

 

[Kruel J]

So I watched it finally. All I can say is....mouthbreather. Figuratively and literally.

 

[XoXSciFiGuy]

I thought the bird's nest glued on the top of his forehead was pretty cool, though. Must be a fashion statement.

"Uh...oh. I already had a round chambered..remember..always be safe." LOL.

As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon..."

Hey man, film is expensive now days!
Also takes a lot of time to cut and paste reels back together!

 

[EUGENE the REALTOR]

Spoiler alert:

After he realized he had one in the chamber, I rewatched and he not only sweeps himself, he does it with his finger inside the trigger guard...

And I'm not familiar with that pistol, but is the safety disabled as well!?

Felt like it took 10 seconds for him to figure out there was one already in the chamber. I think Homer Simpson would've figured it out quicker.

 

[Certaindeaf]

Maybe he'll do humanity a favor and test if a garbage disposal can double as a bidet.

Okay - in all seriousness... if one were to shoot say 9x18 in a 9x19 chambered pistol - how different is it really than running .38 spl in a .357Mag? A 9mm revolver might run these just fine. I have to wonder if running a lighter recoil spring in the 9mm would allow the lower powered round to cycle more reliably? The 9x18 stuff is more expensive so I wouldn't see the point in making it a regular thing, but for science purposes I can sorta see a point to it.

If it wasn't this weird-beared mouth breathing lookin dude who looks like he'd be one of my distant Oklahoman' cousins - if it were say IV8888 or FPSRussia (before his Fed Pen stay) or some other well known guntuber - the "test" featured here might not get as much negative attention. Of course they would've done it in a more controlled, more safe manner.

Well the 9x18 Makarov bullet is .365 in diameter and the 9x19 Luger bullet is .355 in diameter
That may make things "interesting"... If one were to fire a 9x18 Makarov out of a 9mm Luger firearm

Whereas the .38 Special and .357 Magnum bullets are both .357 in diameter.
So one can indeed shoot .38 Special out of a .357 Magnum firearm.

In any event , shoot what your firearm is chambered for ...and don't worry 'bout or try any other cartridges from it.

.380 has the same diameter of 9x19 at .355 - so it would've been a better one to run with than 9x18 but the idea of a bullet compressing down to fit the bore isn't unheard of, it might not be safe in a pistol like that, but then again, maybe? I'd test the hell out of it with a plexiglass barrier, or at least a good distance and a string to to yank the trigger but hey, science!

Well....you go ahead and do so .....with your guns , not any of mine.
In all seriousness....Why risk any damage to your firearm or harm to yourself...?
Again....shoot only what your firearm is chambered for.

He needs a Medsusa on his hip.

 

[jbett98]

Better yet, one of these on his shoulder. All his bases would be covered as he picks up loose rounds at the range.

 

[Lasers]

Never seen this! At first I thought it was going to have a different cylinder for each caliber and I was going to

But that's actually a pretty cool design

 

[CLee0507]

I think the most telling part of this Youtuber's proper firearm handling knowledge was..."Oh, I already had one chambered..." Can't believe he has over 5k subscribers.

I made it all of one minute but nearly stopped at his intro.

I mean a green skull wearing a respirator and a growling voice over spouting something incomprehensible?

Then his homemade 'skull' mask on the table behind his hand while he is showing various rounds of ammo?

Parasidic ? I am thinking he meant Parasitic but spelling is probably not one of his strong suits.

Stuff like this is so idiotic, and potentially unsafe. I am surprised Youtube even allows it.

but the idea of a bullet compressing down to fit the bore isn't unheard of, it might not be safe in a pistol like that,

A .365 bullet is 10 thou larger in diameter than a .355. It would not compress that much and would most likely just plug the bore and grenade the gun.

 

[bbbass]

Didn't click as not to give him another view! Title of post was enough for me.

ME TOO!!! Reading this thread was amusing and sealed the decision... LOL

 

[40Garand]

Taking a page from member Certaindeaf's book :
Didn't click.....

More importantly why try to fire a cartridge from a firearm that wasn't designed for it...?
Andy

I clicked and didn't watch. I just wanted to read the comments.
