Forums - Sony Discussion - Hating PSN? Man Shoots PS3 With Desert Eagle

 

Wouldn't it be cooler if he just nuked it?



Anyone who's breaking the law is obvious a criminal.

What is illegal about it?

And for those of you complaining that the guy wasted money by shooting his PS3, you have no idea how much more money he wasted by buying a piece of shit Desert Eagle. He could buy two PS3s and still have money left over for a real handgun that fired every time for that price of that DE.

Well I'm not from the States, so I don't know much about your laws (or any laws on guns), but I thought you are only allowed to buy one to either hunt animals or keep one in your house in case you want to protect yourself from a thief or something.

So can you actually take a gun and shoot at anything (except people) anywhere? I mean it seems quite a remote place, but I have heard of a lot of accidents with people and guns (when they go hunting), so I assumed that it's not meant for entertaining purposes. Plus I noticed in a lot of Tv series that certain characters go to specific places where they can shoot (wearing special glasses and headphones) as long as they want to blow off steam.

It varies by region and state but generally, if you're on your own property outside of any kind of city limits, you can fire away at whatever you brought with you (excepting people, pets, etc.).

By "more hardcore", you really mean "less efficient".

You can have your sword, give me an MP5 any day.

funny vid, but firing guns like that in the open is unsettling. this would never happen in the uk


The United States is a largely Agrarian society with a average population density at less then a seventh of the UK. The man in the video also appears to be handling the weapon properly, and operating it in accord with the law. That means that the gun is basically safe he has no real chance of harming anyone else, and almost no chance of actually doing harm to himself or his friend. Say what you want about him being a shmuck, but his handling of the weapons in no way appears to be sloppy or stupid.

I live in the country side, and hear weapons being discharged on almost a daily basis. During Deer hunting season the area outside is filled with hundreds or thousands of men carrying guns. Your sensibility would tell you that a lot of people are going to get killed every year. We haven't had a fatality in almost twenty years, and even then the fatalities were caused by a sniper intentionally shooting hunters.

Anyway it is hardly as unsettling as you think. It isn't that I am cavalier with my safety living where all these guns are going off all the time. I just know it is highly unlikely that I am going to get accidentally shot. I have a better chance of contracting a strange disease, being struck by lightning, or burning to death in a housefire. Where I live is probably a lot safer then where you live.

I am no gun enthusiast by the way, I don't own a gun, and have never fired a gun. I just know a abundance of guns does not mean anything is less safe. Alcohol kills more people locally then bullets. I am sure it is probably the same where you live. Do you feel unsettled by people openly kicking back mugs of beer? It is just unsettling, because you are not used to it. Not that it is actually dangerous.

I don't know anything about shooting weapons, but when the PS3 had a log behind it (around 1:20 in the video) I did wonder if it was possible for the bullets to ricochet back.

He seemed to aim really well with the first weapon, but when he used the machine gun it seemed like he hardly got one on target...

Bullets are harder than wood. No ricochets.

Meh, the Russian guy was way cooler. He actually had some style.

Smoothly slice the PS3 in half with a samurai sword anime-style is the only worthy way =D



He was about to go out and get a slim
