Ouch!!

 

[Doc]

Needs more trigger sear?

 

[SupportTheSecond]

Wow, that was brutal.

 

[Boriqua]

Looks at his left hand like it hurts but doesn't realize he no longer has a right arm below the elbow. I can swear I read once or twice not to point those things at anything you arent ready to destroy! :shock:

 

[smithers599]

Any idea where and when this occurred?

 

[Drmark]

No link?

homemade string sling looks hooked up to trigger housing

Someone should take that rifle away from him.

Then again,...he's already been dis-armed.

"Hey George - you might want to get that looked at...

 

[smithers599]

He Grosskreutzed himself.

Any idea where and when this occurred?

Dont know where or when but I tried looking up letters that look like the ones in the bottom portion and it looks kinda like

Nepal

Thought Turkey or Greece for a minute but they have modern armies and this guy in my bigoted mind didnt seem "modern Army." The gun also looks pretty aged.

Now the words on the bottom could just be the graphic overlay from a story reported in Nepal and doesnt mean it happened to a Nepalese soldier but .. thats all I gots

 

[smithers599]

A friend who Knows Things identifies the writing as Hindi. If so, then this may have happened in India. The rifle does not look like an AK or other semi-auto. Enfield maybe?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi

Edit: On second look, def not Enfield. No bolt. Semi-auto or pump. No descending pistol grip.

 

[Suck My Glock]

Looks like a shotgun to me. Probably some police station in the remote provinces.

 

[Ballistic Therapy]

I thought it looked like a shotgun also.

 

[QuietM4]

I hope the shotgun is OK...

It didn't completely take his arm off...it was dangling by a thread. An above the elbow amputation the quick and easy way.

 

[paulgt2164]

If you zoom in you can see it is some sort of shotgun

 

[billdeserthills]

Turns out there is a good reason for using the safety
