When I was based in Malaysia about 50 years ago, some of us would collect Mongoose and some would collect Cobras, put them together in a cage and bet on the outcome.
When I was in Okinawa, about age 4 so about 60 years ago, my Dad took me to some Mongoose vs snake fights. I remember it very well. THICK cigarette smoke. Asian men and boys primarily. You could tell that some were either quite wealthy or wanted everyone to think so and others were dirt poor. I remember this boy, maybe about my age, handling what I thought was a cobra. I learned it was called a Habu. I was impressed but I recall thinking that he was just too poor to care about the consequences. Usually, the Mongoose killed the snake in the pit. Also, usually, the Mongoose got bit in the process and would either be real sick or die later on. I saw several that were real sick and/or dying...convulsions, sort of foaming at the mouth.

You can sleep soundly knowing that snake handler kid ate both the mongoose and the habu that night

🤣 Guess someone’s still waiting for their form 4 to clear.

He’ll also need a heat shield of some sort if he wants to run drills. That can gets hot under the hand guard; AMHIK.

Edit: and always…ALWAYS…wear gloves you fucking pogue!

Though it looks like the ungloved hand is photoshopped…or maybe he was just demonstrating what a bad idea it is to run that setup without a can. He clearly has a glove on the trigger/dominant hand. 🤔

Ironically, they look like the same gloves I usually run…Pig gloves. Highly recommended.
