Pretty much what everyone was else was saying from surgeons on down but hey, like comment and subscribe for more.....and donate to his whatever to help cover his expenses....
I wonder why they don't have some YouTube equivalent of a red shirt to do that shit? That way they don't, you know, use their fucking medic to do something potentially dangerous because they might need him for like when the RPG catastrophically fails.
They were literally playing out Saving Private Ryan with their wounded medic walking them through how to save his life.....

He was the medic and was giving directions he doesn't remember...seems like a bad idea.
Supposedly the company who did it was big into RPG/FA rentals and the owner has since closed shop.
They were shooting it off a stand earlier in the day according to the video, they think the booster broke in half and plugged the Venturi
Everything they did was pretty standard for "civilian" RPGs from what I understand.
You play with dangerous shit and things happen sometimes.
Crazy story/video though, but not worth 3rd degree burns to relive I'd assume lol
When they get the bugs worked out, will he shoot the next one? Idiots doing idiot things.
As my brother loves to say, "Play stupid games, Win stupid prizes."

Long ago and in a far away land, an unnamed human I used to know, had one of them ar-15 pop can launchers that uses a blank cartridge to launch it.
Can we guess how this ends up??
Maybe they never heard of a mortar tube? Anyways,
The plan was to Insert a homemade firework, that might have had a fair amount of poudery aleuminium in it, and a ‘correct’ amount of feuze and launch it way up in the air for a nice kaboom.
All set up…Light the feuze and count off a few seconds….. pull trigger, CLICK, panick and pull trigger more but it doesn’t even click now…. AAAAAAAHHHH $&@?!!!…. Throw ar with burning firework inside of it as far as possible….
KABOOM….
Well, nobody got hurt, he just lost a decent rifle and a good pair of shorts, and I heard that everyone else got a good laugh.
Sorry I don’t have video or pics of said event. Like I said, it was long ago in a far away land.

I dunno man. These people are making money off this stuff.
It reminds me of the guy with the 50BMG that blew up.
Playing with surplus stuff is something you really need to be careful about. Home made B40 just sounds like a bad idea, or whetver the thing uses. Then something welded back together.....playing with fire IMHO.
Anyone who doesn't realize they rebuild demilled shit like this.
It's welded, pressure tested, and sleeved. Not everything is someone stupidity sometimes things just go wrong.
I don't know the guy or care but sometimes shit just happens. Everyone isn't a moron all the time lol.

That guy bought reloads off of eBay or something similar that were unknown reloads more than likely.
This RPG was remilled by a guy who does that sort of thing as a business, and rents NFA items on the regular.
I think I've found their problem. They're drinking zero calorie Rockstar. Everyone knows that this kind of activity requires full strength energy drinks.
Wholeheartedly agree, sometimes things just don't go your way and I believe that even though the unit had been refurbished, tested, and fired all day beforehand, it was still unwise to allow the medic to fire it.
He'll send you a post card from a sunny non extraditable country.
Seen a few things in my tours around the sun.
Usually all I need is a pen to fill out the toe tag after RPG failure.
Glad cameras were rolling. Something tells me he was an ArMy medic
-Doc.

Stupid test anyway. We already have multiple examples of camel humpers absorbing RPG backblasts.
Here's one that took 15 seconds to find, and just kinda...made my day... ***See 40 second mark where britchess-less Mohamed is penguin hobbling away.

Do you fuckers listen to the damn videos?lol He didn't do anything wrong, he just doesn't want to risk anything else happening to someone.
Wrong move if you ask me, but to each their own.
Not in super Slow motion. It's all filmed with potatoesStupid test anyway. We already have multiple examples of camel humpers absorbing RPG backblasts.

People did this shit when my buddy died in a plane crash.
"He's a moron, he can't fly, he must be new and stupid"
Cockpit had a flash fire and he was on fire. Can't do much there.
I just laughed and moved on. Guy had flown for 30-40 years even in air shows. It was just a freak thing in someone else's plane going to an air show.

I had M2s fire out of battery before on my Marines. Even had a 40mm HEDP round detonate not more than a few dozen yards out of the barrel. You shoot enough, shit can, and will happen. The guys in the original video in question though did kind of shit their brains through their pants when something bad happened...like they never planned for it.

5 meter kill, 15 meter casualty if memory serves correctly. 96 yards you should be good
.
Agreed on the last part, but doesn't make the guy firing an idiot as others are saying.
Shit the fucker was still telling them how to treat him and he doesn't remember it lol
I think their next project should be dual-wielded RPG's, one on each shoulder. Use the medic again.
