I think he's asking for trouble...on many levels:

Indeed. One of many questions that came to mind. There are more wacky antics in his other videos.

I was thinking that with all that smoke the smoke detectors were going to go off and ten seconds later they did. I do have to wonder about his safe backstop of the woods though.

My thought exactly. Assuming he did have a safety guy outside, it was an instructional vidieo.

Re: Shootin' suppressed through house, out window!

Thought about the parents too LOL.

First thought of the obvious safety concern and not really knowing his backstop "just woods" (after all, no one - child or adult, has any reason to be in the woods, right; reminded me of the cop that tried to shoot a snake in a tree and killed a 12 y.o. boy fishing with her grandfather). Second thought was how he was going to explain those holes in the wall/why there is a new picture on the wall; what if he were to have hit a plumbing or gas line (obviously didn't)? Third was he is either a lousy pistol shot or didn't know his POI shift with the cans. Lucky for him his smoke alarms weren't networked to the Fire & Police departments. If you are going to do something illegal (this was probably inside city limits) don't film it.

I'm curious how many here that consider there handgun their primary home defense weapon whether you keep it suppressed...outside of hearing protection the tactical benefit would be?...never mind I'm sure it's been discussed before here...I'll search it later...

i guess none of you guys shoot deer in the woods. maybe this guy knows the woods behind his house as well as you know the woods behind your deer.

Re: Shootin' suppressed through house, out window!

I gonna trust the background was clear, otherwise - very cool. I was very impressed with the Osprey. Bravo.



Good luck



ETA - I guess we are seeing who are the real gun nerds in the crowd from some of these comments. Consider for a moment giving these gentlemen the benefit of the doubt - that they really did have a safety fan. They are asking and answering a question, and they are willing to share the info. Then again, if you are of the mindset that shooting means daylight, a square range, and convention - it wasn't meant for you anyway.

That's not thick, probably unpopulated woods, and you can see a building just out of his line of fire to the right. Other videos make it look like he's in a well-to-do incorporated community shooting in his back yard, I don't see suggestion no. 1 of a backstop, and the pin looks to be too far away to be practical in measuring accuracy after individual shots. Some of his stuff looks like 97.5% FAIL.

Re: Shootin' suppressed through house, out window!

yes & also his Demo of noise from shooting in a room w/suppressor is Flawed Logic .
<span style="font-weight: bold">quote:</span>
>..." <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">quick demonstration on how loud a suppressed pistol would sound in your house should you need to use it in a home defense situation</span></span> ."

There is something very much missing .
Shooting suppressed pistol in a self-defense situation . The ' bullet impact noise ' hitting the target is not lhere . & Would be sounding like someone pounding a mattress with a Baseball Bat .

Re: Shootin' suppressed through house, out window!

Man this is a tough crowd. You guys might be right, and on the other hand you may be way off. We really have no idea what they did to insure safety. They might be Eagle Scouts, lifetime members of the NRA, and Range Safety Officers at their local reputable range. ...or they could be slacker douches who smoke a lot of weed. We really don't know.

I shoot "into the wood" (they're my woods, I own them) all the time. I sit on my back porch and shoot pistol and rifle. It's a wooded hillside, so backstop isn't an issue. Hasn't occurred to me to do it from inside the house through my window. My woods are fenced and posted. It's in the back yard, so not the standard approach for the UPS guy.

I just think we need to be careful about jumping to conclusions by making assumptions based on a lack of information. All that being said, they look like douches and I don't like defending them.

Peleton
I am situated about like you are. I can shoot in about a 300 degree arc around my house, and I do shoot from inside. Shooting table just inside basement window. Good hills for backstop, and nobody is supposed to be there anyway. If they are....tough.

Re: Shootin' suppressed through house, out window!

I do this a lot here at home, even without a can on some rifles, Note: certain breaks will make momma very upset at the effect on carpet. Last week we were going to 1300yds off the baby's bed which is not a good rest at all by the way.

Re: Shootin' suppressed through house, out window!

I think the guy had his shit together and knew where the rounds were going.
It reminds me of my own "Shot on cat."
I use an old pellet pistol that you pump up. Ten pumps is max, however I know how it shoots as I have had it for 20 years and know what 5 pumps will do.
When cats are shitting in my yard or just out there, I refer to them as "Cat down range."
They don't all get 10 pumps, maybe 4, but ALL know not to come back.
It is becoming hard for me to get a shot on "Cat down range." and I even have given my own cat a dose when she was making ASS and shredding something or another.
I have to creep the glass door open, then get braced good and make the shot. They are all aware of the danger. They know what can happen.
My glass door is intact, I haven't shot it yet, and don't have cat shit in my yard.
Regards, FM

Re: Shootin' suppressed through house, out window!

PS. I have not killed any cats.
The pistol is low powered and pumped to what is needed.
If they need 3, or four, that is what they get.
I have pumped it up to the max 1 time and the cat didn't get the pellet under it's skin. Found the pellet on the concrete where the snarling bastard got shot. Fur and a flat pellet.
SOB came around a few more times and got hit then gave it up and didn't bother me any longer.
If I want to kill them, I have an air rifle that will do it.
The pistol teaches manners and where not to shit, ie my garden or my flower beds or under my rose bushes.
Regards, FM

Re: Shootin' suppressed through house, out window!

I shot a coyote out the door a couple days ago. Granted the barrel was outside the house. A little over a mile to the nearest house in that direction, but I was shooting down....a good ridge behind her....and there was at least half a mile of woods it would have to pass through...and the .223 round never left her neck.

You know these guys? Well then you've walked the site and can confirm that the physical relationship between the area within the house they were shooting from into the 'woods' that they refer to in the first video is infact the same woods depicted in the second video - right? And furthermore you're familiar with the nature of what is behind the woods depicted in the second video as well - correct? Since you know all that - cut to the chase man - are they responsible folks that you would vouch for or not?



Good luck

Yes, I am pea green with envy over his jam-o-matic Beretta (see his other vids).

I'll spell what my issues are.

On the assumption of safety and legality, there are several factors that have to be addressed before such an act would be considered "safe" by range standards if in fact it is legal in his area. Looking at some of his (and his peer's) gun handling and muzzle discipline in other videos, i'm guessing not all available safety measures were in place. I am still uneasy with everything that happens after the bullet travels through the window as the shooter has very limited view. Right or wrong, it's difficult to watch.

As per the video, what scientific merits did it have? Did he have a decibel meter? Through Youtube, all gunshots and explosions are limited to the volume of my speakers. Why was there not "control" shots with an unsuppressed weapon?

And finally, I was under the impression that an NFA weapon was not a good choice (for legal reasons) for home defense. I for one am for using what you got, but i'm sure those who spent the money and more importantly time to procure an NFA item would not want it yanked from his hands as evidence. Then again, maybe this cat doesn't care as it seems that hose-draggers in FL are making bank.

So at best, this is just a "Hey, look at me, i'm shootin' my toys in the house without a care in the world!" video. But, I'm still going with my gut and saying it's fucking reckless.
