    I want to see someone stick their finger up the barrel of a desert eagle

    I’m torn on this one.

    Part of me is convinced that just putting a flower in the barrel would stop all war. Then I’ll make sure to put it in my hair before going to San Francisco, even though I totally forgot the first time.

    Another part of me believes that I’m gonna have to solve the problem by getting so high on red agave shrooms that I can’t feel the bullet and thus become an invincible berserker. Might sack York too, if there’s time.

    I think the important thing is to convince the person with the gun that the barrel will explode and kill them, not whether it does explode or not. That was what James Gardner did in the movie Support you local Sheriff.

    A lot of people in that thread have never seen Looney Tunes. If they did, they would have learned 3 vital facts about physics:

    1. A finger in the barrel of a gun will stop a bullet and cause the gun to explode.

    2. Gravity cannot effect you until you acknowledge that you are not on solid ground.

    3. Being crushed by a heavy object falling from a great height (think and anvil or piano) will cause to to collapse like an accordion until you are re-inflated.

    These are basic scientific facts everyone should know in the modern age.

      What’s hilarious about this is that obstructed barrels actually can explode into ribbons just like the cartoons. A finger might not do it though, and not sure how many volunteers you’d get for a scientific test.

        Incredibly, they actually drew their cartoons based on observations in nature. The duck season/rabbit season bit commonly seen in the Bugs and Daffy cartoons, while exaggerated was based on true events.

              Why are both of these so veiny? Also, why does the word veiny and both of these pictures make me think of dicks? Am I the inevitable perverted product of an overly sexualized society or are these drawings intentionally evoking phallic symbolism? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

    One person even noted how kids fingers are smaller and most adult’s fingers wouldn’t fit in the barrel… lol. That’s what the pinky is for, it’s smol for a reason, duh.

      You’re not getting your pinky in an AR-15 barrel. .2 inch or half a centimeter basically.

          Great idea, hey everyone, we’re going to use doingthestuffs dick to stop bullets now. That way your finger doesn’t get stuck in the barrel no matter how smooth it is.

    IIRC for a some handguns this could actually work as long as you are actively pushing. Because if the barrel moves back a bit it will be out of battery blocking it from even firing.

      I believe that’s correct; but it’s not all handguns, only a very, very few. Any handgun that’s gas operated (and there are, like, five) is definitely still going to fire.
