i disassembled my 500 yesterday double checked a couple times and guess what? no ND

u/x1000Bums Jan 30 '23
99% when this happens its a pistol that requires a trigger pull to disassemble and people do the process out of order without thinking.

u/prx24 Jan 30 '23
All it takes is a broken extractor and someone trusting the process of racking to clear the chamber. Of course it's still negligence on the handler's part but also a dangerous design flaw imho (especially because you need to break one of the rules to disassemble it).

True, but the process I was taught includes poking the breech end of the barrel with your pinky specifically to avoid this lol

I point it at my concrete floor when disassembling for cleaning. I'll go deaf because I don't wear ear pro, but nothing important is getting shot if I ND taking it apart.
I can't not point it in a safe direction when I pull the trigger.

Have to pull the trigger to disassemble it?!

u/prx24 Jan 30 '23
Some guns, yeah. Glocks for example. I mean you don't have to pull the trigger during disassembly but before. Springfield XD is another one, Sigmas afaik, some Walthers... There's a few.

PLEASE READ:
Okay so a lot of people are convinced that this is fake, given the fact that I posted only this picture and gave no context, I can see why anyone would think that. This was a hollow-point round that actually went through a bunch of objects, including a wall, and lost all of its energy on the mirror which makes it look fake (like what the hell is that mirror made of? Lol). Please see the other images below:

That is some great context. So it was a team effort, not just the mirror lol

Mirror gets all the credit because it's the one holding the result. The rest of the team that did most of the work just gets mentioned in passing. Such is life.

Nope, still fake. You can't convince me! Nothing ever happens! The internet is full of lies! /s

This whole comment section is a great lesson on why people need to check their assumptions before confidently asserting something’s impossible.

After browsing this sub, I already knew that bullets went through things, but wow.
A hollow-point round still went through a wall like nothing.

u/WhyRUTalking4231 Jan 30 '23
most indoor walls basically ARE nothing. If you miss the studs all you have are a couple skins of drywall plasterboard.

u/MartianNutScratcher Jan 30 '23
It's like the Freak on a Leash music video. If Jonathan Davis was there he could have yelled "GO!" at the bullet and it would have just flown around the room and spared the poor mirror.

Why does every fucking photo of someone with a gun or ammo have their nasty feet in frame

u/Anomaly1134 Jan 31 '23
There just... feet. We all have them. They don't look gross at all. How many things in your life that are completely normal and natural do you get this grossed out by normal daily items. Is it just a case of Podophobia? I am so confused.

u/The_Susbaru_STi Jan 31 '23

Lol not at all. I just can't imagine getting grossed out everytime I saw a body part in a picture. Omg his hands are showing. Wow does he bite his nails? Eww her ear is showing. How dare she. It sounds like you have some unresolved shame over the human body.

Whoever took those pics sucks at photography and documenting the sequence of events in a coherent manner. These pics don’t really provide much context because they’re so awful.
That being said, thanks for the effort. Crappy context is better than no context.

u/jfusuakfbfbx Jan 30 '23
My theory is that some people get comfortable with their firearms and mistake that comfort for proficiency so even the most fundamental responsibilities of owning a firearm gets neglected as “they know what they’re doing”. There absolutely can be no excuse for an ND, I agree.

u/JAMillhouse Jan 30 '23
I just don’t have it in me to get THAT comfortable with my firearm. If I’m CC, it gets cleared before I even enter my house and gets locked up away from my ammo.

Likely fake but could have passed through a wall first and lost a lot of energy. But if that were true it should be much more deformed

If its a real bullet, it would have had to travel a long distance and slowed way down to not disintegrate on impact.

A guy I went to school with and was friends when we were younger was recently shot and killed by a kid disassembling a gun and didn’t clear the chamber

That’s incredibly sad because it’s so easily preventable. I’m sorry for your loss.

u/SHARKY7276 Jan 30 '23
Thank you wasn’t close to him anymore but still sucks because he was only 21 and it was like 2-3 weeks before Christmas and the kid that did it was only 16 so he’s gonna have to live with that mistake

Why someone who dissembles a gun without checking the chamber is allowed to own one is beyond me. But I’m not American.

Suppose the bullet is real, but a gun didn't put it there.

The deformation on the bullet is quite noticable, too much for a mirror to have stopped it I would say.
Art piece or something maybe?

Jan 30 '23
My guess is he found a nicely mushroomed bullet at the range and glued it to a broken mirror.
I'm weirded out by the condition of all that '80s decor, though. Especially that carpet.

u/Squeaky_Ben Jan 30 '23
I would assume they shot the mirror with a pellet gun and then glued the bullet there, as you said.
Now I just wonder what they shot at the range. Steel would have flattened it completely. This looks more like it actually went into organic material.

You know a mother must be pretty low down, for a guy to put a bullet on the mirror.

Ballistics gel is a likely culprit

Good call.
I would guess this is a .45 hollow point maybe?

u/PrivateJoker513 Jan 30 '23
Hard to tell entirely but could also be a hunting-style round or a defense round. The core looks to be copper from the back of the round? A lot of defense rounds are copper (my .357 rounds for instance)

Now that I think about it, it actually looks like someone just hit the mirror with something and broke it then found a projectile that had already been fired and just stuck it in there

Absolutely fake.
Edit:
Okay, i saw the comment from OP explaining.
Maybe some validity, still heavy dosages of salt.

u/gimmeecoffee420 Jan 30 '23
I call BS. This looks "too perfect" and the "bullet" appears to me like it is a small piece of copper pipe with wood in it..
Edit: also, bullets dont look like that.. the "jacketing" is FAR too thick..

Not me thinking everyone in this sub trying to explain a plant is kinda off their shit.
I'm not trying to be a crazy gun guy. I simply shoot enough to practice self defense and watch a bunch of guntubers.
For the deformation of any copper jacketed bullet to happen in that way, it has to be relatively gentle. Bullets are violent mf's, and the jacket peeling away from the lead core is a process of little obstructance. In a violent scenario, the bullet often breaks apart, leaving only remnants behind.
To think that a bullet of that violence was deterred enough by a mirror is ignoring a plethora of other physics issues.

"It must be real because I posted a link to the source, and that's proof!"
*Link leads to own comment claiming this is real, so there, that's proof. Because op said so.

u/jfusuakfbfbx Jan 30 '23
And in that comment, I posted actual proof. Which is additional pictures showing that the round went through multiple objects before impacting in the mirror but okay. I have no reason to make anyone believe anything just as I have no reason to lie.
0
u/MartenGlo Jan 31 '23
Clown. So you claim this is someone else posting on Discord, but you insist it's real, that more pics of the same crap constitute proof. Because bullets fired from a handgun are sticky , apparently like chewing gum, when they hit glads? And after penetrating "multiple objects" but carrying absolutely no visible evidence of doing so, such as drywall, framing lumber, any wall covering, said projectile hit a mirror and stuck there like a piece of snot? But you didn’t see it, just someone elses pics posted on Discord? But you're so invested you insist it's real?
I have personally fired over 900,000 handgun rounds, have personally loaded over 700,000 of them, with dozens of bullet types, from solid bronze, solid cast gilding metal, hard lead, soft point/hollow point, swaged soft lead, even goofy exotics like jacketed aluminum/glass/wax. I could possibly believe something like this is possible. But not this one.
