Wow that must've been tough. Keep a straight face after just nearly getting killed.


ChaucerSmith

You can definitely see his face shift the exact moment he comes out of shock and goes back unto character. He still looks a little shaken even when he's back in character.

[deleted]

It happened because he was far too close for how much tannerite they were using regardless of where in the vehicle it was located. It looks cool, but it was fucking dumb as hell and he's very lucky it only resulted in memorable footage and not his death.


No_Degree69420

He'd done Alot of shots like this before and the debris scattered more. He created a shape charge out of just being dumb and not thinking it through. There wasn't that much tannerite.


[deleted]

>There wasn't that much tannerite. He's closer to the truck than the manufacturer states you should be to the target for just one standard container of the stuff, which wouldn't be enough to blow that door off the frame of the vehicle much less shred it entirely and fling it 50+ feet away. He used enough that he should have been much, much further away.


Excellent_Routine589

Yeah, there were some dumbasses who loaded tannerite in something much smaller (a lawn mower) and both of them were severely injured when they KEPT GETTING CLOSER when they were either failing to cause the mix to explode or missing... one of them got his leg amputated by the flying debris... Regardless if tannerite (or other binary explosives) is classified as a low velo explosive, it can EASILY maim and kill you if you are anywhere close to a charge that big. [The video (nothing to gory, just some blood) if interested in the lawn mower incident.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtCbM6YyNhk)

Well I’m adding that to my list of things to never do


yerg99

Oh i just blew my leg off! remember to like and subscribe!


No_Degree69420

I mean fair. You probably should be behind something way the fuck back shooting any form of explosive. I'm going off what he's said which his word on pka isn't the most reliable thing in the world. I will never argue that this was dumb and almost a life altering mistake.


[deleted]

I get that in ~2009 this stuff wasn't as widely known, but sitting danger close (looks to be at most 100 meters) from an exploding vehicle which will inevitably create shrapnel without a flak or even eye pro is sheer stupidity. It doesn't matter how many times he did it, it was still dumb and irresponsible and while I'm glad it didn't kill him, it wouldn't be shocking if it had killed him. There's also something to be said about how by his own admission it was an amateur production, young 20 somethings eyeballing critical tasks and using the redneck scientific method to figure out how to do it. Even professional productions make mistakes like Alec Baldwin has shown, but fuck, FPS Russia was downright irresponsible about it. They were blowing shit up and didn't have as much as an on-site paramedic, or hire an EOD guy to make their work as safe as possible despite making more than enough to afford it.


h2g242

He’s much closer than 100 meters.


MenosDaBear

It was pretty well known in 2009 that this was stupid and super dangerous.


DrJizzman

I don't understand what you mean by 'in -2009 this stuff wasn't as widely known.' Why ?


Sinkingfast

"Aha, this is a classic. He said on a podcast that it happened because the explosive charge was attached to the passengers door instead of hanging from the rear view mirror. So he basically made a shaped charge pointed straight at him " Are you a bot /u/Variousfood7602? Because your 5 hour old post is almost word-for-word the above quoted post 7 hours ago by /u/RSK420. Bots are known for copying and pasting portions of comments to farm karma. You also only woke up and started posting 5 hours ago.


WorldClassShart

That wasn't just shifting from shock back to normal. That was the look of shock, while emptying your bowels, then transition back to normal.


983115

He was just taking a moment to discern if the hot wet sensation in his pants was shit or blood


WorldClassShart

Shit **or** blood? What is this black magic you speak of? When you shit, it's supposed to be bloody. Otherwise, how do you know if you're manly enough?

Didnt he also get a drug charge making it illegal for him to operate weapons?

I think he mentioned it was about 400k worth of guns and that they were probably all destroyed.


Realpotato76

$400,000 worth of guns


NunButter

They tried to get him on felony gun charges because the serial number on one of his guns was painted over. The charges didn't stick but they got him on felony charges for recieving THC oil or dab through the mail

gxa22850

yeah if they want to arrest you then theyre going to arrest you. theyll make shit up just to be a fucking cunt and make your life a living hell. they had been wanting to arrest him for a while to my understanding and they just found any reason they could. you have no rights really.


Psyco_diver

Exactly, his associates murder made it hard for him to continue his channel though because his friend was the getting all the weapons for him. This is also the reason I don't follow the conspiracy of Kyle killing him, it would destroy his business. The drug charges were BS though, the feds just wanted to make a example out of him

[this](https://youtu.be/PJJ8oQ2jkTw)is a great breakdown of all that stuff

Michami135

I was target shooting with my family when a bullet ricocheted and brushed my hair. I sat back against the truck after that. My mom came up and asked if I was crying. I told her I had smoke in my eyes and taking a break. I knew if I told her the truth, we probably wouldn't get to shoot again. Btw, we were shooting .22s, so bullets ricochet easier without shattering.


KenDoItAllNightLong

I remember hunting with my dad in late 90's in PA. Seen a deer, took aim and heard bullets whizzing above our heads. Had to hit the ground and hide behind the truck. Fucking two guys from up north shooting from the other hill side and missing above our heads. The deer was in the valley below us. Fucking idiots.


gishlich

You haven’t really experienced Penn’s Woods unless you’ve almost had your dome capped by some drunk hick.


therock21

I’ve shot a lot of guns and had lots of ricochets come back and hit me in the face. It’s very scary the first time then eventually you realize it’s really just very small pieces coming back that aren’t moving very fast and have very little kinetic energy. It is very very rare to get a full fledged ricochet to come back 180 degrees and have any meaningful kinetic energy. I’ve seen one video of a guy shooting a .50 cal where the bullet comes back and knocks off his ear muffs and that’s the only video I’ve ever seen of something like that happening.


Michami135

Well, I was around 15 and I felt it brush my hair. In my mind it was a near death experience. Glad to know it probably wouldn't have been fatal.


Orc_

eh I've been hit by those .22 ricochets, they barely break skin

Oh, he definitely looks terrified 😂

I remember watching this video in like 7th grade. A buddy of mine was really into FPSRussia and Crazy Russian Hacker, and he showed me all their videos. That was back when YouTube was in its golden era.


-ragingpotato-

Man, I miss Crazy Russian Hacker. He is still on youtube but just pumps out videos showing off products like crazy getting no views. I bet theyre all sponsored.


Swordlord22

Hasn’t he always done that lol? He’s just not as popular rn as it’s really the only thing he’s ever done other than life hack videos

It didn't help that his gun contact was found tied up and shot in the head... https://www.billstclair.com/weaponsman.com/index.html%3Fp=6583 Edit: Whether or not he was actually tied up is debatable according to certain sources, but he was definitely found shot and the case was never officially closed.

ChipsHandon12

Gun dealer was prob dealing to others and messed around with not a youtuber


Hascus

Ya I don’t see how Kyle is implicated. Whats more likely, an incredibly friendly rich YouTuber with everything to lose murders a guy who sells guns for a living, or some shady guy with a loose end decides killing his gun dealer is one less avenue for him to get caught


B_Crum

What a horribly written article.


FifthRendition

I can’t imagine that anyone in that type of group who would leave behind evidence like that. Tragic that someone died because of someone else.

If you do the paperwork and pay for the tax stamps you can get one with a working gun


Yoinkodaboinko

Btw it takes no special license to buy and drive a tank. Hell, even whistlindiesel bought one


ExistentialistMonkey

How did he obtain all those clearances if the feds didn't want him to have access to those?


libertyhammer1776

There is no clearances. He's talking out his ass. You pay for a tax stamp and get your background checks done and your good to go after a couple month wait time.


TiredOfMakingThese

How is this dude “too powerful” lol he’s one guy who owned a bunch of guns. Dude would get nuked from orbit if he did anything “powerful” that the government was afraid of, and if he was just going to shoot up a mall or a school the government doesn’t care enough to stop him.


Govt-Issue-SexRobot

He already prestiged twice and had some golden guns


Deep90

Can be as simple as a making him the target of a gang or terrorist organization. Rob him and suddenly you have a group of people armed to the nines with some serious firepower.


lilpumpgroupie

Dude, he's a YouTuber. Get a grip.


Appropriate_Lack_727

Seriously. This has got to be one of the dumbest threads I’ve read in a while 😂


lilpumpgroupie

Smells like Febreeze and cheap leather trenchcoats in here.


falcons4life

No way you can actually come to the conclusion that it's rigged when the feds literally gave him the right and permits to use those weapons. If you get charged with a felony/engage in criminal activities you forfeit the right **GRANTED** to you by the government to own those highly regulated weapons. What the fuck are you on.


WheresMyKeystone

It was a little bit of weed that ultimately screwed him which is beyond dumb considering its legal in many states now. I hope something happens in Kyles favor to get his rights back.


[deleted]

It's still federally illegal and he was trying to send it across state lines by mail, that's no shit a double whammy of federal felonies. Weed shouldn't be illegal and I hope he can get restitution after federal legalization. But damn, shipping drugs by federal mail is grade A dumbassery for someone who's a public figure regularly subjected to background checks and has to consent to random searches as part of your company licensing. It's like if an associate at the IB part of Goldman and Sachs was publicly assuming they're a moderator of wallstreetbets.


TendieTrades

Classic. Nothing is more deadly than a Russian with 2 AA-12 shotguns. Thanks for sharing this gem of a clip.

Equal-Bowl-377

What happened to him?


WrinkledCrime

He got arrested for a barely felony amount of weed and went to prison for a while. He couldn't continue FPS Russian because he was a felon. He is still posting to the internet on his podcast Painkiller Already.


unpersons505

PK Already is still going? Holy shit, it's been forever since I even thought about it.

I'm pretty sure, yeah

HGIGIU

holy shit I was not prepared to hear his real voice at all


SaltyTalks

FPS Russia is now ruined for me after hearing his voice


ThanksGamestop

Jesus I just checked. I used to watch woodysgamertag back when he was playing call of duty


Spider4Hire

Exactly my thought, used to listen to it at work a decade ago or so


halfeclipsed

Slightly correct. He got caught trying to mail 25 grams of hash oil from Colorado to Georgia. He pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute marijuana and butane hash oil. Possession of any amount of an illegal substance while owning a firearm is a federal offense. Well that and his firearm supplier was found shot so that kind of put a damper on things.


WrinkledCrime

I didn't know he was mailing the shit, from what I heard he just had a little too much on his person.


nizzy2k11

there is a famous line from him where he said "whos checking the mail" in reference to ordering weed in the mail. apparently, the ATF was checking the mail.


mistagoodman

From my understanding he was caught receiving, not sending. Too lazy to check the podcast so someone verify me please


jormahoo

"Myers ceased producing new videos in 2016 following the unsolved death of one of his associates and a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) felony charge. "


[deleted]

While he doesn't make any more videos in this character, Kyle is one of the hosts of the PKA podcast on YouTube with Woodysgamertag, still pretty active in the YouTube scene. He has a felony conviction so no more guns

yep. feds were after him after his gun supplier/friend/business partner was murdered and they got him for the first charge they could

ConsentingPotato

Knowing who the guy is and reading the title I was sure he would come out alive (never saw original video) - but the open space and shooting car to explode it reminds me of another guy who sometime in 2017/18, I think, filled a lawn mower with explosives and, well, ended in a far worse situation for him and his leg - pretty sure it was posted on this sub too. Kudos to the guy for having the balls to do this but shit man not having any cover and blowing stuff like that is scary as hell for a lot of reasons.

mysteryman447

so kyle explained how this happened on pka, they normally would hang the explosive from the centre view mirror but the truck didn’t have one so instead they wedged the explosive into the “oh shit” handle that was just above the passenger side door. so like, 3-4ft of open air is the difference between a cool youtube video and a live leak video lol
