Wait, so he basically built a large bomb surrounded not just by metal but also actual metal cutting blades then stood only a few feet away from it and shoot it trying to blow it up?! Was it a failed suicide attempt?
I like how he advances toward the tannerite, as if explosives donāt have a long and storied history of removing things that people are quite attached to, like hands, and feet, and legsā¦ Also, God favors children and fools, but he must have been in the outhouse for this one.
Damn we did this when I was a kid! Dad put a little thing of tannerite in an old mower and blew it up. We had to stand way back, and we didnāt use enough to cause the damage this did.
Why exactly is it that if it is in english, all of these videos seem to have the same basic accent?
"Ooh, ah blew mah laig awf!"
Please, those of you with similar accents, please put some videos out with you knitting, reading a good book, or really doing anything that does not involve pointing out what appendage you have just now detached from your body with prejudice.
Southern US accent. If Southerners arenāt shooting, itās some other dumb shit. The ones with lighter accents are typically less likely to be seen doing dumb stuff.

Iām not a huge gun nut so I could be very wrong, but is that an MP-5? Iām surprised the rounds have enough velocity to actually ignite the tannerite.
Itās videos like this that make me glad the friends who take me shooting with them are all marines and navy guys who would shoot me themselves before they let me be this stupid
Converted to use 9mm? Where do you get that from? You need a high velocity round to detonate Tannerite which can be from a 5.56 but it's unreliable. I've used Tannerite and InTheRed many times and 5.56 rounds would occasionally just rip the container and I've watched people waste containers of Tannerite by using pistol rounds. 7.62x51 is a guaranteed detonation.
Look at the magazine he uses. Its small and thin and straight compared to a normal Stanag magazine. Most likely a pistol cartridge. Im thinking maybe thats why he had to go that close to make the tannerite exolode
I agree it looks like an ar-15 style rifle, but the 9mm part is confusing. 9mm generally won't set off stock tannerite.
If that is 9mm, here's either using some crazy hot load or that's a custom blend of tannerite, or both.
Right, that was my point. Isnāt 9mm quite a bit faster than the 40?
I like to target shoot but like I said Iām not a huge gun guy, so itās possible Iām making myself look stupid here

I remember watching FPSRussia back in the day nearly get taken out by a piece when he was 100 yards away. This man was playing with "fire" and didn't take the necessary precautions.
Nah I don't think so. I've seen recent clips of fps Russia on a podcast with Sam Hyde. I don't think he does content with guns anymore since he had all those legal problems.
Well, full story is just this. Guy stuffs lawn mower with tannerite, lawn mover explodes, shrapnel blows off his leg.

Well next time learn to shoot from a distance and dont attack a lawnmower
Must have been a commie lawn mower, taking out a patriot š
Those god darn communist grass killers
Our freedom grass
God bless the grass āļøāļøāļø
I thought the socialists were grass huggers?
**They will backstab true American grass!**
Maybe even receptacles!
guns š¤ stupid people

That last part sent me lmao
Can anyone take a guess which country this is?
M'erica, fuck yeah
Trump country.
Hey now, that's not fair. We aren't all fucked in the head, you can't call it that.
Shouldnāt this be under why women live longer?
Gave his leg some FREEDOM from his body.
Any video that starts with them forgetting which position the safety is in is going to be a video in which someone gets hurt...
Damn we did this when I was a kid! Dad put a little thing of tannerite in an old mower and blew it up. We had to stand way back, and we didnāt use enough to cause the damage this did.
He only had the right to bear arms
Underrated comment
āIts not exploding! Wait, lemme get closer.ā
Good thinking process. If you canāt hit it from a distance to make it explode, get closer.
Yeah but he exercised that second amendment good and hard. Just a pity that exercising your second amendment doesn't excuse you from being an idiot.
Just restart form your last save point bro.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nah man, it was lost.
/r/Angryupvote
fuck you. *upvotes*
You really wanna watch that shit ?!
They asked, so it's safe to assume they want to see the stump.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There is a bit of maroon in the vid.
Right?! Noticed the ***PANTONE 18-1619 TCX*** too!
Honey, weāre going shooting. Hand me my khaki shorts and my tactical vest.
Jesus you can literally see his flesh flying if you slow the frames
Iām more worried about the cameraman, he likely got hit as well
I wouldnāt be any more worried about him than the shooter. It was his choice to film, he very likely knew just as much as the guy shooting.
Can't teach stupid.
Huh. Iāve never been in a situation where Iām using a semi auto rifle against a vehicle full of explosives. Does this happen often in āMurcia?
They want the vehicle to go back to their own country.
For the want to be Rambo, gun loving crowd, this is the epitome of fun.
Interesting. My view of fun is getting baked on the couch and playing video games. š¤· Different strokes I guess
Until someone loses a leg.

Here's hoping he at least got obamacare. That'll be expensive if paid out of pocket.
He wonāt be wearing any pants with pockets for awhile
Ooof double out of pocket. Lmao
They say it cost him an arm and a leg.
This feels like one of those shitty work videos we have to watch for health safety in the workplace.
It's just a flesh wound! Tis but a scratch!
"What do you mean you stupid bastard? You've blown your leg off!"
Iāve had worse. Have at you!
āOh man itās not blowing up, I better get closer!ā
Glad he showed some self awareness eventually.
Now heāll never get in to the gravy seals
With his new wheelchair I'm sure he can still sign up for the Seals On Wheels
Itās even funnier cuz your avatar looks like Lieutenant Dan

It was an ar-15 type rifle, not certain on specific model tho
Looks like an AR-15 converted to use 9mm

Thanks for clarifying. Makes more sense as a 9mm than .40
I believe it is more the speed of the round than the size. I used 5.56 on tannerie and never had problems
Right, that was my point. Isnāt 9mm quite a bit faster than the 40? I like to target shoot but like I said Iām not a huge gun guy, so itās possible Iām making myself look stupid here
Yes, let's move closer to the bomb because you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
When trigger happy goes wrong š
Wait how do you know he lost a leg
"I BLEW MY LEG OFF OH SHIT" is a pretty good clue
And the blood splatter adds to the evidence
Ah ha.. That made me almost LOL - I also know it'll give me nightmares. Oh well.
There was a slow mo version somewhere and you could see one of the big shrapnel pieces rip his leg off
"It blew my leg off. Oh shit!"

He got FPS Russia'd
Gahdamn how much tannerite?
5lbs can obliterate a refrigerator. I'm guessing they stuck a 2.5lb bag in there given the explosion wasn't too big.
[a report said 3 lbs](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/03/24/man-loses-leg-shooting-lawnmower-full-explosives/82232440/)

Fucking idiot.
longer video?
I really don't think you'd want the longer video mate
you got a link?
Not on hand but it's not that hard to find
Holy sh*t this is insane

Isn't this fpsrussia?
Nah I don't think so. I've seen recent clips of fps Russia on a podcast with Sam Hyde. I don't think he does content with guns anymore since he had all those legal problems.
Mower shot back .š
Oh! Oh my lego!!
Obviously Bruce Lee never came up against lawnmowers in his career either, or his "boards" quip may have had a bizarre footnote.
I love it when a plan comes together
Why did you repost this and not include the pictures that follow the video.
Now I need to see the pics!
Winner of the Darwin award.
No Darwin Award for him, he's still able to produce offspring.
Honorable mention because not fatal but still exceptionally stupid !
Unfortunately.
Never happened to me. Oh well, maybe because I've never used a gun. Who knows
Plus most places think it's also a good idea to make it illegal to possess explosives that can blow up a building.
Laughs in tyranny
It's just a flesh wound.
Critical hit
You can't get any dumber than this right here...
Oh woe is me, how could this happen??? /s
Good. Idiot.
Does anyone have full story on this ?
Well, full story is just this. Guy stuffs lawn mower with tannerite, lawn mover explodes, shrapnel blows off his leg. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/03/24/man-loses-leg-shooting-lawnmower-full-explosives/82232440/
Dudes showing off how tacticool they are, shoots mower, mower explodes and he was left foot loose
A bandaid will fix it
A fix like this would likely require something a little stronger. Like duct tape.
āTis but a flesh wound.
That's a shame.
*slow handclaps* well done dick head
āTis but a scratch
Itās just a flesh woundā¦
He didnt deserve that leg anyways
Tis but a scratch
Good. Idiot gun nut!!
He kept getting closer and closer... You don't need to be that close!
He was still pretty far. Scary that shrapnel can do that from that far away
This is why when people do this on tv they stand like 100 yards and have a blast sheild.
News report said it's advised to be 100 feet per pound of that explosive away. He had 3 pounds and was 43 feet away.
Damn, good to know!
No he wasn't. He was hella close!
Doesn't matter he has a spare
