Russian prank goes wrong - real or fake?

**scottydont2841** · 11-15-2006, 05:48 PM

i personally think this prank is fake, the cameraman would be more alarmed certainly not focusing in on the shot.

Russian prank

That has got to be a pranked prank.

**scottydont2841** · 11-16-2006, 02:44 PM

yeah i think it is anyway, i mean if it was a real gun bullets would probably be making at least an dent in the back of the box and the cameraman wouldnt stand there filmin.

LMFAO.... most things yep. Dont see why people should hurt another person for nothing. Same thing if someone was beating a lass up.

Fake !

**toxict3arz** · 11-16-2006, 08:28 PM

maybe it was like a realistic BB gun or something

**K-B** · 11-17-2006, 04:00 AM

he's probably shooting blank cartridges.

Even if he used blanks at that close and inside an inclosed area like that, that guy would have been burned and most likely deaf.

**Joefireline** · 11-17-2006, 10:09 AM

Here is why it is guaranteed to be fake: If your post keeps coming out, why would you start shooting inside it?? Why would you have a gun on you in the first place?? As suggested before, why is the camera man not doing anything about it?? And if that was real, they wouldn't show it on YouTube.

**K-B** · 11-17-2006, 10:29 AM

He could have had his ears plugged. It was obviously a set-up fake prank.

ebackhus · 11-17-2006, 02:40 PM

Fake. There was also a lack of recoil movement from the gun.

**scottydont2841** · 11-20-2006, 01:34 PM

i should think it was a cap gun, not firing blanks.

**forcifer** · 11-20-2006, 06:38 PM

about camera man: most of those types of videos dont use camera men. they just set it up somewhere. it was very obvious that it was a fake though. no shell...

**DJ-Zep** · 11-20-2006, 07:04 PM

Who keeps a loaded gun in a handily placed pocket when sending mail?

**Spatcher** · 11-21-2006, 07:56 AM

@Zeppy - Russians

But that obviously was a fake. They wouldn't have placed it on a Hidden Camera TV Show if the guy actually died.
