The sniper shooting the revolver out of that guys hand was incredibly impressive.
heard about the GIGN doing a similar thing, marksman shot though a hostage taker's hands and his handgun, apparently in prison afterwards he was then known as Jesus
So it can be done....so the troupe while rare is POSSIBLE.....se we can enjoy it in movies and see it as an example of how skilled the movie gunfighter is
The suspect from that Columbus incident actually went of his way to make sure that one of the responding officers passed along his compliments to the SWAT marksman
Absolutely that marksman likely saved his life. Rare occasion where a sniper saved the person he shot at.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq in ww1 snipers were often ordered to just try and injure thair target to overload the enemies hospitals.
I like your use of real footage and events to explain the possibilities of doing such.
Indeed...now that is attention to detail...
@@eamonnclabby7067 and even experts are dumb
Yes.
kind of a necessity in this one, theres plenty of movie footage of unrealistic bullet disarms but I can't for the life of me think of any films where a character accidentally discharges a weapon into themselves like a moron
The pistol shot by the sniper was actually immortalized in as a trophy with the inscription "The Shot Seen Around The World" due to the situation the pistol was shot being captured on film at the very moment it was shot.
Saw that it was amazing
I would like to mention that an off duty officer in Florida had a similar experience where a suspect tried to rob him but the officer somehow managed to not only win the engagement but did so by having the bullet he fired into the barrel of the suspects gun. Given the circumstances it definitely was not intentional but astonishing none the less.
Excellent...wonder what his horoscopes were for that day..??
Very curious! I wonder what are the odds were? They must be astronomical!
@@BHuang92 "One in a Billion" according to this headline: czcams.com/video/XEeljF3xUjs/video.html
@@BHuang92 To the point it is hard to believe. There are documented cased of persons disabled by an accidental shot exactly on their weapon: it did not resulted in an unlikely entry of a bullet into the canon but into weapons shards becoming some of sort of particularly dangerous schrapnel, getting inside the head/body of the disabled gun holder. Potentially as lethal as a direct shot but less reliable.
I think the more important thing here is did he ride his luck and buy a lottery ticket.
I have seen news footage of a Canadian police sniper shooting a pistol out of a man's hand but the circumstances where very specific.
1. The situation involved was a man waving a gun around in an aggressive manner. He'd fired some shots but he didn't appear to be targeting any bystanders or the police who were trying to deal with the situation. It looked like a genuine case of someone trying to commit suicide by cop by provoking them into killing him.
2. He was outside his home in the driveway and it was broad daylight.
3. The standoff had been going on for some time and the man was getting tired. He finally sat down on a chair resting his elbows on his knees and dangling the pistol between his legs so the pistol was essentially braced in place and, if the shot accidentally triggered the pistol, the round wouldn't be flying towards someone else.
4. The shot was fired by a police sniper with a scoped rifle and not by a regular patrolman with a service pistol or carbine.
5. The shot was fired at less than 75 meters (roughly 80 yards) and the shooter had roughly 40 seconds to make adjustments and time his breathing cycle.
6. The pistol was a large frame semi-automatic (possibly a Glock though it was hard to say for sure) so it was a fairly big target. The sniper also had a good angle so there was little danger for a ricochet hitting the man in the legs.
7. Judging by how quickly other police moved to tackle the man this had already been coordinated and approved by the negotiator.
So yes, in a one in a million situation a police officer can shoot a pistol out of someone's hand. By should we expect a regular patrolmen with a service pistol, shotgun or carbine to do it against a moving target in poor light when missing could mean an officer or a bystander being killed? Hell no.
Generally , the rule on this is: do not try unless you have a downright supernatural ability .
I do sometimes wonder about the capricious or kindness of the fates..my current excuse is I,m reading an excellent Conn Iggulden book about Ancient Greece ( Lion )
Johnny, you downright NAILED it! I can feel my gramps, who was a career cop after fighting in Korea, smiling from his USMC bar in the afterlife!
"Get fancy, get killed" was one of his sayings.
Thanks man! After university I was a Sheriff for several years so this was a subject I did have some experience with.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq peace and love from the thin blue line across the pond....thank you for your service ,sir....E
Ah, well, US cop AND USMC - that's certainly an overdose of Kool Aid
I have watched the gunfight from Unforgiven very closely many times. Often in slow motion. I absolutely agree that it is the very best example filmed to date.
I trained for years and years in both pistol and rifle shooting before going into the Canadian army. The ability to obtain a good sight picture quickly is still with me forty years later.
It should be noted that double barrels were particularly popular in the west. Firing both barrels was preferred because misfires were common.
Here on the wirral peninsula, getting both barrels ,usually signified a verbal onslaught...usually from an irate significant other....
Shot guns where also very popular because you can use bird shot for greater Variety of game being birds.
Solid shot for large mammals, buck for buck/deer literally.
The Winchester model 1887 made over 3 dozen bird species in about a week before the USA put laws in place
Daniel Myron LeFever 1883 hammerless shotgun had great influence on this Winchester.
Britain & the continentals foresaw this hunting problem before it occured & britain changed bird laws as far back as the 1820's in responce to the hammered black powder shot guns that became common in the 1790's made notable Joseph Manton considere3d the father of the modern shotgun from 1766-1835.
Needle fire hammerless shotguns of all sorts existed as far back as the 1830's in Belgium & France.
Though centre fire rounds existed since 1808 they where had no caps till the French clement Pottet in 1829 that where only perfected till 1855 due to many problem especially concerning safety for the user.
Oldest centre fire hammerless shotgun I am aware of is a British Joseph Lang 1864.
Have seen older European centre fire shotguns but all had hammers to my knowledge.
Really America got into Shotguns quiet late compared to Britain & the continent.
Yanks love their pistols like revolver they try to take claim through colt of 1835 but The first percussion revolver was made by Lenormand of Paris in 1820 and the first percussion cap revolver was invented by the Italian Francesco Antonio Broccu in 1833.
Black powder revolvers go back to late 16th century Europe & 15th century china with no surviving examples.
Communist china destroyed so much of their history.
only writings out side of china remain sadly.
Germany has most of the oldest Matchlock revolver example I am aware off.
Sorry for the length but I thought this would interest you (Lord Kiltridge).
@@eamonnclabby7067 Not just in the Wirral.
The fact that it took place in the saloon is rather apt as most shootout happened there, something which is foreshadowed with the story of English Bob and his drunken fight in a saloon.
Clint Eastman does often commit the cardinal sin of fanning his pistol, something Bat Masterson held in contempt.
How we visualize how we'll do in our first gun fight: _John Wick_
How we actually do in our first gun fight: _The Naked Gun_
How we might actually do with enough training and experience: _Unforgiven_
True story: the first contact I was in, the lead scout put a round from a single well aimed shot right through the receiver of the other guys rifle, taking the rifle out of the contact. Too bad old mate was carrying his rifle in front of his chest when that happened or he might’ve lived to make a useful detainee.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing a real account of this. Love hearing from veterans who've seen such things.
The DEA dummy is Lee Paige who said before shooting himself "I'm the only one in this room professional enough, that I know of, to carry this Glock 40." He had told the class the handgun was empty when it wasn’t.
Paige tried to sue the DEA for releasing the video claiming it invaded his privacy and ended his ability to work, give motivational speeches and suffered humiliating comments toward him and his family not only on television but at grocery stores and restaurants.
He should just be happy he didn't terrible hurt himself really. Or shoot a kid in the classroom.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq some people just do not know when to stop....
Always good to see blazing saddles used as a reference it’s such a masterpiece of a comedy
It’s twue!
Another thing to note is that it is almost universally taught to law enforcement and military personnel that if the situation gets to the point that requires use of a firearm, you ALWAYS shoot to kill. Failure to do so puts your own life and the lives of others in immediate jeopardy as now the opponent will most certainly use lethal force in response.
Exactly thanks for adding this
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq sadly the aftermath is worse, for both Police and service personnel ,have been privileged to look after lots of veterans here in our creaking but still functioning NHS, well done on this , phasers on stun doesn't cut it for me....professional bystanders/ TV anchors have all the answers ....apparently...E
I like how when he d agent shot his leg on accident,he then used that as an example for his gun safety class
If there's one man who can shoot a weapon out of someone's hand ever time, is no one other than Lars Andersen. (He uses bow and arrows)
Lars is not to be messed with
His arrows fly with a homing system. He catches an the incoming arrow blind folded and shoot it back at a moving target. This is the true definition of pride, it is achieved through hard work, blood and sweat.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq indeed
That sniper shot is legendary. And definitely only in America 😂
A kentucky cop shooting himself in the hand… not sure I’d trust a force that could produce that level of incompetence
Same with that dea agent
you seem rather incompetent to reach a logical conclusion.
😂 then dont trust your armed forces because negligent discharges happen , have happened and will happen.
There's been ND'S of everything, up to and including tank main guns plus missiles.
I laughed my ass off watching that DEA
"AGENT" blast himself.
Another alphabet agency 🤡
The footage of the cops shooting themselves made me realise how depressing it is when anybody says that "only trained cops should be able to own guns"
As a person who worked as a police officer for two years, you’d be absolutely SHOCKED by how little training police get as a result of lack of funding.
I attended one of the highest rated police academies in North America, the “Department of Public Safety Training Academy” in Sitka Alaska. The training period lasted 4 months, and amounted to little more then a crash course.
Once on active duty, we only received firearms refresher training once per year. We were SUPPOSED to be able to request ammunition to practice at the range on our own time, but we NEVER had any extra ammo to spare for such a luxury. I was also supposed to receive ongoing training multiple times throughout the year as a new officer, but we never had the budget to actually send me…
Also, most of the time, I was literally the only officer on duty in my area… no backup to call besides a whole different department.
People seriously have no conception of how desperately underfunded AND understaffed the majority of US police departments are. And the whole “defund the police” movement made things a whole lot worse.
Just remember that the next time you see a video of a cop screwing up, or not knowing the law in his area. They basically showed that dude a PowerPoint presentation, handed him a gun and a badge, then put him on permanent night shift (rendering him basically delirious with exhaustion).
What a world.
@@kgpspyguy
Wow. That really is worse than I first thought. Thanks for sharing. Suddenly a lot makes sense with that contect
One film that has to be mentioned because of the hero's TOTAL RELIANCE on shooting the gun out of someone's hand: *Rustlers' Rhapsody* w/ Tom Berenger as "Rex O'Herlihan, the Singing Cowboy." (a comedy poking fun at old Westerns) The Good Guy ALWAYS shoots the Bad Guys in the hand. ALWAYS. Rex's practice targets are even silhouettes of hands w/ revolvers in them.
The FBI Miami shootout had at least one agents 9mm going down after being shot. Likely unintentionally, of course.
I was just telling a student, "Trick shots are best left to Annie Oakley and you ain't cute enough to be her." We both laughed, lol.
3:05 - Two to the chest , 1 to the head means that last one is put in when they are already down. It's a finishing shot we use in combat so you don't have to worry about them getting back up as you are still in a combat area. You don't try to shoot them in the head while they are still up. That's just silly.
I've only ever seen a disarming shot twice. One was the Columbus sniper shot, and the second was back in the 90s when a guy was holding a hostage by an apartment window. He had the gun pointed at the hostage, but he turned it away for a few seconds while talking with a negotiator. That was enough time for a swat officer to take his shot. From what I remember the officer who made the shot actually got reprimanded for taking such a risky shot. I wish I could find footage of it.
I remember the footage. If I remember right the SWAT officer was damn close when he took the shot and he or another officer tackled the hostage taker immediately.
There has been trick shots. In the past that were quite amazing. Annie Oakley was something out of this world. With her aiming and shooting abilities. Some of her records still stand today. The reason she was so good at shooting was mostly practice. She started shooting at a young age. To feed her family as she got older people would talk about how this little girl could shoot and handle different guns. She shot lever action rifles and pistols with deadly accuracy. She would put on shows in towns and make bets with the very best shooters of the time. She fell in love with a sharp shooter and joined the Wild Bill show and traveled to England to show the King and queen her abilities. She was one the could shoot a gun out of someone's had. She would shoot a cig out of the mouth of someone everytime. Ya she used special ammo most of the time. Like I said before she is one that could easily shoot a gun out of the hand of someone. I think she had an act where she did just that. It was a very expensive act so they dropped it out of the show. Also they had a hard time predicting where the bullet would end up. Hitting bystanders on accident. There were quite a few people hit and even killed from ricocheting bullets. These were never published. If they were it was always the fault of the person standing in the wrong spot. Today we know that ricochet bullet can't be predicted. Back in the 1800s it was the people hits fault for standing to close. It's amazes me how different things were a hundred and fifty years ago.
Moral: Don't shoot to disarm unless you're prepared both for the consequences of a total miss, and also for the consequences of a kill shot.
Thank you for mentioning leg shots. As far as police go any time you point a gun at anyone thats a signal you intend to end their life. There's been numerous times where just because you're shot it doesn't incapacitate you, leaving danger for the officer and others. Its unfortunate but when law enforcement have to draw their weapons they have to go the full measure for their safety and that of others.
Exactly. A gun fight is an all or nothing occurrence.
Then again, there was at least one incident where an attempt at a "disabling shot" to the leg hit bone, and bounced straight up through the body, nicking the heart
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq I can and did testify to that...never had to reverse my car( family inside) at 40mph ,when he drew a bead on us..an interesting neighbourhood that I live in...
Even if you manage to hit the leg, there's major arteries to worry about.
See Black Hawk Down for an example, Mark Bowden talked about it in the book, and it's shown in the film.
Or the North Hollywood Bank Robbery shootout, for another real-life example.
Not about the leg but a great quote about shootouts: 'A sucking chest wound is nature's way of telling you that you've been in a firefight.' Michael Herr - Dispatches
@@TheMaxWhoKnewTooMuch The femoral artery. Hit or cut that, and the person bleeds out in about thirty seconds
Excellent love how you keep coming up with new variations on your basic idea- although Obviously Robocop and Data could safely make disarming shots IRL
I love the new variety of videos you’ve started to do man keep it up!
I remember reading that a soldier named Hal Baugarten got his rifle shot while he was behind an obstacle. Since he was on Omaha Beach on D-Day when this happened, the chances are higher.
I really like this type of video you should do more of these! Great video as always
Loving the variety in your recent vids!
Your videos are truly rare gems on CZcams.
Thanks man 🙏
Shooting the pelvis is a disabling shot. Though, it still requires multiple rounds. Unless, of course, you’re using a shotgun. Or a rocket launcher.
5:04 I'm pretty sure LoneWolf took direct inspiration from this event. In one of the game missions, you have to prevent a person from "catching the bus", and in order to win you have to disarm by shooting his gun with your sniper rifle. Moreover, the movement of the person in the video is very similar to the guy from the game. Pretty cool
Just saw a video of US Police officer shooting a purp in the hand (not intended) disarming him and he was eventually captured.
We all know about OJ, but damn was he funny in The Naked Gun.
Naked gun has the most realistic gun fight
Great video Johnny, I got into your channel from all the ww2 stuff, but the rest of your content is phenomenal. Keep up the great work
Thanks Jake!
Dude shooting himself in the gun safety course.......I bet he still gets shit for that. His nickname has to be Chedder Bob now
There was also another incident where police shot a gun from a suicidal man laying on a porch with a revolver aimed at this own chest. Marksman shot the revolver and I belive they took the man into custody without major injury.
For a Long Time, I've always thought that Shooting a Gun out of Someone's Hand was something that's Awesome and anyone can do if you're trained with a Gun, but boi I was Wrong when, and I Learned of that when I Entered Highschool, after Learning Ballistics, Trajectory, Projectile Speed and more, I've instantly accepted that Shooting a Weapon out of Someone's Hand is Quite the Challenge and Achievement in its own Right, but as The Rule of Cool States, if it makes the Character look like a Badass, then Logic can be Thrown Out the Window, even though its one of those Actions that is Plausible but Challenging to Pull Off.
But Hey its Fun to Watch it in Fictional Media so Why Bother looking at the Logic in it, as Long as you Enjoyed it, and it made the Character Cool, then its Fine (I Guess).
Amazing and Informative as Ever Johnny!
I love that you Mixed Movies and IRL Clips to Compare Reality from Fiction! Hope to See More of it in Similar Videos like this in the Future!
Keep up the Amazing Work, my Friend!
Keep the Good Stuff Coming!
I do think it's cool to see from time to time! Especially on larger than life cowboy movies. I mean it is technically possible just bonkers to try in real life.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq Exactly, took the words right out of my mouth, my Friend
Doc Holliday did it once. Ain't that a daisy?
Most of the time-for less skilled combatants who actually care if they survive- if a bullet hits the hand, and the hand is held in front of the body, the bullet could pass through the hand and hit the torso as well at most ranges and angles. This would result in wounds to the hand AND center mass.
The Army ingrained *"AIM CENTER MASS!"* into me so much that I don't even do head shots in video games unless required. Hunting wild game is another, matter however... they don't shoot back!
That's how the military trained me to shoot. Always aim at the center mass, you ain't Annie Oakley.
I remember a local incident, probably late 90s, early 2000s, where an armed man was held up in a gas station. The cops sent a dog, but he shot it. Next the cops shot him in the leg, but it didn't stop him either. After being shot in the other leg did he go down and later die at the hospital. As for weakness of old pistols, there's historical cases of British officers emptying their revolver into an attacking enemy and still getting struck with a sword or a bayonet. One reason some preferred to carry large caliber, single-shot pistols instead.
This was the exact reason for the rush-to-production creation of the Smith & Wesson Model 1917. American troops in the Philippines were reporting that the .38 Colt revolvers they had were failing to stop charging Moro warriors -- they needed something bigger! The US already had the perfect choice: the Colt 1911 (1911A1 wasn't quite out yet), but there weren't enough of those pistols yet available for the need. The ammunition, on the other hand, had good supply, and S&W already had a double action revolver chambered for .45 Colt; all that was required to shoot .45 ACP was milling the cylinder to accept the rimless round on moon clips. Done, shipped, and lots of American's *didn't* get chopped up by bolo wielding crazies.
And this was much of the ammunition that fueled the caliber wars that continue to the present, more than a century later.
Still, to the point of this video -- even competition shooters can't shoot well enough to reliably hit a gun in someone's hand in the time an incipient gunfight allows, never mind when the gun hand is moving or the light is bad -- and cops in general are NOT competition shooters, most of them are just about good enough to stay qualified.
I was thinking of the exact clip of the swat sniper shooting the gun out that dudes hands at the end
Totally cool video. Hot Fuzz is an absolute classic. Loved the sniper shot hitting the gun and the guy just sits there… What?? Why is every laughing… I’m cool, I’m cool. Perfect
I heard he extended his thanks to the sniper after which I thought was pretty cool
3:49 there are even frangible billets now
There's footage of a swat team doing it.
The dude looked absolutely dumbfounded.
Wait until the end of the video :)
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq oh, yep,that's the guy
Wait, the SWAT sniper footage is exactly like a mission i played in Lone Wolf mobile game! My goodness, so the mission is inspired by actual event!
Glad to see you got the one practical example, I know of, on video. It's not something to count on.
I was wondering if you were going to bring up the famous Columbus disarming shot, good job
If I recall, Mythbusters examined this myth, I don't recall if it was confirmed, busted, or probable.
Take care, and all the best.
the gunner of a Sherman famously shot the gun of a German Panther which was hiding in a barn during fighting in Southern France.
Haha loved the real life examples, those ones always crack me up, especially the DEA agent
I have shot someones gun a couple times. By accident. Playing paintball. Out of literally thousands of shots at people and hundreds of kills. Mark this one as possible but highly unlikely. Now if you are shooting from the hip without taking time to aim it's even more unlikely.
Taking time to aim with no adrenaline poisoning from the other guy shooting back is different, I have cut cards and blown out candles with a real gun. Totally different scenario.
Ian from Forgotten Weapons tells of an incident where a GIGN officer shot a suspect in the hand with his 357 revolver at distance and moving..
Maybe it's one of those case where you bullet goes somewhere and then you say "oh yeah, I was totally aiming that".
Kind of "Texas sharpshooter".
Think he achieved this more than once..
My best hope would be that the Bad is using a two-hand grip, which gives me the chance at center of mass. Bad holding the weapon at a 90 degree angle one handed tells me he's watched a lot of movies.
Why was the gun loaded at the gun shop? Someone got fired.
I believe that when you get shot, your adrenaline start kick in, ignoring incapacitated and pain like that DEA you mentioned in the video. I’m glad you mentioned the Columbus SWAT sniper shot video. That’s one was worth the mention though that was pretty risky and unnecessary for a sniper, I’m amazed of how sniper like him could pull it off.
Great video!
Again I think you should do the The Colt Peace Maker
I'm sure someone tried back in the day. But who knows how it went.
These are the guys who wants to take your guns.
i think Mythbusters tested this as well if i recall, more from the physics question of: will a bullet from one gun impacting another gun have enough force to knock it out of someone's grip? dont remember how they ruled it or what season/episode it was from, but i remember them rigging one pistol to shoot at an old revolver or something iirc. i dont think they really accounted for surprise/reaction to impact shock though. or for how whats probably more likely to happen in that situation is that you're gonna shoot a hole in somebody's hand/wrist/arm.
i remember seeing that SWAT sniper clip in its entirety waay back in the day too, where he shot the gun out of the guy's hand on the plastic chair. the guy was basically sitting in the chair and threatening suicide in the middle of the street, and police were afraid he'd decide to point/shoot at police in order to trigger a "suicide by cop" scenario, and they'd tried talking him down and were not getting anywhere. i believe the sniper himself suggested attempting the shot and was surprisingly approved, and succeeded! he wasnt at a crazy-far distance away from the target as far as sniper-shots go, and it shows how powerful a sniper-rifle is from how that revolver went flying out of the dude's hand.
Re: Mythbusters - IIRC, they ruled it plausible under the right circumstances. They obviously couldn't completely account for the human factor as they're not going to start shooting at humans. But IIRC the robot hand couldn't hold onto the gun, especially when hit from a perpendicular angle. Getting hit straight on was harder to shoot out of the hand since most hand grips are designed to go backwards with recoil anyway.
there have been shootouts where a bullet struck a suspects gun but its usually attributed to tunnel vision where the officer focuses on the gun, and fires where they are looking. Highly trained fighters, like special forces personnel, are trained to not look at a weapon when firing.
Yeah one those countless "fancy but impractical" shooting tactics from Hollywood, is it technically possible, sure, would it be likely to pull of in a realistic gunfight intentionally, not really.
Another one of those fancy trick shots that Hollywood thinks is common tactics would be shooting a feeling suspect in the legs in a way that's non-lethal, could it be done maybe, but you'd need to hit a specific spot to miss the major blood vessels in the body to not have the suspect bleed to death before they hit the ground, so it's not really a practical non-lethal option.
possible but hard af
I know you didn't feature lucky luke french cartoon character can shoot a gun at someone elses hand, disabling/destroying cause some ways are impossible to replicate the moves/stunts we all know its a cartoon
Could you cover the trick shot from Red Dwarf: Gunmen of the Apocalypse?
Center Mass or if armored center groin. Train for nothing less.
shooting on tires and consequently hitting civilians happened in my country as it did recocheted back after hitting pavement.
Yikes. Not good.
Great video JJ. Its an enduring myth in films that one! A bit like the guy who gets blown ten feet in the air when shot by a pistol. Not gonna happen. Physics says “no”.
Pesky gravity....
I love blazing saddles
I once saw - on one of those reality programmes - the policeman empty his magazine at the driver of a car from a distance of almost zero feet. Apparently he hit the guy once - in the wrist.
Knockbacks in movies always make me cringe and laugh in equal measure...because Newtons 3rd Law...
(for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction)
Get Smart was bad for this.
I've been targeting paper hands for years. 🙃
There is a documented case during the raid on Cabanatuan prison camp in the Philippines during WW2 that a Japanese soldier shot a 1911 pistol out of the hand of an American Ranger as he was trying to shoot the lock off of the gate to gain entrance to the camp. Although I don't believe the Japanese soldier was shooting at the pistol.
Yah it usually just seems to be an incidental occurrence. If you look hard enough every trick shot ever imagined had someone accidentally pull it off at some point.
That's the first example I thought of when I saw this video. It was shown in the movie The Great Raid. Yes, the Japanese soldier most likely hit the pistol by chance, due to firing in the heat of the moment.
It is somewhat common to hit a firearm accidentally in a gunfight. This is especially true if someone is using cover, exposing only a small portion of their body with their weapon held out in front of them. However, even then it may not disable the weapon.
There's a reasonably famous instance of it happening to a french gign member during a plane hostage rescue. czcams.com/video/Q7a5D3sMJKM/video.html around 1:53 in the video
Shame you didn't really cover if a gunshot would disable the weapon, I get that it's still highly unrealistic in any actual firefight but it'd be an interesting thing to consider imo.
I would say that if a gunman were to deliberately shoot a gun out of another's hand, that would end any gun fight. It's a total boss move. The disarmed man would have the option of picking up the gun and getting just a as accurate a shot to his noggin as he attempted to do so. He'd either surrender or, if given the opportunity, run. Like killing someone with a thrown knife, I'm sure it's happened in real life. But like a killer knife throw, hardly more than once in millions of gun confrontations.
counter argument: confirmed Natural 20.
You'll get no argument from me if you roll a nat 20 and I'm DM.
They also had a scene in clone wars where Commander Gree shot the rifle out of Captain Arguyeus's hand
man I love Star Wars but I avoid using star wars clip as Disney is a bit heavy handed on youtube clips
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq yea I understand that, Disney is ridiculous with copyright nowadays
There is a chance for a one hand usable gun like a revolver to make the opponent drop their weapon. But at that point, the gun is probably powerful enough to knock the man out cold with a well placed, but a million times easier shot to the chest.
If you got something like a 44 or 50 caliber revolver, hitting the opponents arm or the gun in any way is going to take them out of the fight. But at that point, they could very easily just bleed out in a matter of seconds, so just go for center mass.
Don’t mess with Willy wonka
This is a banger
If you watch Donut Operator there is a video of an officer who shoot the gun in the hand of the dude he's chasing, it's a lucky shot but damn that's cool
I know I already requested the .50 But I wanna suggest something more different and this would be Weapons and tanks of the Winter and Continuation war since those films are really cool and that part of the war isnt talked about a lot
Yes love the history on the Finnish border. Don't mess with Finland.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Can you do a video about how far bullets can actually travel after being fired from a sniper rifle? I've seen this done in movies and tv shows where the target is really far away from firing range. To be specific about it. The anime Golgo 13 where main character can ridiculously kill his targets even if they are not within range of his sights.
Oh excellent idea I'll add it to my list
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq thanks
Possibly your best video EVER.
However… since I’m a pedant, First, The Waco Kid was definitely able to shoot the guns out of the bad guys hands. I refuse to believe otherwise… because I’m gullible. 2nd, the BEST target range practice scene was in Season 1 of Twin Peaks where Agent Cooper (another real person) was teaching deputy Andy to shoot. 🤣
Hey Johnny Johnson!
Can you do dynamite or plastic explosives seen in movies?
I can try!
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq if budget pressures build, paper bags work....
Just get really really really really really lucky.
I would say yes - but is it as easy as in movies? No. Now, let´s watch the vid and see what you say. ;)
2:24 is it not good putting your hand over the barrel
People only got hit in the hands in gunfights because they had their hands in front of their chests 👍🏻
0:39
Since you included this scene, may I ask that if you redo this video again, may you include the warehouse shootout scene from episode 1 of the Gunsmith Cats OVA?
Specifically the part where Rally shoots the tube magazine of a shotgun held by a gun runner, causing it to explode (which is more unrealistic than shooting the hand, as smokeless powder does not ignite like that).
And since I mentioned Gunsmith Cats, if you ever do a video on the CZ 75, can you mention and show scenes from the anime, given that it is Rally's favorite pistol?
I love the Gunsmith Cats, so I CAN promise you to try and work the show into something soon
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq Rally thanks you by blowing a kiss. 😘
Looks like her thing of always shooting her opponent's hands to disarm them (as shown in the manga) isn't a guarantee to stop them, as no matter how good of a markswoman she is, they won't go down that easily with a mere shot-up hand.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq also, are you aware of the myth that the CZ 75 First Model was supposedly made with some sort rare, invincible steel?
That myth is one of the reasons why Gunsmith Cats mangaka Kenichi Sonoda (and in turn, Rally Vincent) has high praise for the pistol, whether he knows the actual truth or not.
To find out how it came to be, you can find info in post by user in _The Original CZ 75 Forum_ by simply typing "CZ 75 metal myth".
I hope in your future video on the pistol you can briefly mention and debunk the myth.
Oh! And don't forget to show clips of Rally Vincent (who also uses a CZ 75) from the Bean Bandit OVA.
In a real world gun fight, there is nothing faster than pulling the trigger. even as someone who carries a weapon, trains with weapons, and builds weapons. if you find yourself in a situation where someone has drawn down on you and theyre ready to shoot, your best bet for survival is follow their instructions or to flee in hopes of either getting away, or find a position from which you can defend yourself. never assume you'll be John Wick or Jason Borne. Obviously saving your own life and those around you is important, just dont expect the univrse to bend the laws of time and space to make it happen
Absolutely well said and thank you for adding this
You can... with a shotgun
The first Ip Man movie showed Donnie Yen knocking a cylinder out of an 1895 Nagant revolver. If that counts. 😅😅
Thanks Johnny
Love Donnie Yen
