Fark. Did well to keep his composure.:blink:

They are firing blanks. Was just the muzzle flash that knocked his hat off.

Bet the clumsy cunt who discharged early got the shit beaten out of him still.

Blanks have paper wadding in them that can be lethal up to 10'. Even the gases being expelled from the muzzle can be lethal at point blank. The back of the head is a pretty good target if you want to kill someone. He's exceedingly lucky to be alive.

Son of Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee, was killed by a gun that had a mishap with blanks. Details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Lee

(Technically, a real bullet, that was already in the barrel, was fired at him by a "blank". All a big cock up. Firearms safety, even with "blanks" ...)

Could've been a slam fire, seen it happen a few times when they get old & worn out.
