[LeftHand-Fu]

Take one Norwegian scientist and one rifle, then add water:

Looks like a SG551 - those Swiss guys have all the nice toys. This guy is from Norway - maybe they get Swiss good toys too.

I be too slow.

Overly dramatic stupid test. Simply put a target in front of the gun to prove the same point.

He didn't do that for science, he did it to make a viral video. If it were done for science(which is already well established with this), he wouldn't feel the need to put himself in front of the rifle for the demonstration.

I'm pretty sure he tested it many, many times before getting in the pool in front of the rifle.

Visible abs bro.

Fail Safe...

I'm thinking it had a "dry run" before he actually tried the real thing.

Oops. Fixed the link in the first post now.

If he had only used a Sig.

Yeah, Mythbusters did this one, too. Still kind of fun to see.

Seems sorta stupid for scientist. What ever happend to using Igore first?

[Snoopy47]

This is well known.

Myth Busters did it, and I've seen it before them as well.

There was no risk. No tests would have been needed.

What would have been impressive if he tested and marked the distance before hand, and stood close enough he could have caught the bullet in his hand.

Otherwise, he stood far enough away to known to have been a safe distance that no prior testing would have been needed.
