Guy blows his own hand off with KSG 12ga when VFG fails

[bulletblood]

Wait, you mean we have to handle firearms as dangerous equipment? Mind blown.

[POLICESTATE]

also why put a VFG on a shotgun? i guess i am not operator enough, the only advantage i see in having a VFG on the pump is being able to cycle the gun one handed against a wall or something if you other arm is disabled.

So you can **** up and blow your hand off.

the fore end should have a flange(like rock river arms pistol) it probably wouldnt have helped in this case with aftermarket accessories


btw has anybody seen that crazy chainsaw grip they sell i assume only for hip shot ammo dumping

Its not for dumping. Its actually for door breaching. Thats why it has a breacher barrel. But the marketing guys over at mossberg decided to sell it as some fancy tactical bulls**t for all the kids who play call of duty. They first sold it as a "zombie" gun back when everyone wanted stupid zombie guns and stuff. The chainsaw 500 was also in the first purge movie.

Now he can use a Sig arm brace without any questions.

Yep

Sorry the guy blew his hand off but if he was hot dogging it, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Exactly buddy......

The AFG works well on a KSG if you have bigger hands, it has just the right hand stop size and plenty to grab on to. I also see no possibility it will fail, unless you tear the pump in two.

I tried one with a big XTM hook hand stop on it- when it HOOKS your hand shooting high brass ammo, it did not feel nice.

I have to admit, I laughed. But no laughing matter, I hope this poor guy heals up soon, that just f***ing sucks.

And I bet he never does it again, lesson learned..

Bellow is an example of it happening with a handgun. The VFG slips or breaks off, causing the shooter's hand to slide in front of the muzzle and take a round. Of course the effects of it happening with a 9mm vs. a shotgun are a lot different.



At the end of the video you can see the VFG laying on the ground.

i can understand getting your hand shot when the gun is a full auto. you have absolutely no chance to stop the gun from shooting during a burst, but the guy was using a pump action shotgun. it is only capable of firing one shot. this means he was mag dumping or acting stupid with the shotgun. either way he was not paying attention to the firearm and his hand position while he was shooting.

i have not seen the video and dont want to is the hand clean off at the wrist any news on his prognosis


it looks like if he had this little cheap hunk of junk on the front of the rail things would have been different

I never really knew the reason that I avoided Kel-Tec and ProMag... until today.

I doubt keltec will share any of the blame for this unless rail itself actually broke or melted.

I would also be curious about the amount of heat that was being generated since you can fire several rounds through the gun rapidly. I have seen vfgs melt off of forends before.

Off of a forend that's wrapped around the magazine tubes?

If it's the VFG that stix213 posted a picture of above, that thing is a piece of **** that wouldn't even belong on an airsoft gun. Even the magpul RVG that also runs about $20 has two cross bolts to keep the thing in place, instead of a stupid little plastic nub like that promag grip.
