BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

<ahem>

Stinks to be that guy, but wow, that was funny. And a good shot too. Wonder if it might be a new sport- pistol trap.

I wonder if the warranty would cover that?

So is that product placement, or shot placement?

The best part is that the advertisement that popped up next to the video is for a belt clip xenon flashlight.

So I wonder, did these guys go to the range that day for the purpose of shooting a Surefire X200? Thats wild!!!

That's why I have a surefire that does not attach to a gun. I can actually use it as a flashlight too. So far, that's all it's ever been. Hopefully, its all it'll ever be......


And to hit it in midair, that's pretty cool. I would contact the warranty department on this one.

Yow, that was a good shot.

An expensive shot, but geez. At least they got it on video. Nobody would believe it otherwise.

I slipped the X200B on my G19 and once there it does not want to come off. I cannot see that happening with a Glock. So tell me, was it a Glock?

I guess you can't take Cheney to the pistol range either.

That was not a cheap shot - yuk, yuk! :D

Surefire DID cover the light. He got a brand new one. They didn't attempt to fix it :)

What's the title of the video? Those of us that can't view the direct link can at least search for it...

Doh, I don't even remember what the video was called... the guys on ARFCOM might be able to help find it though.

The video isn't the important part, it's just what happens. I'll describe:

A dimly lit indoor range. Perhaps somebody doing night shooting practice or similar. Buddy looks like he has a SOCOM or a USP or similar, and he's got a Surefire light on the bottom rail. He's rapid-firing, and on about the sixth shot the Surefire comes undone from the rail and gets launched off in front of the muzzle, and the seventh shot he accidentally shoots it right in midair and it's gone.

You have to be quick to catch it.
