I bet this didn't end well....

[rondog]

I'd really like to know how this little experiment turned out....

 

[ambush]

I don't know about the target, but I'm guessing the shooter ended up with a headache and a large knot on his forehead.

 

[hdrk1955]

gotta be a easier way to get a nose job!!!!!

 

[Armed 24/7]

Look at the body "protection" that he has on. And is that a Hitler moustache that I see?

 

[Mortech]

And lets not forget the lead and bullet jacket fragments in the fingers . Also the shooter doesn't seem to have all that secure a shooting grip on that 1911 .

 

[Maelstrom]

It has potential for humor, that's for sure.

Target Practice - 1926 NSAP962

For this demonstration of bulletproof glass, Alvan Jacobson, whose nickname was "the human target," holds bulletproof glass, and wears a bulletproof vest, just in case, on May 17, 1926.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was Gecko45!

Looks perfectly safe to me! body protection + bulletproof glass, what can go wrong?

 

[neviander]

I'm guessing a broken nose.

 

[elrod]

Hey ya'll, watch this!

 

[doc2rn]

Famous last words^

 

[Gottahaveone]

And is that a Hitler moustache that I see?

Or maybe a bloody nose from the previous shot
The safety clothing/equipment they don't show is the diaper he's wearing for when he soils himself. Or am I the only one that has that reaction when seeing the muzzle flash of a .45 from the front?

Reminds me of the guy who developed the modern fire suit for race car drivers.

to prove that he made the best product, he put on a suit and was set fire, to come out unharmed, and challenged any other maker to follow suit, non did.

He grabbed 80%+ of the market....

 

[JTW Jr.]

what is that a xylophone around his waist ? There is quite a gap between the glass , and the waist thing...

I bet they both ended up with a sore forehead , dig the grip and stance on that guy

"Hey Joe, how's that bullet proof vest fit? Looks good, buddy. Just one more thing, I want you to hang on to this piece of bullet proof glass so we can test it."

"Well, OK...but hold my sign, I wouldn't want anything to happen to it."

Apologies to Bill Engval.

Sincerely,

Prof. A. Wickwire

I'll bet that was a controlled recoil round

 

[rickomatic]

Wait....who's holding his beer?

 

[Guns and more]

If I were the shooter, he'd be in danger of losing a finger.

 

[feedthehogs]

Betcha there was no second shot from that limp wristed stance.
I see quite an imprint from the rear sight on the pitchers forehead.

 

[rondog]

I'm sure he got at least a bloody beak out of the deal. Not to mention the eye and ear protection. That would make a great YouTube video!

"Well, OK...but hold my sign, I wouldn't want anything to happen to it."

Spitting soda out of both nostrils. Thanks a bunch.

 

[Seancass]

is it just me or does the "catcher" look like hitler?
