Reality Check - Video Game Guns in Real Life!

@jmsk248
Do you have an statistics or experience to back up your claims? Having used the threat of a firearm in a home break in situation i would argue guns can in fact keep the properly trained carrier safer.

Actual rifle shooting its difficult anyone can tell you that, thats why its a sport the target doesn't really factor in unless its on the move.

@LJNkickstarter Better than being eaten alive by wolves imo. Nature is a cruel thing.

@Kinguard73 If both sides have nukes, no one fights either :P If it wasn't for nukes, the cold war wouldn't have been so "cold" and invading the Japanese mainland in WW2 would have been horrible even compared to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Their plan was to send huge human waves of civilians at U.S troops until everyone was dead. You really want that? More bloodshed just to get rid of nukes?

@cameronrobinson While I understand the importance of field testing, killing 'wilder beasts?' one looked like, for the sake of testing sake was outright cruel. No I doubt they were or going to eat the deer (if any nut case asks…looking at you drwholscool).

This also has nothing to do with supermarket, grocery goods. It was a field test, pure and simple.

@cameronrobinson I wasn't offended, but I appreciate you taking the time to address that. Shows you've got class and appreciate your viewers--not that it was ever in question.

@cameronrobinson While I was offended, I appreciate you noticing some others were, and appreciate you commenting on it.

As a scientist I always appreciate your show, thanks for another great one.

@cameronrobinson We all need to eat food. Blindly accepting meat @ the grocery store & not knowing the process from alive to plate is foolish. As someone who can see both sides I can say the footage you presented was not bad. The animal died in about 5 seconds from a clean shot. Now, If it wasn't a good hit & the animal flopped around & draged its self away, that would probably would have been inappropriate. Good Article for you to do. I think what everyone would like to see are Gel Packs from Mass Effect 1 that INSTANTLY heal you with out any issues, or more crazily Fenix Down from Final Fantasy when your character dies in battle ( and not a cut scene :) ), unless that starts some kind of zombie apocalypse. Keep posting these articles man.

@nyran125tk The U.S. may be in debt, but the government treat armaments like desert; there's always room.

@lpool8 Some Day it will come. The US developed Artillery shells that can dynamically shift them selves the same way as the bullet above listed. Canada now uses those shells in its regular forces all the time, even though they cost a lot more $.

@wearelegion5000 @cameronrobinson I would, but former GameSpot employee and all round wonderful lady Jane Douglas did so already. And much better than I could have. She actually has a physics degree! Enjoy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfdfBF1Covw

The last part of the video was about guns only being able to be used by a specific user, alla MGS4 when you had to unlock any guns you found so Snake could use them even though he didn't have the correct nano machine signature.

@arqe Yeah! Animals are for testing medicine, not testing firearms!

[It's a joke, in case anyone now wants to kill me]

@DiamondDM13 Those things are NASTY. If you don't hold it properly, it can either break your face or your wrist >_<

@hoscba as well as a bunch of Star Trek episodes.

@Nev3rtime Hunting isn't about killing, its about feeding your family and controlling the animal population and at the same time, doing it without making the animals suffer more than necessary. A rifle is really good at doing this.

Without hunters, they could multiply out of control and cause famine, disease, mass migration, destruction of their habitat etc...

I don't want them roaming in my streets looking for food and getting ran over, especially bears. Do you?

Have you seen the wild hog problem in the U.S and other countries? Overpopulation ain't a joke.

@Nev3rtime Being @ the top of the food chain means what to you? How do you feel about a barn with a thousand hogs in it crammed between bars on all sides so tight that they cant turn around for their whole lives, then get walked out & shot in the head with a pressured bolt gun? At least the animals in nature have a chance. How about all those innocent carrots that just soak up water from the ground until you RIP them out of their environments tearing their roots & letting them dry up in the sun before chopping off their lungs (photosynthesis) & throwing their dead carcases in a barrel with their neighbors. Either way, you need to live & so you'll eat what is prepared for you. Our planet is over populated. I can't imagine what it will be like in 75-100 years. Then again I'll be senile, crap my pants & pinching all the nurses butts all day in an death preparation old folks home.

@Nev3rtime real men don't hunt with all that fancy shit.
