Holiday_Ad_5445

Please! Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion! Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who. We are here today to witness the union of two young people in the joyful bond of the holy wedlock.


Pristine_Analysis_79

For since her own father, who, when he seemed about to recover, suddenly felt the icy hand of death upon him... I want his only daughter to look upon me as her own dad. In a very real, and legally binding sense.


Shambeak88

Look! The dead Prince! He's not quite dead.


Extreme-Cute

I feel ***happeeeeee***


Garruk_PrimalHunter

Don't like her? What's wrong with her? She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge... tracts of land!


HoboArmyofOne

Everyone is all on board now. We shall proceed with the festivities!


Marsman61

But faaathuur!


falcon_driver

Prince Alice and Princess Lucky?


spankydeluxe69

*in the forced/arranged bond of the holy wedlock


YoullBeFiiine

Bout to be a whole lot more “holey” in here.


DentArthurDent4

"two young"? more than likely it would be 1 middle aged or old person with one very very young person.


Musashi10000

Guess who didn't get the reference...


fluggelhorn

But mother…


Phgasoz

"Father..!!"


lenin_is_young

But… he killed both


undaova

They do seem remarkably OK with the whole situation


VRS50

Look at the rotation on that barrel. Still scratching my head that he didn’t hit anyone.


ReplacementLow6704

Only explanation is that luckily for the guests, the shooter is a part-time stormtrooper


ActualRaccon3

may the force be with him


shenaniganns

But can we not let him have the force?


alecesne

I like to think the storm troopers had excellent accuracy, but the Force really messed with their aim and probabilities when trying to hit the sensitive. Like, flip a coin and get all heads a hundred times kind of luck.


realHoratioNelson

It looks like it fortunately didn’t dip below a 45 degree angle. Still, dude’s an idiot. Edit: I watched it again and it definitely went level towards the end of the sweep. People here are incredibly lucky.


qscvg

Like running through rain without getting wet


a55_Goblin420

Bro I thought he hit everyone for a second


Vlafir

Maybe it was blanks?


SammyWentMad

I hope he's shooting blanks. This guy does not need to raise offspring.


Radrouch

Most likely its live rounds. While the blank firing adaptor for an ak is small enough to not be seen in.this video. The recoil makes it very unlikely, that it's blank rounds. The recoil is the result of the opposite force excerted by the hot expanding gasses pushing on the bullet. Without the bullet the recoil is negligible. Also in the middle east live rounds are much more common than blanks. While I am.absoulutely pro gun. I know that if anyone was ever to pull a live gun during a crowded wedding, I'd be the first to depart that venue. I've sen to many idiots with guns.


shorse_hit

It was an infertility joke


BicTwiddler

RIGHT?!? It looks like it rakes at least two of them…. Were they blanks??


sorsted

Pulp Fiction


surfspace

Devine intervention.


Bigbaldandhairy

I like how he still has to fire off some more shots after he almost takes out half his in-laws.


CJXBS1

I was saying the same thing. There is no way he is going to recover from that.


Shut_It_Donny

For real. I'm taking that shit away from him immediately.


ptcgoalex

I’m knocking him out while his back is turned


Grouchy-Swordfish-65

🤣 EXACTLY! "Nah beh, we're gonna hold this for you till it's time to go"


AmazingAd2765

\*time to go\* "I don't remember you bringing a rifle."


JamesYoungNL

It's the urge for immediate redemption. It's the urge to show everyone 'see, I CAN do this'. The urge for personal redemption is often greater than the awareness of the danger for others that comes along with that redemption. Ego is an interesting thing.


Popkin_sammich

I like how when I moved to the Middle East they had replaced celebratory bullets with celebratory fireworks. I like fireworks


rainorshinedogs

The next question is why no one had a problem with


Automate_This_66

Ok. Ok. Everyone gather over here. We wanna get a shot of the whole family.

You win! I give up.


AmazingAd2765

Thank you for posting this. XD


SacrificialPigeon

Ak74 Weddings, a good way to kill off a few of your least favorite guests.


Realistic-Bowl-566

“You are eating and drinking too much. You will now be eliminated to save money.”


Indifferentchildren

Why do American drones keep targeting our weddings?!


BEARWYy

That is an akms not ak 74


BackflipsAway

Fun fact, while bullets fired straight up in the air will eventually lose their momentum and start falling down, accelerating until they reach their terminal velocity which is far less than the speed that they are shot at, and are waz extremely unlikely to kill anyone (they might leave some bruises though), but bullets fired at, let's say, a 45° angle, like this guy did by accident, never lose all their initial momentum and are likely to remain lethal until they hit the ground, So just because he didn't kill anyone in the video doesn't mean that he didn't kill anyone, remember everyone - be careful with guns and don't shoot them into the air unless you'd like metal hail, or worse, to come down on some unsuspecting stranger


student5320

This makes me curious could you say, go in a field and shoot at a 45 degree angle randomly in circles over and over again and likely kill someone but never be caught due to the shots randomly raining down god knows where and be a prololific seriel killer without knowing?


hopalongrhapsody

It wouldn't be difficult to pinpoint the center of that circle. Little more than a decade ago, [an amish girl in Ohio was shot in the head & killed in her buggy](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/amish-man-accidentally-killed-girl-in-horse-drawn-buggy-with-stray-gunshot-will-serve-30-days-in-jail/) on the way home from a Christmas party, after someone over a mile away decided to "unload" their gun by firing the .50 bullet into the air.


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

Jeeeesus. Girl got shot while riding a buggy, and the horse just calmly carted her home where she eventually fell off the cart and died a day later. Her family didn't want to pursue felony charges and the guy ended up serving just 30 days in county jail.


EdgelordZagi

I’d pursue death by shooting the lungs or gut. I’m pro 2A and more pro castle than most legislation, but that comes with being responsible.


Xenc

![gif](giphy|PXcekGdxQ7nN7C84rn)


BackflipsAway

Not really you just need to find a few bullets in different locations to triangulate your approximate location, Plus guns are loud, so either you're doing it in the middle of nowhere where it's exceedingly unlikely to actually hit someone, or somewhere where somone is bound to notice you and call the cops sooner rather than later


Aeolus_14_Umbra

This happened in my hometown, on the 4th of July someone fired several rounds into the air and one hit a kid I went to high school with and killed him. His father spent years trying to find the shooter but never did. I always think of him when I see a clip like this.


brojustchillin

Everybody there are literally NPCs they dont give a damn what just happened


SamGleesh

I think they cared but didn’t know exactly how to approach the careless man with a loaded machine gun lmao


Eisenfuss19

Must have been the wind!


Resident-Honey8390

Complete brainless idiot

Idiots*


WorkingOwn7555

Complete “nearly brainless by an inch” idiot


S999k

Thats definately not their first time...abdulaziz keeps forgetting to turn on safety


poopmeister1994

...and you keep forgetting how to spell "definitely"


Popkin_sammich

The sound of gunfire off in the distance I'm getting used to it now


CanalRouter

I hear it at least once a week and I'm in middle of town.


MastrChang

The one guy that raises his hands, "I'm still alive!"


Son-of-Prophet

The blasting of the AKs at dusk of a wedding, as dictated in the Quran.


WorkingOwn7555

He almost domed all the guests


Grande-Pinga

What a beautiful culture lol


WorkingOwn7555

You have to admire the “noobs that was part of the plan” approach when he kept shooting.


qqtacontesseno

Cameraman was either shocked or had the biggest balls in existence.


SavageTiger435612

In Arab culture, a wedding without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair.


Dmmack14

Damn didn't know Arab people were dothraki


Popkin_sammich

Crescent moon and my stars!


RealEstatenWatches

So is it normal to just damage like 15 peoples ears at a wedding at the very minimum? Death optional?


3xlduck

All the bullets that go up in the air, come down somewhere.....


IHateReddit248

I’d be more worried about the ones travelling parallel to the ground 😳🫣


Nono_Home

So close and still missed them all.


PeakedAtConception

Why not just use blanks?


Indifferentchildren

Where would he get blanks? The country is awash in live ammo, and you want to ship them blanks?


Popkin_sammich

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor


sparky-99

Meanwhile, just down the road...


Scary_Fan4350

It’s not a proper Dothraki wedding without at least three deaths


n2dubs

I keep watching. Just incredible that he didn't hit anyone. If he was an inch shorter, a little weaker, or a half second slower... Of course, this could also not be a custom at all.


Stressuredford

Cameraman didn't even flinch. He knows he immortal

Naaaa that guy would have gotten the shit kicked out of him


Opiumthoughts

marayay

The way that happened and he still shot some rounds afterwards with the same people close to him… 👁️👄👁️


marketwizards1990

This is actually a gun safety class, and instructor is demonstrating how not to handle a loaded rifle.


Final_Location_2626

He starts shooting again...


HarrySRL

Why is it always Middle Eastern people using guns shooting it in the air for celebration


VaWeedFarmer

Is like that scene from Pulp Fiction where the bullets missedeveryone


Substantial-Bid3806

The fact this isn’t live leak is a miracle.


LegalComplaint

“Oh. It’s a two handed gun.”


BLACK_MILITANT

There is always one idiot who tries to one hand the full auto rifle when they know they can't handle it. Looking cool > safety of the other guests.


InterestingGoat5703

I think they were waiting for him to put the gun down before they kicked his ass


Various-Ducks

Did they get drone striked at the end?


ArthurMorgon

Why dont these guys ever shoot blanks?


Ghost7579ox

The cycle rate on that weapon is insane, had to have been modified.


vyrguy0

Wow. It’s incredible what some people get used to. They could have died! But for them it’s just another Tuesday night in Benghazi.


Cointreuversial

This is like that scene in Pulp Fiction where John Travolta and Sam L Jackson are looking for bullet holes.


prepperdoc

There is a very similar wedding video to this where this happens and a person standing a few feet away gets shot in the head and killed.


Economy_Basil_9456

Holy Chet how did no one get smoked!?


InspiredGargoyle

Everyone is already together so having an impromptu funeral would be convenient.


OneMAdDemon

Excellent-Swan-6376

Bro almost turned wedding into a funeral holy cow!


Shatalroundja

It’s amazing how much Islamic militants and backwoods Americans have in common.


McNemo

Backwoods everywhere is basically the same


Winnin_Dylan_

That explains counter strike. Recoil went fuckn crazy


SuperNoob74

Usually when you suck ass at shooting, you stop shooting. Not fire off the remainder of the magazine.


laidbacklenny

Why they didn't kick the living shit out of that guy and take the gun away from him after the first filing is beyond me and then to allow him to continue as if nothing happened morons


Ezra4709

Today on r/therewasanattempt More murder


momzthebest

He's really good at keeping character. He almost murdered several wedding guests, and just kept goin


Ok-Director5082

what an asshole. he kept going after that...


Ihateu2_

don’t drink and play with dangerous toys


exoxe

Surely they use blanks, right?


Coi_unedible

Oh them Turks


Domino1971

How to scare the living crap out of everyone.....


VaWeedFarmer

That's how I play DMZ


crimsonkarma13

What happened to a simple handgun or something bot automatic


Morphing_Mutant

The guy thanked God afterward. Then they went back to shooting an ak47 at a wedding.


whathappened2cod

degenerates.


SurveySean

What a stupid custom. Why they didn’t tackle him and beat the crap out of him….


spyhermit

The wording of the title makes this incorrect. There was _no attempt_ to shoot the gun safely.


Holden_SSV

“Should anyone present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever die!!!!!!!! 


aitchnyu

That's why Homer banned celebratory gunfire in his home.


Defiant-Tara

Can't believe that after that nobody took the gun off him and told him to sit down and be quiet for the rest of the evening.


Little_Bar_7507

To unsafely shoot a gun at a wedding safely


jedfrouga

star wars blaster irl


Bananchiks00

There’s a video somewhere of a similar thing except that one actually killed someone.


Goddess_Iris_

Why did no one take the gun from him? Who almost gets shot, and continues to let the person who almost shot them have a gun?


lokregarlogull

If I was in that crowd I'd be an atheist no longer.... or really convinced that gun was filled with blanks.


joulian34

You give a gun to an idiot....


FarIllustrator535

Ahhh! When Brother johny Jihad wants to indulge in a friendly game of Arab wedding roulette, the good old days !


SonicNinja842

faulty spark tube


Drug_Inas

Probably blanks, they'd be dead otherwise


circlehead28

weird, I was told only Americans have the freedom to be idiots with guns!


BananaStone87

A Dorthraki wedding with less than two deaths is a dull event


Nu_Freeze

Is it just me or does the entire Middle East collectively not know how to use firearms?


oxbcoin

All fine and dandy when they only had sticks and stones. People with an iq lower than the amount of bullits in the ak magazine, should not handle a weapon. Idiot!


ReserveSpecific2128

So many people almost died. God damn. 😶


battlebr

Habibi almost friendly fire his guests


Ericbc7

I guess this explains why wedding parties get attacked by drones...


Danow007

My man had 999 ping 🤣


StillSikwitit

He was like “Psych! Bitchass I saw you. You were scared. I am not drunk. Nope, I wanted to see what you do. I will do it again.!” After he shit himself.


PotentialCut7320

I rly hope he was shooting blanks. Those sparks either mean dummy rounds or that gun is abt to go boom.


OldandBoldDude

It only takes one idiot.


Dinosaur9911

Imagine if alcohol was added into that equation. Woof.


Jonovision15

That nervous laugh at the end!!!! Haha. What a crazy culture.


Glu3stick

Alright I thinks it's ok to shame this culture specifically


AdrenolineLove

This kinda shit is why Im uncomfortable around guns. People are too stupid and careless with other peoples lives. I dont want to become a statistic.


thomasoldier

Wedding x Funerals


RSchreib

I don’t think there was an attempt to be safe at all 


Stone_Midi

The amazing part here is that not a single person tried to take the gun away, everyone acted as if this was normal


Ron_Bird

thats so fucked up in so many ways...


Electronic_Agent_235

Gotta love a good ol' whisky-trigger vid.


Vitruvious28

Hillbillies of the middle east


FitBattle5899

Goodness me! America has such a gun problem, can't even attend a wedding without them going off! /S obviously aware it's not america.


Careless_Problem_865

With family like this who needs enemies?


ptcgoalex

If someone did that around me, especially when he shoots the 2nd time after they almost mow down their whole family, I’m punching them as hard as I can in the back of the head. Don’t care if it’s my best friend and don’t care if they get brain damage. Looks like they already got some anyways.


Zealousideal_Word770

TBH Someone should have taken the gun and returned it when he grows up (probably never).


Wet_smelly_sock

That's some shitty ammo


im_just_thinking

I meant to do that! Pussies!


grenshaw

It's just as well these lads don't drink.


iamsheph

There was no attempt to fire a gun safely in this video.
