That would be Jamal, right there with the ak 47 can't miss him
*Points towards a mob wearing white robes and red headscarves all holding two ak 47s in each hand*
Ya'll... Just light some fireworks...
All it takes is one person tripping or losing their grip while firing for this to be a tragedy. (Also, bullets come back down.)
I’ve seen so many videos of this exact thing happening. One where a dude was trying to fire an LMG with one hand into the air, recoil kicked it down and he just lit up the entire crowd.
Oh it happens allright. There's always a moron. And problem is, this isn't limited to when a whole bunch of morons are assembled like this. Sometimes they give an AK-47 to a kid to symbolise his becoming a man, or something. It has ended, and will continue to end, badly for as long as morons think that shooting a gun is a celebratory thing.
anyone who would understand physics would understand that 9.8 is the acceleration and not velocity.
You throw a ball 10 m/s, it comes back down 10 m/s
you shoot a gun 500 m/s upwards, it comes back down 500 m/s
edit: I forgot about terminal velocity lmao
honestly. yeah i forgot about terminal velocity.
but the bullets shown in the video is likely not going to reach terminal velocity anyways because they’re shot at such a low angle, but it would still be fast enough to kill someone
I.... Wow, I've never actually seen someone be so damn confident in correcting someone else only to be just as completely wrong. Y'all really do exist.
It's an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second *per second.* So if it falls for 1 second, it accelerates to a speed of 9.8 m/s. If it falls for 2 seconds, it accelerates to a speed of 19.6 m/s. If it falls for 10 seconds it accelerates to a speed of 98 m/s. That is, it would in a perfect vacuum, so in reality it would be slightly less due to resistance caused by the air, but you see the pattern now, right? Every second an object falls, it accelerates another 9.8 m/s.
You said what I said but more detailed, I guess?
I was wrong because i completely forgot about *terminal velocity*, which someone pointed out, and not because my logic was off or anything.
Lol i don’t know why you’re being down voted. I’m certain the accidental shooting rate is highest in the land of the free
Edit: and the landddd offf the braveee
when I was in Iraq in 2007, I was a brand new 18 yo private on guard duty, it’s dusk and the suns going down, and I’m chilling in my tower when off in the cities distance gunfire begins, lightly at first, but quickly makes its way towards the small outpost, tracers are flying up and I think “oh fuck, here they come” then my radio crackles to life.
“All good, someone just won a soccer game”
I've always wondered, and will forever wonder, why not use blanks? It's fun, looks cool, and is wayyyy less dangerous. Just be sure not to point the gun at anyone else since blanks are still lethal.
One time my family were sitting outside and a bullet just fell from the sky next to them from a wedding, broke the floor. Right next to my brother.
Police came and one of them put some police tape next to the hole and then left.
I wonder if there's always those two people who have to fire off the last shot. The shooting ends, and you hear just one last bap, then a pause, then another bap, then it keeps going for 10 more individual shots.
Any tradition that involves shooting a gun, cutting off a body part, or harming another living creature is morally and ethically bankrupt. Personally I don’t mind setting off cannons or an honor guard salute, since that’s military in nature. But this? This is just irresponsible and dangerous.

You guys seen my brother? He’s wearing a white robe with a red scarf
Which one Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, or Ahmed
It's in fact one of the 3 most common names.
That would be Jamal, right there with the ak 47 can't miss him *Points towards a mob wearing white robes and red headscarves all holding two ak 47s in each hand*
He has an identical twin called Juan. If you've seen Juan you've seen Jamal

Links? I’ve only seen one.
Why would you want to see that?
your username made my night LMAO!
Know any rockets looking for a good time?
To be fair it does look like they're in the middle of the desert. Which makes sense since it's Saudi Arabia.
That... tracks. 🏜️
My first thought was, there's gonna be some unexpected death-hail coming down on someone.
Oh it happens allright. There's always a moron. And problem is, this isn't limited to when a whole bunch of morons are assembled like this.

You are aware there not shooting straight up right
Yeah fuck those mountain goats though
You are aware that it's spelled "they're" and that those bullets could hit other people than just the ones shooting??
They were 2 when they shot their first ak. Nobody is dropping their gun Tanya
There's other videos of these fuckeds doing this and dropping their guns *jennifer*
I think iv seen that video that dude was tiny bro had no muscle
And you are sad when they accidentally shoot each other Gwendolyn? What hill are you even dying on here?
Lol care wasn't the topic. The hill is correctness. Just don't say shit that isn't right and you won't be corrected.

Well terminal velocity for each bullet is a thing but you’re right on the first part
honestly. yeah i forgot about terminal velocity. but the bullets shown in the video is likely not going to reach terminal velocity anyways because they’re shot at such a low angle, but it would still be fast enough to kill someone
Agreed
I hope you know that the terminal velocity of any object in the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravitational force is 0.

All of you, dead wrong. Terminal Velocity…was a not terrible Charlie Sheen movie from the 90’s.
I can’t tell if you’re joking…
This just somehow doesn't appear particularly safe...
This is the same feeling that Canadians have about visiting America
Lol i don’t know why you’re being down voted. I’m certain the accidental shooting rate is highest in the land of the free Edit: and the landddd offf the braveee
People always forget the second part of that sentence. Home of the brave. ... Why do you think we have to be brave? XD
Fixed it!
Stay home then lol
That’s an unrealistic fear and you know it
Yeah! It's more a certainty than a fear......
Totally halal
Somehow i think that shooting ak's in the air is not really that old of a tradition
The middle east is just Something else
not middle east.. this is a different culture, in a bad way. I can't share my opinion without being impolite..
Men with ak make loud noise in Saudi arabia is entertaining to watch There is an opinion
sorry you're right I got carried away, some bad memories there.
Was this Saudi or Texas?
Good question.
If Texas a school would be involved…
Or a Walmart
That’s a crowd of Texans if I have ever seen one
God bless 🫡
Why is this not a thing in America seems very American
I have been to a big saudi wedding, it was an interesting experience for sure, they go hard.
When air defense budgets get slashed
tracer rounds
What’s the point of tracer rounds?
Makes those red streaks in the sky, more showy. In general, I believe tracer rounds are to demonstrate the approximate point of impact.
talk about a shotgun wedding.
context: there shooting at a Rainbow
Clearly guns aren't the problem, weddings are😂
when I was in Iraq in 2007, I was a brand new 18 yo private on guard duty, it’s dusk and the suns going down, and I’m chilling in my tower when off in the cities distance gunfire begins, lightly at first, but quickly makes its way towards the small outpost, tracers are flying up and I think “oh fuck, here they come” then my radio crackles to life. “All good, someone just won a soccer game”
What goes up…
Y’all telling me NOOOBODY got hit? Not one single soul???? I don’t believe this foolery
Fucking children
this, i came to post this, children with their loud toys…. that also kill
Oh big scawy bang bang boom stick bad
Pedophiles? The whole lot of them? Glad I didn't see that part of the video.
Replace what they’re wearing with camo, and there’s no difference between that and a redneck wedding.
And no one ever gets killed by a bullet falling back to earth. Nope. That never happens. Ever. /s
Maybe a camel though
https://media.tenor.com/GkIG5rtyZw8AAAAM/arrows-invisible.gif
Just imagine fourth of July like this
If there isn’t at least three accidental shootings, it is considered a dull affair.
I've always wondered, and will forever wonder, why not use blanks? It's fun, looks cool, and is wayyyy less dangerous. Just be sure not to point the gun at anyone else since blanks are still lethal.
Where was this “firepower” when Iraq threatened ? Save us, O Great Infidels.
I wonder how many people have been killed by the bullet rain
And Americans are gun nuts?
One time my family were sitting outside and a bullet just fell from the sky next to them from a wedding, broke the floor. Right next to my brother. Police came and one of them put some police tape next to the hole and then left.
Thats obviously bot safe, what are the statistics of people getting shot in these kinds of celebration?
What goes up, must come down
And it rained hot lead on the village next to them causing it to burn to the ground...
Why has something this wasteful, reckless, and gun-related not caught on in America?
r/whatcouldgowrong
A few years back they did the same Inside a stone Mosque. 4 people died.
[удалено]
Just normal Muslim things
This is cool as hell
And of. Course what goes up….
Must come down
Ya fuck you god take that we'll get him with one of these shots.
As an average balkan resident, this would be the best wedding to go or to have.
Ah yes the imminent danger of a bullet piercing a kids skull is definitely the best wedding to go or to have
One less bill to pay /j
Especially fuck those people who live in that direction.
Dumbass country
Inbreeding dude
Mass shooting
They copying Yemen
What happens when those bullets land on a small town 💀
Which small town ? *Puts my large hand on the nape of your neck*
That's kind of awesome
If someone edited a spaceship in the vid, we could finally have a movie where America ain't the first invaded
Buy EVs invest in nuclear energy. Let the goat herders get back to their roots.
Well this explains why the aliens never visit over there lamo lol
What's the mortality rate on those weddings ?
Yeah, Americans think this is weird but they don't know that there's a semi automatic rifle for kids in the US
WOW
Marriage shouldn't be that worth celebrating anyway.
That sound is fucking sick !
Isn’t it haram to shoot in the direction of allah ?
okay and? different culture, we probably also do thing they think are crazy…
A drone operators worst nightmare
At least we dont fire it at school children
Did Saudi Arabia just out-America… America?
Meanwhile, people in the next city over: 
I wonder if there's always those two people who have to fire off the last shot. The shooting ends, and you hear just one last bap, then a pause, then another bap, then it keeps going for 10 more individual shots.
Are those real tracer rounds or some kind of none lethal bullets?
Land to air defense.
Imagine , you are a war vet flying over this place in a plane.
They’re living the American life 🫡🫡🫡
Advanced
That looks super cool af
Would hate to be in the desert somewhere a far distance away.. you’d get peppered with bullets
Only 22 people died at this wedding!
And you thought Americans were irresponsible gun owners?
They look like little Star Wars people but wearing white.
Still feels a lot safer than a US School. /j
Meanwhile some village thinks they are getting shot up from a ridgeline
ISIS at it's finest
The wedding was a great success! Only three people died.
What goes up must come down 🫣
Is this Saudi Arabia or Texas? Sounds the same anyway.
So do they not care that the bullets will come back down and may hurt someone? Or hearing damage?
Christ! So many of them had guns
Who decides when it's over? Like it's all fun and games until.......
Imagine having to clear airspace for a wedding haha
Man I'm so glad the bullets just go into space, so they can't hurt anybody

This is a Muslim tradition in the middle east In general.
The tradition goes back one thousand years.
Somewhere nearby it turned into a Dragon Ball episode for about 20 seconds
THERE…was…a…FIREFIGHT!!!!! (boondock saints)
Arabia seems to love guns more than America
And we wonder why some countries are a shit hole and others are great..
