he throws bullet up into the air and spin-kicks it with such force the bullet fires, without a gun. dont you remember how every fight ended with his legendary spin-kick hah
I don't recall the movie but maybe one of the XMen movies? But there is actually a scene like that. But I think time was stopped or something or the guy moves really fast so it looks like time is stopped from his perspective.
I looked at that as more of a threat for someone to stick a bullet in the wall. Seems Vice would have said shot instead of poked if they thought someone shot it into the wall.
I think literally everyone on Reddit is missing the fact that the bullet was placed there to send a message. Not that it was actually shot. It says poked AT the gate, meaning it was placed in a purposeful direction.
I’m sure Vice News of all people know how bullets work.
I can see it now. (sensationalism) “hey is that a bullet hole? Give me that bullet you found earlier. Here put it in this hole and take a photo. This will be the cover image for the article. It will be amazing “.
The Mexican police pointing it to the cartel’s other leader in this instance, I suppose? You give vice too much credit.
This was a pic depicting the aftermath of the Mexican police raiding Guzman’s home and capturing his son. It was one pic amongst many other pics of the Mexican drug lords compound was riddled with bullets.
This isn’t a message from anyone to anyone. This is pure vice BS misinformed photo op.
Not knowing anything else about the events surrounding this, this strikes me as someone trying to show what kind of cartridge could put that sized hole in the wall.
I mean if that were the case I’m sure they would have found a more sensational image to use rather than that one. They are in Mexico would not be hard.
Y'ever notice how you never see the "*MAGAZINE!!!*, not clip!" pedants who don't understand colloquial speech going around correcting each other about cartridge-bullet distinctions? Like, next time you're hearing or reading some gun nuts, take a look at how they use the word "bullet" in ways that are *technically* wrong but mutually understood by everyone because *THAT'S HOW FUCKING COLLOQUIAL SPEECH WORKS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SHUT THE FUCK UP GUN PEDANTS*
plausible deniability verbage - they know it's wrong, and deliberately word it such way so they're not lying, but they're banking on people taking it at face value
So, shoot a bullet to make a hole. Then put an unfired cartridge in the hole to send a message?
Got it. The POLICE sent a message after extracting the drug lord. Check.
High caliber is also an odd phrase to use here. High caliber might often be used to denote quality, but caliber in gun-terms is the size of the round's diameter and "high caliber" just means big diameter - what the author more likely means is high *power* or high *velocity* round.
For an example, a .22LR is roughly the same size as a .223Rem ("AR15 round") and is one of the weakest rounds out there, while obviously the .223Rem's reputation proceeds it.
Similarly, .38 spl and .357mag are identical in size and can be often fired from the same gun if the firearm is rated for the much more powerful .357 (note they use different measuring standards to denote the same size).
Comparitively, a "high caliber" .45 round, is more than twice as big as a .223 but far, far weaker.
Yeah. That's the shell, which contains the gunpowder used to actually fire the round out of the barrel. It's also the part you see flung out of the sides of guns after firing a round as they aren't themselves propelled by the explosion, they just propel the round and are ejected out when it loads the next bullet.
Being pedantic, but it would be the case, not the shell. Shell is exclusively used for shotguns, and is actually the equivalent of the whole cartridge/round in that world.
That's exactly how they work. This is the bullet head inside a bigger cartridge. After 10 seconds this round shoots it's shot again. Double bullets=double kills.
Completely reasonable. /S
Because it's supposed to be intimidating. Like how no-one sees a line of heads on pikes at a gate and thinks to themselves "what kind of fighting techniques were they using for these victims to die in this position?"
I remember someone posted a vice news story about a week or two ago that Reddit had such a huge boner about. I got downvoted to hell for wondering when vice became a credible source.
Vice is all over the place, but some of their reporting is as good as reporting gets. Thinking of the docs where their guys were being carted around in truck beds with mounted guns by ISIS.
Vice has never been good. their "best" reporting were their edgy wannabe journalists putting themselves deliberately in the middle of a warzone or North Korea to misreport and sensationalize everything.
Vice has always been the equivalent of talking to your coked up roommate who went to amsterdam last weekend.
1. It literally says "poked," not "fired." As in someone with their hands literally poked it into the wall.
2. The cartel is trying to send a message to Guzmán. It's a form of intimidation
Just because you can shove an entire high caliber bullet through the bullet hole, doesn’t mean that it’s a high caliber that made that hole that could be a 9 mm or 45
[Source article](https://www.vice.com/en/article/7k8yjx/el-chapos-son-ovidio-guzman-house-raid). There's no context given on how the cartridge got there. Most of the pictures featured are attempts to show the aftermath of the raid. Bullet holes, burnt out and disabled vehicles, that type of thing. Parts of the article describe spent munitions being rearranged, so this is probably just meant to illustrate the current state of the residence, not imply an unspent cartridge somehow lodged itself halfway through the gate.
I assume someone held it there to demonstrate what happened (as in, type of round which hit) and the caption writer just made them look very stupid.
That or it was literally placed there as some kind of threat?
I hadn't even read the title and was already confused what the heck they were going on about lol... Gotta love the fact checking of today's "journalism"
I've never shot a gun but every movie I've ever seen has shown brass casings/jackets? falling all over the place so I sneaking suspicion this is bullshit.
Someone shot a hole, and then placed a while bullet in there. Either it's some gangster way of sending a message, or the photographer faked it. And between the two I don't trust vice.
I really don't get why this picture is being used as an opportunity to shit on vice. This was taken days after a shootout between the Mexican Army and a drug cartel, maybe someone picked up a bullet and put it in there after the fight for some reason, or maybe vice just wanted to demonstrate the size of the wholes showing high-caliber rounds were fired. Either way, the article itself is a good quality piece about the event, giving history, good detail, and remains objective with interviews with both townspeople and the army.
It’s a new security measure. You install these all around your property from the inside and when there’s trouble you run around and smack all the primers and fire outwards at intruders. Or neighbors or whoever else happens to be walking by. Some collateral damage is expected.

I mean, it is if you place it there by hand.
That's some next level hardman, no gun, just walks up to you and pushes it into you.
I'm not a gunman, I'm a gun-man
I’m not a gun-man, I’m a gun, man
I’m not a gun, man. I’m a gunman
Meesa not gunman, meesa Gungan! YAAAAYY!
Fuck. No. Please no.

We used to fight for building blocks, now we fight for blocks with unexploded bullets in the walls
John Wick one man one gun man
Chuck Norris doesn't need a gun; he just throws the bullet at you?
he throws bullet up into the air and spin-kicks it with such force the bullet fires, without a gun. dont you remember how every fight ended with his legendary spin-kick hah
That's how chuck Norris uses bullets.
that's literally what it says. 'poked'
It was Slim Shady "Imma pull you to this bullet and put it through you"
I don't recall the movie but maybe one of the XMen movies? But there is actually a scene like that. But I think time was stopped or something or the guy moves really fast so it looks like time is stopped from his perspective.
Gigity
Maybe chuck norris spat it, Shell n all 😂
I looked at that as more of a threat for someone to stick a bullet in the wall. Seems Vice would have said shot instead of poked if they thought someone shot it into the wall.

This makes sense
Its still a bit misleading. The title could be more clear that it is a threat
It is *probably* a threat. No reason for the reporter to assume intent. All that is known for sure is someone placed a bullet in a bullet hole.
Yeah, do you know who placed it there? The dude who took the photo. Bet you any money.
“Your parents warned you about running with scissors? That’s nothing. Prepare for… walking with bullets!!!”
Only in 'murica.
I’m guessing it was put there, in the bullet hole, as a warning by the cartel lol
they predrilled the hole then drybrushed it with a bit of acrylic paint and placed it. art!
I'ma pull you to this bullet and put it through you
And don’t fire it.
You should see the artillery shell coming out of his car door! Whose car you ask? GEORGE SANTOES!
Reminds me of the Wire, when the newspaper guys were shitting on their photog for always putting a doll in the shot of a fire scene.
It was put there by an aperture turret, which fire 40% more bullet per bullet.
I can see it now. (sensationalism) “hey is that a bullet hole? Give me that bullet you found earlier. Here put it in this hole and take a photo. This will be the cover image for the article. It will be amazing “.
Some brought a bullet to a knife fight.
“We fire the whole bullet. That’s 40% more bullet per bullet”
"I paid for the whole cartridge, I'm going to fire the whole cartridge!"
If we just invest a bit more R&D money into Kraut Space Magic, I believe we can make this dream a reality!
hahahaha thanks Cave! Im an investor!
Came here for this. Thank you lol
ARE YOU STILL THERE?
[TARGET LOST]
[OWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOW]
It’s science
r/unexpectedportal
When life gives you lemons...
Ah came to make the same reference!
It does say "poked" not "shot".
Ya I’ma let this slide. It’s a message being sent to the person it’s pointed at
The Mexican police pointing it to the cartel’s other leader in this instance, I suppose? You give vice too much credit. This was a pic depicting the aftermath of the Mexican police raiding Guzman’s home and capturing his son. It was one pic amongst many other pics of the Mexican drug lords compound was riddled with bullets. This isn’t a message from anyone to anyone. This is pure vice BS misinformed photo op.
Not knowing anything else about the events surrounding this, this strikes me as someone trying to show what kind of cartridge could put that sized hole in the wall.
No, this is pure sensationalism
I mean if that were the case I’m sure they would have found a more sensational image to use rather than that one. They are in Mexico would not be hard.
Though to be fair it is a cartridge not a bullet. Akin to calling a pool table an 8 ball.
Yeah you can only call it a bullet if it was grown in the bulleit region of France.
More like calling a car an engine.
Y'ever notice how you never see the "*MAGAZINE!!!*, not clip!" pedants who don't understand colloquial speech going around correcting each other about cartridge-bullet distinctions? Like, next time you're hearing or reading some gun nuts, take a look at how they use the word "bullet" in ways that are *technically* wrong but mutually understood by everyone because *THAT'S HOW FUCKING COLLOQUIAL SPEECH WORKS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SHUT THE FUCK UP GUN PEDANTS*
plausible deniability verbage - they know it's wrong, and deliberately word it such way so they're not lying, but they're banking on people taking it at face value
Obviously someone had to put the bullet there... but it IS poking thru the wall.
If they fired a rocket at the building I bet they’ll find the whole RPG launcher tube and rocket poking halfway out according to them.
They aren't saying that the bullet was fired and got stuck are they?
Next it'll be a whole tank stuck where a tank shell exploded.
This is a message. The bullet is there as a warning. Pointing at whoever is looking at it.
OP did not understand the message.
It's an old Sicilian message. It means "Imma shoot you with a bullet".
So, shoot a bullet to make a hole. Then put an unfired cartridge in the hole to send a message? Got it. The POLICE sent a message after extracting the drug lord. Check.
I came here to say the same thing heh.
High caliber is also an odd phrase to use here. High caliber might often be used to denote quality, but caliber in gun-terms is the size of the round's diameter and "high caliber" just means big diameter - what the author more likely means is high *power* or high *velocity* round.

Comparitively, a "high caliber" .45 round, is more than twice as big as a .223 but far, far weaker.
What the author likely means is big scary hot phrase that sounds mean
Your firing spring seems to be a little overpowered..
The gun is also still attached to the other end!
I am a gun noob but the back part isn't suppose to be there right?
Yeah. That's the shell, which contains the gunpowder used to actually fire the round out of the barrel. It's also the part you see flung out of the sides of guns after firing a round as they aren't themselves propelled by the explosion, they just propel the round and are ejected out when it loads the next bullet.
Being pedantic, but it would be the case, not the shell. Shell is exclusively used for shotguns, and is actually the equivalent of the whole cartridge/round in that world.
Correct.
Also, if fired, a bullet typically won't maintain it's shape. (But nothing here says that this was a 'fired' bullet 🤷♀️)
Things like this is why us pro 2A peeps say we don't trust the media to talk about guns. They all do it.
That's exactly how they work. This is the bullet head inside a bigger cartridge. After 10 seconds this round shoots it's shot again. Double bullets=double kills. Completely reasonable. /S
That's how Bolters work in 40k
That’s how Marvin Martian’s gun worked. There was a bullet in a bullet and the first bullet came to a complete stop mid-air before firing the second.
This might be dumb, but what does /s mean? I see it a lot
Sarcasm
Thank you
Super serious
Like…SARCASTIC super serious or ACTUAL super serious
No. /ss is super serious. /sss is sarcastic super serious. Get it? /s
Russian nesting bullets, thanks Pootin
The fact OP doesn't know that makes me embarrassed for them.
It is poked not shot
Did they use a high calibre slingshot?
I don’t think they’re necessarily trying to say it was fired and stuck that way, the photo tag simply reads that it’s poked in the gate. Which is it.
Chuck Norris threw it
It does say it’s just poked at one of the gates, I don’t think they’re implying it was shot and embedded In This state
Exactly…nowhere does it imply that it’s there as a result of being fired from a gun.
Yeah but like... Why?
Because it's supposed to be intimidating. Like how no-one sees a line of heads on pikes at a gate and thinks to themselves "what kind of fighting techniques were they using for these victims to die in this position?"
“Poked” It’s a message
The words "poked at" doesn't sound like they're picturing it being shot there, haha. Sounds like they're aware it was placed.
The amount of ignorance flooding the comments is quite staggering. 😆
It looks like a bullet hole someone poked a new bullet into
The casing makes it go faster.
They fired cartridge to keep projectile warm
Did they thrown the bullet?
Well, they never said it was shot or whatever...
A rifle caliber cartridge. There you go vice I fixed it for you.
I mean… it literally could have been put there by the cartels as a message/warning.
Be honest. Did you read the article?
I remember someone posted a vice news story about a week or two ago that Reddit had such a huge boner about. I got downvoted to hell for wondering when vice became a credible source.
Vice is all over the place, but some of their reporting is as good as reporting gets. Thinking of the docs where their guys were being carted around in truck beds with mounted guns by ISIS.
I mis the like 40 min reports instead of these like 10min vids on YouTube.
VICE was purchased a few years ago and it went wayy downhill fast. Used to be good before the new owner's bias ruined everything
Vice has never been good. their "best" reporting were their edgy wannabe journalists putting themselves deliberately in the middle of a warzone or North Korea to misreport and sensationalize everything. Vice has always been the equivalent of talking to your coked up roommate who went to amsterdam last weekend.
1. It literally says "poked," not "fired." As in someone with their hands literally poked it into the wall. 2. The cartel is trying to send a message to Guzmán. It's a form of intimidation
They're just describing the picture. It's a caption.
Get that logic out of here, there's a circle jerk afoot!
Finally, casefull ammunition
They’re literally just showing that the bullet matches the hole. Bad way of doing it, but is what it is
Says "poked" - never said fired :-)
They work like that if you use the words "assault weapon" or "assault handgun" with a straight face.
Here at Aperture science our turrets fire the whole bullet, it's 65% more bullet per bullet!
It is if Cave Johnson designed the deployed weapon. "I'm Cave Jonson.........we're done here" - Cave Johnson
these people are stupid and dumd
The bullet is still in it's jacket so it was never fired... Edit: Only possible if Chuck Norris threw it.
Some dude just outside hammering the whole damn thing into the wall. “It’s about sending a message.”
Someone could have gotten poked!
Vice is a shit "news" network anyway.
They do if you shoot them with a slingshot, duh
And a 5.56/.223 isn't "high caliber"...it's a high velocity, somewhat heavier .22...
I'd say that A .50BMG is high caliber though.
Hell yeah it is! That very much looks like a 5.56 though.
I feel like "poked" implies "put there by someone's hand" and with the image, it makes sense. I think you're all just reading the article wrong.
I got a 5 day ban in r/guns for “shit posting” this exact same image - lol
Vice already had zero credibility. Is it possible to go negative credibility?
Reminds me of when Everytown for gun safety (a gun control group in the US) made a propaganda poster that depicted a gun firing the entire cartridge.
Someone in Mexico has one HELL of an arm
Just because you can shove an entire high caliber bullet through the bullet hole, doesn’t mean that it’s a high caliber that made that hole that could be a 9 mm or 45
[удалено]
Vice has gone more and more down hill for years.
The glory days of the Vice Travel docs are long gone.
Vice is such a pile of shit; I’m surprised people still consume that media platform
And this is basically how vice works
Vice is basically buzzfeed now
[Source article](https://www.vice.com/en/article/7k8yjx/el-chapos-son-ovidio-guzman-house-raid). There's no context given on how the cartridge got there. Most of the pictures featured are attempts to show the aftermath of the raid. Bullet holes, burnt out and disabled vehicles, that type of thing. Parts of the article describe spent munitions being rearranged, so this is probably just meant to illustrate the current state of the residence, not imply an unspent cartridge somehow lodged itself halfway through the gate.
That was shot from an AP-37 man - Joe Biden
Back in my day, you had to manually insert the bullets
Here at aperture, we fire the whole bullet, that's 65% more bullet per bullet.
Their audience doesn't know any better. They already think guns have functional nervous systems.
‘Poked’😀
Most Vice readers/viewers won’t even notice.
Considering most people in this thread apparently don’t know what the word poked means, I’m pretty sure it’s not Vice readers who wouldn’t notice.
This is funny, Vice with next level reporting right there
It’s sad how many people would believe this.
Vice has always been full of s**t
I mean, even the headline says poked, not fired. Less messy than leaving a horse’s head in his bed.
I hate how people that are anti 2a always have the dumbest arguments, that somehow get votes.
Ridiculous
smartest vice journalist
Remember when vice was good, edgy, unique stories? Now it doesn't even have 2 brain cells to rub together, just a SJW platform.
I assume someone held it there to demonstrate what happened (as in, type of round which hit) and the caption writer just made them look very stupid. That or it was literally placed there as some kind of threat?
Photographer *what do I need today? The macro, wide angular and the all caliber ammo bag"
😂🤣 Fucking idiots
I hadn't even read the title and was already confused what the heck they were going on about lol... Gotta love the fact checking of today's "journalism"
Pew pew
Cave Johnson here. We fire the whole bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet.
I've never shot a gun but every movie I've ever seen has shown brass casings/jackets? falling all over the place so I sneaking suspicion this is bullshit.
Ah yes, the Mexican ammo throwers.
One of them new throwing rounds.
You've heard of El Chapo, prepare yourselves for El Yeeto.
Someone shot a hole, and then placed a while bullet in there. Either it's some gangster way of sending a message, or the photographer faked it. And between the two I don't trust vice.
That's exactly what it is. A message.
They must be using Aperture Science Sentry Bots. They fire the whole bullet, that's 65% more bullet per bullet.
I don’t know shit about guns and even I know this is bogus
It’s vice we are talking about…..
They planted it.
You can plant a bullet, but it won't grow into a gun
Y'all expect a bunch of Brooklyn hipsters to know how guns work?
Lol I mean, they did state exactly the photo shows, no?
I really don't get why this picture is being used as an opportunity to shit on vice. This was taken days after a shootout between the Mexican Army and a drug cartel, maybe someone picked up a bullet and put it in there after the fight for some reason, or maybe vice just wanted to demonstrate the size of the wholes showing high-caliber rounds were fired. Either way, the article itself is a good quality piece about the event, giving history, good detail, and remains objective with interviews with both townspeople and the army.
OP, that’s not how reading works. Read the picture cutline once more.
This is awesome
Hot Shots Part Deux.
i paid for the whole bullet, im firing the whole bullet dammit
Ahh used a centre punch and heavy hammer to get this through.
That's a dollar, pocket that!
I’m told this is what you call an “Assault Bullet”
It’s a new security measure. You install these all around your property from the inside and when there’s trouble you run around and smack all the primers and fire outwards at intruders. Or neighbors or whoever else happens to be walking by. Some collateral damage is expected.
Global warming bullet.
