And i thought shooting a barrel of gas and having it explode was a joke

[pontifex]

I just saw something even more retarded. Watching the transporter tv series and they doused a guy in gas and then someone shot him and he caught on fire....

I could see maybe if it was point blank and the flash ignited it it, it the shooter was a good distance away.

 

[Markbnj]

And you expected realism why?

 

[angminas]

So this series which is so unrealistic is called "The Transporter"?

Could be a tracer or incendiary round........

It was a pistol. Don't think i ever saw tracer incendiary rounds for pistols. Wouldn't really make sense either. Shooter was a cop as well, so doubtful they would even use tracer or incendiary rounds.

Yeah, its based off the transporter movies.

wtf? dumbest comment ever.

I know its not real, I was commenting on it being more not real than what I had previously seen.

What if shooting the floor caused a spark?

 

[pontifex]

What if shooting the floor caused a spark?

he didn't shoot the floor. he only had 1 round left and he shot the guy in the chest. maybe it sparked off a button or something????

There's a TV series?

 

[pontifex]

There's a TV series?

Yes, been on TNT for awhile, already airing season 2. I think it came out in Canada/overseas a few years back.

Heck yeah - his gardening work might seem miraculous but he certainly exists enough to take my money for his landscaping

Umm... I thought that we were both complaining about lack of realism on TV.

Tracers have the phosphorous material in a hollow at the base of the bullet, and the powder charge ignites it. It's unlikely that they would ignite anything, but not impossible.

Incendiary rounds are designed to start fires, and they basically detonate on impact.

If it doesn't jump automatically, jump to 1min, 30sec.

 

[LTC8K6]

There are 22LR tracer rounds readily available.

 

[lozina]

Yeah! And why does the killer always end up waiting for the fleeing vulnerable woman who ran away from him while he was casually strolling?! *mad*
