Well at least he threw it so that it was pointed at the guy who was observing farther down the line from him, not at himself. :laugh:

"Horribly wrong" - yeah, um, not quite.


More accurate: "RPG doesn't fire. Operator throws it on the ground. Nothing happens."

Thats the first thing I noticed. Throw it whilst its pointed at someone else. Then not run far enough from kaboom (even tho it didnt blow up it could have). Funny sh*t tho.

I don't get why he was so quick to toss it when it didn't fire. It doesn't have a timed warhead does it?

That guys was a moron without the most basic knowledge of firearm safety. If you have a misfire, you always keep it pointed in a safe direction. If you do that, the worst thing that can happen is that it goes off, and since it's pointed in a safe direction there's no problem. But if you throw it on the ground and run 4 feet away, who knows what'll happen?

Because he's an idiot. Some people do the same thing with guns.
