Apparently this guy was using a Moto Dremel on an old 10 gauge shotgun shell...

This is why I've taught my kids to assume that every gun is loaded, every round of ammunition is live, and not to do stupid crap with either.

I feel bad for the guy that he's lost parts of his fingers, but this reminds me why there are warning labels on products that those of us with a little common sense don't really see a need for. ie: the "Warning: May contain hot liquids" on a coffee cup, etc.

We need to ban 10 gauge ammo.[Bang]

Can we just ban idiots with power tools instead?

Clearly the ammo was at fault here...

I still feel bad for the guy. Sucks when you play a stupid game like this and win the grand prize.

Can we remove the "with power tools" part of that?

That would be a pretty huge ban.:)

Dremel tools kill and maim over 100,000 stupid people per year. The government should require more restrictions on Dremel Tool ownership. Background checks and waiting periods are just plain, common sense. If it saves just one idiot, wouldn't it be worth it?

I have the polar opposite thought. Give all the idiots table saws and wood chippers, remove all warning labels... entertainment for the rest of us.

Stupid is irreversible.
We can thank Lawyers, Judges and juries for pulling the filter out of the gene pool.

You joke about this, but the article's title is "Shotgun shell explodes in Clark man's hands". The title places the blame on the shotgun shell for exploding in the man's hands. A more accurate title would read "Clark Man causes shotgun shell to explode in his hands"

I am trying to come up with a possible motive for taking a shotgun shell apart. Can't really come up with anything.

Possible motives:
-He's 21 years old.
-He was interested to see the inside of it
-He wanted to extract the shot or powder
-He thought it was inert
-He is stupid.

This guy fits in with people who "didn't know the gun was loaded" when cleaning it and shoot themselves.

That is some quality stupid.

I remember when I took a blackcat apart with a lighter. I thought I could just burn the paper off.

OK...I've done some stupid shit... Like parachuting off the roof of my house with parachute made out of a sheet and some rope, but... You win!

Ummm, there ARE tools for disassembling a shotshell. And no, it's not a Dremel! Just cuz the shell is old doesn't mean it's now inert!

I feel bad for the guy though, I know what it's like to lose finger parts & function.

I'm all for natural selection and the passing out of many, many Darwin Awards, but this poor guy just blew off half his hand. That SUCKS. I can't imagine losing A digit, let alone the function of an entire hand.

ok, first just wow..... how dumb can you get

pretty f....... dumb,


"this is an example of things that can happen"

um no, this didn't " happen " this was caused, the shell did not explode on its own, remove the dipshit from this equation and the shell is still in one piece as is his hand.

sorry no sympathy here. man he is dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
