I can see exactly what happened.

They were shooting a Glock 18. The guy, who possibly didn't know how to shoot (and nobody bothered to show him), was attempting to steady the weapon by resting the barrel on his weak hand. Then, when he put it into full-auto mode, the excess recoil caused the gun to fly back, while his hand remained in place.

=pwnt

Edit: Actually, the front grip explanation is pretty convincing. I may have to concede defeat. :lol:

If so, I have to say, putting a front grip on a Glock 18 is dumb. The last thing you want is a full-auto piece falling apart in your hands. If you can't fire the thing the way it was built, I would recommend buying another automatic weapon. Barring that, red thread lock. :D

This guy has no problem without some dumb front grip. ;)

Whether or not the round went through his hand, it ended up hitting the ceiling right above the target. If you look closely above the target and not pay attention to the malfunction, you will see the round strike.

Eh, the gun was in full-auto mode, and he fired a decent burst. It could have been another round that hit the ceiling.

I had to watch it a few times and read comments first..

I didnt know it was full auto, it looked MAYBE, on the last shot his hand ended up in front of it when the foregrip came off
