Wow! :suicide::eek:
"Way too dangerous for normal people," he says! This video is a laugh riot.

[Airhasz]

Surprised it didn't kaboom...

[Cincinnatus]

I especially love his armor, which appears to be homemade from the bottom of a plastic trash can.

[Mr. Greene]

all i can say is wow

[Safetyhit]

Even a Hi-Point doesn't deserve those idiots. But while it failed numerous times at least they couldn't get it to blow up.

By the way what is the liberal equivalent to our dopey gun owner clips? Don't tell me they have us outdone here.

[goodoleboy]

hmmm... I still don't want one.:dirol:

[ralph]

If they really want to blow it up, I'd suggest the following....load a case up with some rifle powder.. I'm thinking some H-335, maybe fill an empty case up and compress a bullet on top... then plug the bore..That ought to do it.......

[yellow50]

It looked like every round fired almost knocked the guy on his ass.

[Mac5.56]

I like his armor. Barry is the man with is surefire flashlight attachment, the cut slot into the armor to fit his backwards baseball cap.

[ZGXtreme]

I like how he points out it is too dangerous for normal people. True, oh so true with "normal" being the key phrase.

[CodeRed30]

Oh, the ruhtards of the gun owners of America. They never cease to dumbfound me.

[SteveL]

Grant should sell that pistol and body armor together as a package deal. :jester:

[misanthropist]

That's just peachy that the gun still fired...however, as all of the internet's torture testers fundamentally fail to grasp, my primary concern is not whether a gun has hell-and-back DURABILITY, it's whether it has hell-and-back RELIABILITY.

Any modern pistol is sufficiently DURABLE to survive incidents that would turn me into a fine red mist.

The questions to ask are:

Will it go bang every time I need it to?

Will it survive being shot enough times that I'll be proficient with it? As in how does it run after 10 or 20 thousand rounds?

Is the trigger up to the task of letting me make a low-margin shot under high stress?

Is it accurate enough to depend on for that low-margin shot?

Does it have good holster options?

Are replacement parts or service readily available?

Are the mags dependable?



I don't care if you can drive a truck over it. If I cared about getting something meant for trucks to drive on, I'd hire a pavement company and buy a chunk of road.

I care if it's a good PISTOL. I want to know if my guns will excel at the tasks demanded of a pistol, not the tests demanded of a kevlar vest, a seatbelt, an airplane wing or microscope.

When tested AS A GUN, Hi-points suck on most of the above counts (although surprisingly accurate, apparently).




I'd just edit this to add that I know this thread is not full of people advocating Hi-Points. I understand this is here as a joke. I'm just ranting at the kinds of people who DO buy in to this stuff.

[Beat Trash]

Gotta love the night vision mode of the armor.

Hi-Point, arming the Getto Thugs of the world.

The Hi-Point is the gun of choice recovered by my officers for the last several years.

I don't remember ever seeing one that had any amount of oil or lube on the gun at all. I'm sure running them dry and grimy-dirty doesn't help with the already stellar reliability of the design.

[Cincinnatus]

Misanthropist, you make some good points. There is more than just humor to be gleaned here.

[Symmetry]

Jeeze, how many times did that POS have some sort of operation failure?

[morbidbattlecry]

I think next time we have a gun control problem in washington we should offer up to close down high point. I really think it would cut down gun related crimes :lol:

A Hi Point and 'operators' like this:

...yep, hanging on their every word. :alcoholic:

[citizensoldier16]

Total of 112 rounds equates a torture test, huh? Then I guess three or four stages of IDPA should have killed my Glock then, right? By that math, my G17 should have been dead in the summer of 1997. :rolleyes:

EDIT: Okay...so I just saw the "body armor". I can only think of one thing: "Go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!!"

[Big Bronze Rim]

Wow, just wow. Those guys continue to amaze me. And not in a good way.

[Coal Dragger]

I enjoyed the video because I get to enjoy abusing a cheap POS gun without risking my own fingers, eyes, and other body parts to to it.

[thei3ug]

Hands? Who needs hands? Well, the left one anyway.
