My favorite: "The bullets just fall out."

All these years I've been wasting time by making that an extra step at the beginning.

"This is a Witness one thousand nine hundred and eleven." Amazing how much it looks like a real 1911.

I also enjoyed the mad track that he laid down in the background.

You guys are pretty cynical.
That kid was what? 10 years old? He likely has never had any firearms safety training, and likely never handled a real weapon.

To me it looks like he could become a valuable asset to our community with the right training. That video was remarkably well made for someone so young. I've seen "real gun guys" make so many mistakes when doing disassembly videos, from violation of the 4 rules, to nominclature mistakes. Give this kid some training and I think he could produce something rivaling most of the 1911 videos on youtube.

(And the background beat was pretty darn good and did not interfer with the presentation.

What made me really want to post this was when he fired it (loaded) after removing the disassembly pin. That and when he points it at his head toward the beginning.

I was looking for video on Tanfoglio's Witness . . .. and the idea of a Witness (CZ clone) 1911 intrigued me.

I was making two comments. One was snarky. The other was truly a comment about how real it looks. I couldn't tell.

You have a good point about the lack of training. What I would have liked to do is find a good video on youtube that shows the 4 rules and then post it as a reply or comment to this video. The kid should see it then. I would also kindly inform him that it is a nineteen eleven. The problem is I wasn't able to find the original youtube page.

Do you think Airsoft guns give kids bad habits in handling firearms? Also wouldn't you probably shoot someone if they pulled that on you while you were carrying?

Does airsoft instill bad habits in kids? I guess maybe it could, but I also think any kid old enough to begin firearm training is also old enough to realize an airsoft is a toy, and a firearm is not. Just like a cap gun or suction dart gun are toys. To apply the 4 rules to every childs toy gun would be a pretty shitty childhood.
I have no problem with a kid shooting his roomate with airsoft, shooting the "bad guys" on tv, or twirling it like a cowboy... heck I've done all of those things.

But yeah, they look crazy realistic, and a person could easily be confused. Which is a good reason to only get involved if you think your life or the life of someone you care for is under threat of GBH.

Wow... what good parents who give their kids "gun" with no training or supervision. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Ha, "I almost shot my brother!". Famous last words...

If I had a nickel for every time somebody's brother got hit with a bb...

I know I saw down the barrel of several thanks to my big brother.

One of my friends dad had an interesting way of teaching and ensuring good safe firearms handling before my friend started hunting. He had his toy guns and stuff, but he had one toy gun that he could play with that he had to treat like a real gun. When he carried it he had to carry it safely. When he put it down it had to be in a safe place. Using it he was not allowed to point it at anything he wasn't willing to shoot, etc. My friend took it quite seriously and had better safe gun handling skills at age 5 than many adult hunters have today. I kinda liked the idea. It was a safe way to see your kid develop their safety skills with some autonomy, and to develop trust with a firearm.

That is a pretty cool idea.

Makes all kind of sense to me.

That's how I was raised as a child in regard to all toy guns with the exception of squirt guns.

Exactly how my 8 year old girl was taught. With the airsoft version of what I intended to buy for her.

She could hold class on the firing line at Bills. :roll:
