Anthony Martin, 21, and other men were drinking and playing with a gun before the incident,

That's always going to end well.

When playing russian roulette and someone shoots themselves what happens next? do they put another bullet in and go around the table until there is only one left standing?

Only straight if the world was flat. They wouldn't be straight on a globe or viewed from space

He probably left six bullets in because he was feeling lucky.

LOL!! and when there's only two left one of them can just shoot the other.

Didn't some world champion boxer die like that years ago? Anybody?

His friends told him not to do it. Wouldnt listen though.
In one ear and out the other...

Investigators concluded Mr Martin had acted alone and the gun was legally registered to one of the men at the party, Sgt Bravo said.

So he was playing russian roulette alone, how does that work?

vampire of kilmainham

anybody want a game i have a 44magnum revolver ill only put one bullit in the chamber promise really i swear only 5 bullits and one chamber free:D:D

(28 February 2000, Texas) A Houston man earned a succinct lesson in gun safety when he played Russian roulette with a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol. Rashaad, nineteen, was visiting friends when he announced his intention to play the deadly game. He apparently did not realize that a semiautomatic pistol, unlike a revolver, automatically inserts a cartridge into the firing chamber when the gun is cocked. His chance of winning a round of Russian roulette was zero, as he quickly discovered.

Must take some balls to play russian roulette with a loaded gun. Fair play and RIP.

Looks like it was a case of pretending to play "russian roulette" with a gun he assumed was unloaded rather than an actual russian roulette incident.

"Assumption is the mother of all ****ups"
as someone famous once said.

That lad should have been in the care of the state. That is actually the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Surely a gun nut would have known you can only play this with a revolver. Jesus wept

In fairness, sober, he would probably have never dreamt of doing it, the auld grog does funny things to young men. If you watch the "I just fcuking shot myself" video, in the slow mo replay you can watch the track the slug takes down his thigh, entering about three quarters up and stopping just above the kneecap. The ballistic energy transferred to his leg literally baloons the flesh ahead of the bullet path. Once the shock and adrenaline wears off, that would be one sore puppy, if he lived, 'cos the femoral artery is lurking in them parts and once cut, times up without a good surgeon close by.
A great many people shoot themselves while drawing weapons because they just don't know enough about what they're at.
When I was younger I had a lot of family down visiting. All the fellas were pestering me to let them go outside and shoot my guns, so I took a few of them outside and set up some cans and loaded a rifle for them.
I said to the first guy, here you go, its loaded and ready to shoot, just point it at the target and let off the safety. One of the others behind asked me somthing as I handed the gun over, so I was only half looking at what I was doing. The guy took the rifle off me, and with his finger firmly on the trigger:eek: let off the safety. The shot passed about 1/2" in front of my chin, and buried itself in the wall beside my brother in laws head, literally millimeters from his skull. We stopped shooting cans then. I am now older and wiser, and nobody touches my gun, no matter how much they ask or whinge. Lesson learnt.
