    How not to cock a springer airgun

    Thats a smack in the face if it slips when cocking

    "Hantsman" 130

    3 mins into the video where the unsafe handling starts .

    plus the scope is loose and moved towards his face

    I'm surprised he still has all of his front teeth! And with a 34ft/lb springer as well!

    Even so mate, I just don't get why he flicked the rifle upwards to let off the shot - I'd have put it into the ground like the first shot.
    ... it just seemed a bit too blase for me.

    All of the above.

    He used to start his videos by saying safety was number one priority while putting on safety glasses.

    He would test items and then once he tested chainsaw trousers and said he would wear them all the time after that anytime he did a chainsaw video he had on no chainsaw trousers or PPE.

    He is not the brightest out there for safety but he does make a good few dollars from his two or three channels on youtube.

    Ignoring his interesting cocking technique (ooo err Mrs!) I would love to have a play with a .30" break barrel but will have to crack on with my .25" HW project instead.

    I cringed when he cocked it and then put his hand over the open breech. He is a lucky man that sear did not let go. But one day darwin's theory will sort him out i fear
