Howdy reddit. I'm the sysadmin for the server hosting this file, and you've completely saturated its bandwidth. Anyone who wants to put up an imgur mirror would be my best friend right about now :D

[–]hZf 100 points101 points ago

DDOS of love

[–]Wizzle-Stick 45 points46 points ago

you either made a crap-ton of money today, or your bandwidth bill will be through the roof.
either way, you are welcome

[–]thebulbguy 102 points103 points ago

Well, considering the image was directly linked and traffic to it was exceeding 100MB/s, the second option is pretty spot on. The reddit horde is more powerful than anything anon could ever unleash.

[–]Mazercore 10 points11 points ago

Hope the karma helps. :)

[–]lewisthemusician 1 point2 points ago

most likely the latter

[–]CubemonkeyNYC 46 points47 points ago

[–]dylanwenzlau 208 points209 points ago

Sorry reddit, here's the CDN link: http://i.imgflip.com/c8r2.gif

Imgflip founder here - the user who created this image selected the "private" option which explicitly states the image must be downloaded and will be deleted from our server, so it was never placed on the CDN. I had to do it manually. I'll try to make the interface better in the future so this type of mistake doesn't happen.

edit: the main link is now automatically redirected to the above CDN link.

[–]Jeroknite 86 points87 points ago

You. You know how to be an admin.

[–]Therefor3[S] 51 points52 points ago

Thanks, your site is great! Sorry I wasn't more careful. First time posting to Reddit and using your site.

[–]nomel23 5 points6 points ago

Why in the world wouldn't you have it automatically go to the CDN after some this-is-killing-us threshold?

[–]paleo_dragon 3 points4 points ago

So Canadians have their own links now too?

[–]nickyjames 3 points4 points ago

hey bro, you just gained a whole lot of users with this paragraph. Thanks. :) Now I have to start using it too. I can't let that kind of patience and awesomeness go unnoticed.

[–]TheFakeFrench 33 points34 points ago

"Hello Redditors, this server is currently under very heavy load. Please check back later." Ha, this guy.

[–]KeifSoap 134 points135 points ago

The camera man did get injured in this video I think

[–]Myte342 95 points96 points ago

I think this one is the one yovr'£ thinking of. I haven't found the video in the gif yet but he could get injured in that one too.

Edit: Also, he didn't learn from this video how far the debris gets thrown?

[–]tidelol 12 points13 points ago

[–]Badonkajunky 4 points5 points ago

thank you so much. so many people chatting it up, and you deliver the goods

[–]Flemtality 182 points183 points ago

He's a moron, if you haven't noticed. He fails to follow even some of the most basic gun safety rules and he will no doubt get himself or someone else seriously injured or killed at some point.

[–]Scamdal 30 points31 points ago

Im pretty sure he knows gun safety and the dangers of what he is doing but he is going for entertainment.

[–]king_of_blades 6 points7 points ago

You could say that it's even worse.

[–]Mack488 70 points71 points ago

I completely despise him, as a gunsmith if this man walked in my store I would tell him to leave. He's a fucking moron who needs to take a basic safety class. And drop the retarded accent...

[–]pclamer 101 points102 points ago

Drop the accent? He does it as an act... and even though you may not like it, it's been successful online. So much in fact he rakes in thousands of dollars a month in revenue.

[–]ExOAte 33 points34 points ago

So if it's a success it doesn't matter if it's dangerous?

Kyle doesn't take precautions for his crew, then he's a horrible person. Money nor popularity has nothing to do with basic safety.

[–]pclamer 53 points54 points ago

Welcome to jackass

[–]STICK_OF_DOOM 6 points7 points ago

Hi in Johnny Knoxville and im gonna take a shotgun shell to the face!

[–]KneeSeekingArrow 0 points1 point ago

It doesn't hurt that bad actually, it's just hot for a few seconds.

[–]Aleksander73 6 points7 points ago

This is roof shopping cart.

[–]Nitro16 0 points1 point ago

And this is Car Door Face-Fuck.

[–]UprootedEagle 5 points6 points ago

So the crew is Kyle's responsibility? They agree to do this crazy shit, and no one has gotten seriously injured yet. If you listened to PKA Kyle seems like a cool dude.

[–]Gamer_ely 1 point2 points ago

I don't understand people's fascination with the crew.... Kyle looks like he's actually closer to the explosions and closer to the danger point... I don't get this mega cautious mentality that reddit gets in where they put everybody up on a pedestal and demonize them for doing the things that got them on the pedestal to begin with

[–]UprootedEagle 0 points1 point ago

I was about to say that the crew was farther away and in most cases they are wearing/behind some sort of protection. Kyle will risk his life because he has so much money from YouTube that hospital bills are no problem.

[–]flunkorg 3 points4 points ago

The accent is dangerous?

[–]Abd-el-Hazred 15 points16 points ago

Well it's dangerous to the guys that do it. If they get hurt it is pretty much their problem. As long as they make sure noone else is there, who cares? Are you mad at sky divers too?

[–]Cabbage_Vendor 6 points7 points ago

Because he's setting a terrible example for his millions of viewers.

[–]AboVeritas 3 points4 points ago

Holy fuck dude- some of the guys posting in this thread are approaching a very scary Orwellian line. People should have the freedom to do stupid shit.

[–]firemummy 9 points10 points ago

"Orwellian" and "kafkaesque" are phrases I might not mind hearing if they were used appropriately.

[–]MyRespectableAccount 21 points22 points ago

There is no Orwellian line being approached here. This is not a nanny state thing either. No one is talking about making laws to outlaw this. They are saying he shouldn't do it because it is unsafe and promotes unsafe behavior. That is a moral argument.

We have gotten to a place in the US where people feel like they can do whatever they want as long as it is not illegal. It is like morality is such a foreign concept that people like you can't even recognize it in conversation.

[–]That_Russian_Guy 10 points11 points ago

They do have that freedom and no-one is disputing that. That doesn't mean it's ok nor that he SHOULD be doing that. We also have the freedom to express our dislike of his practices.

[–]HPLoveshack 1 point2 points ago

Exactly, I enjoy watching people do shit I knew was moronic before they even tried it. It's gives me a vicarious taste of the excitement of taking that stupid-as-fuck risk without actually risking anything. The deliberately idiotic risk-takers of the internet are doing us a service as far as I'm concerned and deserve whatever revenue they can skim from it.

[–]flat_pointer 0 points1 point ago

There's a big difference between denouncing something as incredibly stupid, and stating that we should outlaw stupid things. This guy's on-camera shtick involves nearly dying/getting seriously injured. And on a lesser note, stating that people 'don't need ear protection' when shooting outdoors. (eeeeeeeeeeee) So if he says stupid things, or does stupid things, people will denounce it - which is good, because I don't want new people to get into guns and think they can shoot without ear pro and not go deaf as fuck. But I have yet to see anyone advocate making all this stupid illegal here. One can't make laws against stupid, but one can decry it.

[–]wufoo2 0 points1 point ago

Agreed. Repeal seat belt laws. I'm serious.

[–]verbosegf 1 point2 points ago

A good amount of his viewers are probably 15 year old boys who would never EVER get their hands on that kind of weaponry. So why would it matter?

[–]ExOAte 0 points1 point ago

Skydivers take individual risks. Kyle alone pulls that trigger. That is the only difference it takes.

Unless Kyle uses the money to spend on insurance. I don't mind. In fact, he can do whatever he likes. I watch his video's sometimes. It's just about caring for the people around you.

Small things can make a big difference.

[–]drbaconboy 0 points1 point ago

How are you bringing skydiving into this? Explosions and almost getting cut in half by truck shrapnel doesn't really equal jumping out of a plane.

[–]Abd-el-Hazred 0 points1 point ago

It's dangerous and only the people involved can get hurt.

[–]drbaconboy 0 points1 point ago

My mistake I misread your comment.

[–]szester -3 points-2 points ago

Pussies, all of you.

[–]dontblamemyballs 51 points52 points ago

I think he meant for him to drop his accent BECAUSE it's an act.. And a bad one, too.

[–]LieutenantClone 77 points78 points ago

You don't get it, its supposed to be a bad accent. He is not trying to fool anyone, its all a big joke. And for those of us who don't get our knickers twisted so easily, its pretty entertaining. Hence his massive success.

[–]CantaloupeCamper 29 points30 points ago

They get it...

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Everybody gets it. Stop accusing people that don't think something is funny of not getting it.

[–]nickyjames 3 points4 points ago

wait wait wait. this dudes not really from russia? I feel dumb. totally fooled by that accent. but, in my defense, I don't hear this accent hardly ever.

[–]SucculentSoap 2 points3 points ago

He's from BK.

[–]nickyjames 17 points18 points ago

Burger King?

[–]MegaJiXiang 1 point2 points ago

I never realized it was fake either. I guess it was good enough for me to not notice or care.

[–]pclamer 31 points32 points ago

If he wasn't successful I'd see your point, but A LOT of people like it.

[–]EPIC_RAPTOR 2 points3 points ago

Sorry you don't make thousands of dollars a month shooting guns on youtube. The butthurt, it's quite detectable.

[–]Piratiko -1 points0 points ago

The accent is the only reason I like him. There's something just so hilarious about a guy with a Russian accent saying "Now dis is weardy big focking gun"

[–]Grammaton485 -5 points-4 points ago

It's been successful because it caters to the stupid and immature.

[–]Kickinback32 0 points1 point ago

You should feel bad for me I live not to far from him and I use the same shooting range.

[–]captureMMstature 1 point2 points ago

To be fair, the accent has made him a millionaire.

[–]KneeSeekingArrow 0 points1 point ago

Really, that accent is what he bases his whole act off of. I mean, his name is FPSRussia... Everyone knows it's fake, he just does it for the fun of it.

[–]-underdog- 1 point2 points ago

Wait so he isn't really russian?

[–]Shadax 1 point2 points ago

People do stupid things to get famous. And it works.

[–]AboVeritas -5 points-4 points ago

The envy is strong with this one.

[–]InvaderDJ 1 point2 points ago

He follows some basic rules like trigger discipline, but his refusal to use hearing protection, stupid shit like this, and doing stuff like using a Desert Eagle for a spoon rub me the wrong way. He's a bad ambassador for responsible gun owners.

[–]theBCSsucks 2 points3 points ago

Anyone in a CoD commercial should not be trusted with actual firearms.

[–]baconcraft 12 points13 points ago

What, does the guy pack his targets with explosives or something? The truck, the fridge, the 'chit' house... jeez.

[–]Myte342 29 points30 points ago

Tannerite, it's not regulated by the gov't, you can get some of your own, or even make it yourself.

More info on the wiki if you want to learn of this fun set of chemicals.

[–]Avien 20 points21 points ago

Nice try, FBI.

[–]Myte342 9 points10 points ago

Check the wiki, and look at your own laws in your state. Tannerite, before it's mixed, is perfectly legal. After it's mixed it's still legal, you just can't transport it. So mix it, then use it, and if you have any left over, use that too or get in trouble.

Edit: I have friends that make their own, they like playing with the recipe to change how the explosive acts... make it slower burning, more concussive, etc etc.

[–]Avien -5 points-4 points ago

I'm just kidding. But in this day and age I'm extremely cautious about what I browse and post on the Internet.

With the exception of porn, which though also legal I'm sure would keep me from ever obtaining a job as a public servant, should my browsing history ever be leaked.

[–]HPLoveshack 0 points1 point ago

Probably going to be regulated a lot more heavily within a few years, as more dumbasses get attention by detonating massive amounts of it at once.

[–]BdrLen 1 point2 points ago

A 30 lb 105mm high explosive round has a safety radius of 620m. I imagine the truck has less explosive force, but he's practically on top of it.

[–]Vindexus 0 points1 point ago

[–]TheNr24 0 points1 point ago

I stopped watching his videos when he started blowing everything up for more views and thus moneys.

FTFY

[–]whereswald514 2 points3 points ago

My favorite is when he blows up the fridge (or something) and the cameraman get's pegged with what looks like a pretty big piece of debris and he says "my cameraman had a bit of an accident so I need to go to the hospital." Your cameraman? He was just standing behind you, how did he have the accident?

[–]Blackmagicfuckery 51 points52 points ago

on the bright side if he was injured we would notice the lack of FSPkyle on painkilleralready thus giving us the proof we need

[–]InactiveJumper 14 points15 points ago

"... let's get a nice big explosion and maybe a little bit of shrapnel going...." BOOM dramatic pause "...maybe a lot of shrapnel..."

[–]quebecmagnetic 2 points3 points ago

Dude just watch the pka where they had DeStorm as a guest he does the Russian accent

[–]Deart 19 points20 points ago

[–]daoneisback 3 points4 points ago

Did anyone else hear someone far off in the backgrounds say "holy fucking shit" at round 3.51?

[–]Tac50Company 0 points1 point ago

yeah it was one of his crew

[–]Brak710 6 points7 points ago

I think this proves it's fake. The shrapnel from the full speed doesn't seem to shoot out in the slow motion.

...or they film him shooting, and then film the truck exploding. Overlaying it gets this effect.

Almost all his explosion videos are this dangerously close, and people just watch to see him nearly get hit. Makes perfect sense to fake near-hits... I would.

[–]MisterScalawag 0 points1 point ago

I think the holy fucking shit right muttered from the camera guy right after the shrapnel goes by his head might beg to differ.

[–]Brak710 2 points3 points ago

The camera man was once seriously "injured" by a piece of a fridge they blew up.

If they're gonna fake it, they're going to try to make it believable. Some dialog only makes it better. They're entertaining and good at getting views, it makes sense.

EDIT: Not sure why I'm being down voted... watch the video and look at the "aftermath" pictures. Dude gets hit in the stomach and they posted pictures of a knee injury. The camera also falls to make it seem like the camera man dropped it, but it was on a tripod...?

[–]Valvador 34 points35 points ago

Can we get a mirror on a site that isn't completely terrible?

[–]ludod 54 points55 points ago

[–]allthatsalsa 15 points16 points ago

Jesus...

[–]AmatureHour 14 points15 points ago

It is crazy how close this is, it could have easily killed him.

[–]allthatsalsa 4 points5 points ago

Without a doubt. And seeing him react well after it was past. That's freaky.

[–]the_stone_roses_1337 20 points21 points ago

I love that he's gotten so famous, I really enjoy his videos but I still miss his commentaries and play throughs. Still waiting for the rest of the Dead Space 2 play through...

[–]TheBigbrue 10 points11 points ago

Yeah I really enjoyed when he still commentated as FPSKyle, sadly he deleted that channel and all the videos and commentaries on it.

[–]Awwgasm 3 points4 points ago

He's still regularly on Painkiller Already Podcast, if you're interested in that.

[–]TheBigbrue 1 point2 points ago

I listen every week, but thanks for the tip anyway :)

[–]the_stone_roses_1337 3 points4 points ago

Yeah I know, it was a sad day, he could easily start up a new gaming channel as either fpskyle or fpsrussia as he's still interested in games. Maybe some day.

[–]MisterScalawag 0 points1 point ago

He didn't delete the channel... I am still subscribed to it. Just all of the videos he posted are privated

[–]khushi97 3 points4 points ago

Yeah I went back to watch his "baby buffalo" gameplay and he had deleted it! That was such a good video.

[–]I_live_in_a_trashcan 0 points1 point ago

Yeah I miss his Fallout Let's Play. That is my favorite Let's Play of all time. I wish they weren't privated :/ I'd loved to watch through it one last time.

As I for one, -do- enjoy his videos. Atleast most of them.

[–]domoreyoga 16 points17 points ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SJ8Ndkg8urw and http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SJ8Ndkg8urw#t=212s - the blowing up scene . And if you enjoy his videos- you should subscribe to him on youtube

[–]Syntaximus 17 points18 points ago

"........maybe a lot of shrapnel."

[–]5K337Lord 9 points10 points ago

I love how if you listen really closely just before he says that there's a guy in the background saying "Holy fucking shit!"

[–]JayDee240 3 points4 points ago

Actually, this guy is so terrified that you can hear his thoughts.

[–]Syntaximus 0 points1 point ago

Pretty sure you can hear everyone involved piss themselves.

[–]IsThisTheOnButton 2 points3 points ago

Oh, I am subscribed.. I think.. Can't tell anymore since YouTube decided to screw with their layout.

[–]RagNoRock5x 1 point2 points ago

What video was that from?

[–]gobrowns88 1 point2 points ago

Has he never heard of shrapnel?

[–]MisterScalawag 0 points1 point ago

he does it for effect.

[–]Dark_Vulture83 2 points3 points ago

I am honestly shocked he haven't be seriously tagged by shrapnel yet, I know his camera man has been tagged.

[–]afkreddit 2 points3 points ago

It seems very likely that he wasnt actually that close to the truck. I'm no scientist but i would think the blast wave would have hurt him quite a bit. Not to mention it looks like the only direction that shrapnel wasnt thrown was were he was standing as if it were deleted.

[–]Fozzegrim 0 points1 point ago

Its Tannerite, no way he would be hurt by that blast wave. Shrapnel is another thing. But he is not standing as close as it seems, and the camera man is way further behind with a tele lens.

Im guessing they put in a bit too much tannerite.

[–]americanbiker91 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, I feel like the debris is just getting closer and closer has his videos progress. That said, great video and great gif.

[–]spiceweezil 1 point2 points ago

I hope after that close call, he has nice day.

[–]guatemalianrhino 1 point2 points ago

Somebody should talk to him about safety, these debris could pierce through somebody.

[–]MisterScalawag 2 points3 points ago

He does it for effect. In the podcast that he is apart of he talks about how there has been times that he did get hit but he couldn't but it on youtube because of their terms of service. Although he was lucky and wearing a flak jacket when he got hit in the past.

[–]BdrLen 1 point2 points ago

That shit could cut you in half at that distance.

This is why I always wear eye protection. Because you know, truck shrapnel is bad for your eyes.

[–]CantaloupeCamper 1 point2 points ago

Good thing he turned his head....

[–]nickiter -1 points0 points ago

The fact that this guy still has both eyes and all of his fingers is amazing.

[–]bathroomstalin 1 point2 points ago

If FPS Russia had died, it will have been worth it if this can be converted into a somewhat awesome upvote/downvote .gif

[–]spartanjet 0 points1 point ago

How is he not dead yet. Shit keeps flying past him.

[–]Afin12 1 point2 points ago

I like the explosions, but he doesn't have to be standing that close. That was the car door going by him and it damn near took him out. FPSRussia, if you read this, please be more careful so that you can continue posting videos? Kthnx

I couldn't believe this when I saw it last night. HOW DID HE NOT DIE!?

[–]l1ghtning 1 point2 points ago

Some safety glasses would be too uncool I guess. I suppose a gore video of his inevitable eye injury will get his channel quite a lot of ad revenue though, I suppose, before youtube removes it.

[–]DOUGUOD 0 points1 point ago

This guy is going down like Steve Irwin, dying doing what he loves. I'm not trying to be disrespectful but theres a fine line between crazy and stupid, he just crossed it... Which, I guess, may be a step further than the late adventurer depending on how you look at it.

[–]Nefarious_Lobster 1 point2 points ago

Well, that's definitely one way to kill yourself on camera.

[–]goldenrod 0 points1 point ago

How does he get his hands on so much shit? A lot of that is illegal. o_O

Did you see how the door actually hits the ground right in front of him and then ricochets off to the side, just slightly missing both him and the cameraman? Talk about close calls...

[–]lurker_becomes_lurkd -1 points0 points ago

Wait, isn't most of the stuff on this guy's show just CGI?

[–]the_empire_of_death 0 points1 point ago

Every time there's a FPS Russia post, I already know what the top comments are going to be. "I liked him better when he was FPSKyle"...and..."FPSKyle was better but he deleted his channel and all his old videos".

[–]MisterScalawag 0 points1 point ago

He didn't delete his channel or his videos. His videos are private now, but his channel is still up.
