He is on his 4th cameraman, however.

[–]dghughes 222 points223 points ago

That was my thought you see the giant cartwheeling piece of shrapnel miss him but it looked like it went very close to the camera/cameraman (if there was one).

[–]jas330 241 points242 points ago

It actually hit the camera man i believe

Edit im wrong it was this video the camera man got hit http://youtu.be/tD0PKDGlwiw?t=5m25s

[–]ARedFez 69 points70 points ago

He just drops so defeatedly.

boom contact falls "Ah." camera crash

[–]bigmenace 121 points122 points ago

He got hit in the leg from the shrapnel.

(screenshot of the article from FPS Russia's FB)

[–]mszegedy 119 points120 points ago

Oh, it wasn't life-threatening or anything. It just went to the bone.

    "so, my camera man had little bit of an accident, so I've got to get to a hospital, like my video!"

    Classic.

    [–]ClearlyFortunate 14 points15 points ago

    except he didn't say "like my video", he said "have a nice day" for a this reason

    [–]jdzz 12 points13 points ago

    Did I just read the above sentence in his fake Russian in my head?

        Based on the fact that FPSRussian didn't look concerned nor did the camera move at all, I would bet it was on a tripod.

        [–]alatare 178 points179 points ago

        or he used a Russian cameraman, who simply didn't budge.

        [–]SpruceCaboose 28 points29 points ago

        You raise a compelling point.

        [–]RXDT690 27 points28 points ago

        He isn't even Russian himself. Its all an act. He just likes the accent, so he practiced enough.

        [–]alatare 11 points12 points ago

        Being Eastern European, I could tell there was something fishy. Thanks for confirming!

        [–]RXDT690 8 points9 points ago

        No problem. Umm what else. He makes 6 figures each year off youtube videos. Not sure exactly on how much, I believe less than 200k.

        Also more about the accent, I believe he's been doing it since he was in his early teens. He just made himself into the character he is, and acts it out. Sure its not the best, but its makes the videos that much better.

            Not a bad thought process but his cameraman, Scott, is his cousin and he doesn't know the first thing about video. They just set everything they have to "auto" and he points it in the right direction.

            Scott's sole qualification for the job is that he never ever flinches when things explode. The guy is seriously country, strong as an ox, and scared of nothing.

            Source: FPS Russia is a friend of mine. I also know Scott a little bit.

            Edit: If anybody cares, I'm the guy in this video doing most of the talking. I know, I needed a shave. My wife was gone so I let it go. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwGDiNoO8_g

            [–]beer_butts_breakfast 38 points39 points ago

            Where do I have to move to have friends like this? Because guns and shit.

            [–]vanguard_anon 47 points48 points ago

            I actually live about 4 1/2 hours from him. We met through youtube. I do a podcast called Painkiller Already with his close associate, FPS Kyle, weekly.

            [–]ItsJustNigel 49 points50 points ago

            Attention those who are as yet unawares: This is WoodysGamertag from Youtube. He makes gaming videos and is a very cool guy. He is definitely friends with FPS' Russia and Kyle.

            [–]vanguard_anon 44 points45 points ago

            is a very cool guy

            Aww, thanks man. :)

            [–]ItsJustNigel 10 points11 points ago

            I'm kind of excited that you're talking to me right now.

            Also, as a helpful hint if you put a ">" before your words, it will make the blue quote line you are trying to emulate.

                          Certainly on his second producer.

                          I don't think you can attribute that to him, though.

                          His producer was murdered. Shot to the head if memory serves, though I don't know why.

                          It's still under investigation, it happened like a week or two ago.

                                              Looks more like his chair is dropping into a trap door.. or like that chair is the elevator to the secret base below the banquet hall

                                              haha in the forward one it looks that way too, like he's just taken the elevator chair up from the secret base below the banquet hall

He just tends to neglect his own safety after the rounds connect. Not a good idea for him, but it doesn't adversely affect anyone who didn't know what they were getting into.

No protection on his body from large pieces of debris and no eye/face protection. This is far from loose, that's just reckless

                                                                                                                Also check the slow mo at the end of the video, you can clearly see the door leaving in the direction the shrapnel was traveling. Also the gaping hole where a door should be when the smoke clears.

                                                                                                                [–]Umpa 67 points68 points ago

In the end, though, I found it rather funny. Definitely not /r/wtf. /r/gifs probably would have worked, but what are you gonna do?
