Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I'm sure it makes me a nerd to think how much that bike in the background would be worth today. I'd rock the shit out of that thing.

I was testing out bullet proof vests before guns were even invented. You don't even know.

How did he know the people shooting him had good aim?

My guess would be, he figured that out after the shot.

That little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy.

Boom. Head shot.

Testing a bulletproof vest? Looks more like the vest guy's aura is about to disarm that guy drawing down on him.

That looks more like a demonstration since the police are standing in the background. I'm sure its efficiency was tested thoroughly before someone said, "Yeah, I'll put it on. Then you can shoot me!" Actually being shot at while wearing the thing is a pretty good sales pitch.

that still takes nuts the size of bowling balls to allow someone to shoot you from five feet away.

I found the image on the Wikipedia page for ballistic vests here, where it says it was a test, but I'm sure you're right that they would have tested it beforehand, and that the photo is of a demonstration rather than a test.

Also, here's another bulletproof vest test/demonstration from 1901, which is taken from the Wikipedia page too.
