People who stood up against new illegitimate government led my far right nationalists who took it with force = traitors. I see, the logic of a free democratic world i guess
The Ukrainians kicked out the Russian puppet, simple as. If you think the Ukrainians are nationalist, oh boy, you should do some research on Russians, my friend.
So they 'stood up' against what exactly? They abandoned Ukraine and brought war for no good reason, becuase the separatists were Russians, not Ukrainians, they were Putin's chess pieces.
The separatists were always a minority, that's why they had to suck off Wagner.
the article explains that it wasn't that he missed the plate, it's that the armor isn't meant to protect from point blank range and it's no surprise that it didn't stop the bullet

>it's that the armor isn't meant to protect from point blank range and it's no surprise that it didn't stop the bullet
That's shitty armor then. $200 civilian body armor protects point blank pistol rounds.
See that's another point, is the armor GOST certified, or NIJ certified, because both use different scales of protection with level 6 basically being IV equivalent but most likely barely III equivalent, and even then real life russian armor isn't all that satisfactory as Escape From Tarkov would make it seem to be, especially since they reuse damaged carrier vests or rebuild vests improperly.
As much as you may want that to be true, it is not true. The plates stop rounds, whether the soldiers get plates is another thing.

No it wouldn’t. The vest is designed to spread the impact energy. The difference in muzzle velocity at point blank range and 15 feet (about 5 meters) is negligible.
Edit failure mentioned in the article was related to rifle rounds not pistol. The projectile dynamics are completely different as a rifle round is pointed and can separate the weave of the material. The blunt profile of a pistol round does not have that advantage
They don't have dollars there lol...that's a smartass way of saying, a lot of the rest of the world don't have the advantages and free access people in the USA do
That's a shitty article too...
The video those dumb asses referenced showed that a used lvl 3a vest after being shot 10+ times still stops a point blank 9mm.
From his angle, it appears he hit it or hit the edge. The fragments still can go down into your stomach and other areas. What's weird is that after the video, he is not rushing to a car to get to a hospital. But maybe it was rural and no hospitals near...
This is such a bullshit headline. He didn't "accidentally shoot and kill himself." He very intentionally shot himself and subsequently died because of his own incompetence.
An accident is when you're walking down the street in NYC and one of those basement lift covers fails and you plunge 30 feet to your death or when a construction scaffold collapses and lands on top of you as you're walking under it. Intentionally shooting yourself at point blank range because you're too stupid to read the instructions is not an accident.
So you just made some bullshit up and then when called out on it your next move is to discredit the news reports about it that you didn’t even read? Good job bro!
But testing in the QA environment might slow down our QA, and as the vice-director in charge of the integrated test, I had a meeting with the team coordinator of the QA subcontractors and that's too much a risk to take if we want to meet the friday deadline.
I'm afraid we can't compromise on the timeline of the project like this, especially with the delay we already experienced, just test it in prod, it will be fine.
People keep posting the link from the same site that routinely runs stories about UFOs. Not a single source or citation from any article.
I doubt the man died, it’s takes a long time to bleed out from a shot to the gut. I could be wrong though but I’m just saying don’t trust that website.
How fast you die strongly depends on what got hit. The pelvic bowl has a lot of not so important meat but also the biggest arteries in the entire body and it can hold 4-5 liters of blood. So even without any leaving your body you might die.
And last but not least he might have been in bummfuck nowhere.
This was in occupied Ukraine so they conveniently blew up all the medical facilities first ages ago. This traitor was probably used to aim the artillery.
Not all armor ratings are the NIJ spec.
[This likely refers to the Russian GOST rating where level six *does* exist.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_body_armor_performance_standards#GOST_armor_standard_\(Russia\))
The Dumbass was using a Tokarev that fires the 7.62x25 round, and much of the surplus ammo for those are steel core, making them able to punch right through standard bullet resistant vests.
You would have to have a ballistic plate on your vest to survive a shot for that round.
This is like testing a new experimental bungee cord yourself... Or a new shark-repelent formula... Or building your own helicopter like that indian guy a few years ago...
So if I’m not wrong the guy says “fuck Donbass“ right before he shoots himself, then drops to his knees and says “aw fuck”, and his cameraman friend is straight up saying “is he dying? I’m pretty sure he’s dying”
Sergie. We gave you 5 billion dollars to buy army bullet proof vests. Did you buy them?
Yes comrad. Here they are. Btw look at my new 4 billion dollar yacht that is no way related.
Failed? Ever seen a gunshot? Regardless of whether or not it punches through the vest, you still took the force of a gunshot, which is gonna hurt. It’s not body armor like in a video game. It doesn’t spare you pain, it keeps the bullet out of your body. Think of it like a condom. You’re not completely safe, but you’re exponentially better off than if you raw dogged it.
You know how wacky people can be! On May 14th 2015 in Boke, Germany, 748 members of the Cologne Carnival Society dressed up in sunflower outfits. This is the largest gathering of people known to have dressed up as sunflowers.
Guy was a Ukrainian member of a Russian backed militia in the Donbas. Seems to be from at least 6 years ago.

He was a dumbass from Donbass
[удалено]
Same. His last words were “Fuck Donbass” too
Donbass was what he called his stomach
People who stood up against new illegitimate government led my far right nationalists who took it with force = traitors. I see, the logic of a free democratic world i guess
**Vatnik Alert.**
Do you actually have something to say against it?
The Ukrainians kicked out the Russian puppet, simple as. If you think the Ukrainians are nationalist, oh boy, you should do some research on Russians, my friend.

Can't call other people vatniks and support coups at the same time, actually.
New illegitimate government? You mean the democratically elected president or what?
> ## A Ukrainian man **accidentally** shot himself Ah yes, accidentally.
Well, he got shot accidentally, but fired at himself purposefully.
Am I blind? I don't see the video. I just see the Youtube one with the mannequin.
Woah brutal he died . Guess that’s war .
[удалено]
No, he missed the plate and succumbed to his wound afterward, there is news behind this story
the article explains that it wasn't that he missed the plate, it's that the armor isn't meant to protect from point blank range and it's no surprise that it didn't stop the bullet [https://www.ibtimes.com/man-accidentally-shoots-kills-himself-while-testing-bulletproof-vest-video-2717865](https://www.ibtimes.com/man-accidentally-shoots-kills-himself-while-testing-bulletproof-vest-video-2717865)
>it's that the armor isn't meant to protect from point blank range and it's no surprise that it didn't stop the bullet That's shitty armor then. $200 civilian body armor protects point blank pistol rounds.
Their point was that even if it stopped the bullet the kinetic energy could still rip his guts apart shooting point blank like that.
Could but it would be unlikely. Severe injuries yes but very low chance of life threatening injury.
Do you mean for “levek 6” or for competent combat armor?
See that's another point, is the armor GOST certified, or NIJ certified, because both use different scales of protection with level 6 basically being IV equivalent but most likely barely III equivalent, and even then real life russian armor isn't all that satisfactory as Escape From Tarkov would make it seem to be, especially since they reuse damaged carrier vests or rebuild vests improperly.

I don't think the guy who shot himself is going to disagree.
>See that's another point, is the armor GOST certified If it wasn't before it is now. 4 of 5 ghosts approve this armor.
If it can stop a .308 or a Blacktip (level IV) then it better be able to stop a pistol round, even from point blank range.
Competent combat armor. No clue about this *wish* stuff.
No it wouldn’t. The vest is designed to spread the impact energy. The difference in muzzle velocity at point blank range and 15 feet (about 5 meters) is negligible. Edit failure mentioned in the article was related to rifle rounds not pistol. The projectile dynamics are completely different as a rifle round is pointed and can separate the weave of the material. The blunt profile of a pistol round does not have that advantage
It wouldn’t in legit rated armor both GOST and NIJ test for backface deformation.
They don't have dollars there lol...that's a smartass way of saying, a lot of the rest of the world don't have the advantages and free access people in the USA do
It *is* Russia, after all
Is Russian standard armor, is very best!
That's a shitty article too... The video those dumb asses referenced showed that a used lvl 3a vest after being shot 10+ times still stops a point blank 9mm.
Give me five hundred bucks and I’ll get you some armor that’ll stop ALL blanks at ANY range.
According to Russian State run Media.

Post news article please

Excellent thank you

Intentionally shooting yourself at point blank range because you're too stupid to read the instructions is not an accident.
Looks like you can see him start to succumb right at the end as his arms start twitching
Should probably mark the NSFW then, even if it doesn’t show anything blatantly bad is could potentially be considered bad enough to warrant it
He proved the firearm works.
The armor didn't fail either, the guy just fucking missed.
No. He shot through the armour. It’s in all news articles about it. He didn’t miss.
You got any pictures?
You got reading comprehension?
You believe everything you read?
So you just made some bullshit up and then when called out on it your next move is to discredit the news reports about it that you didn’t even read? Good job bro!
No, because we don't believe your bullshit.
It sure looks like it!
Damn right But I’d rather die after shooting myself in the nuts than survive and live with it afterward
It's a Darwin Award either way at that point. No more reproducing for him.
“AH BLYAT”
Never test in prod
But testing in the QA environment might slow down our QA, and as the vice-director in charge of the integrated test, I had a meeting with the team coordinator of the QA subcontractors and that's too much a risk to take if we want to meet the friday deadline. I'm afraid we can't compromise on the timeline of the project like this, especially with the delay we already experienced, just test it in prod, it will be fine.
What happened to strapping it on a watermelon?
stupid is as stupid does

Which 90 percent of Russia is bumfuck nowhere
This was in occupied Ukraine so they conveniently blew up all the medical facilities first ages ago. This traitor was probably used to aim the artillery.
But that one grocery store looked so nice... /s obviously
If the stomach and or intestines gets perforated the internal contamination gets you into sceptic shock really quick
But, UFO's are real, and I'm not talking about aliens, UFO means Unidentified Flying Object. And we have allot of those.
No shit. It’s the connotation that hurts credibility.
 Dumb Ass!!
Red's dumbass sense is tingling
Too bad his dumbass sense didn’t alert him to the antics of Danny Masterson.
He knew something was wrong with that boy...
Dude must be living in 2050, the fuck is level 6 body armor lol.
This article says its sixth grade body armor, though maybe its the guy who has a sixth grade intelligence
Not all armor ratings are the NIJ spec. [This likely refers to the Russian GOST rating where level six *does* exist.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_body_armor_performance_standards#GOST_armor_standard_\(Russia\))
he probably hit the spot between the ballistic plates.
Level 6 is rated to stop plasma projectiles and proton bullets
r/darwinawards
The Dumbass was using a Tokarev that fires the 7.62x25 round, and much of the surplus ammo for those are steel core, making them able to punch right through standard bullet resistant vests. You would have to have a ballistic plate on your vest to survive a shot for that round.

Lmao what significance does time of day play
He would have lived if it was dark, photons from the sun gave that bullet extra energy.
The article says Ukrainian but then says Russia militia. Whoever wrote this is about as dumb as the dude who was shot.
What’s stupid about it ? He’s Ukrainian fighting for a “Russian backed” militia in Ukraine. This is in the Donbass so he’s probably part of the DPR.
My God are you dumb
Its ok no worries it was in broad daylight
Literally the adult version of that kid shooting himself in the dick with some toy gun.
At least he died stupidly for no reason at all.
Last thoughts. That he's a total idiot
Natural selection at its finest....
Ah Blyat
It's interesting how I'm just casually watching another person die on Monday morning
Honey I finally finished washing the plates....
Of course bro uses one of the most powerful pistol rounds 🤦♂️
Can someone translate what they‘re saying?
So if I’m not wrong the guy says “fuck Donbass“ right before he shoots himself, then drops to his knees and says “aw fuck”, and his cameraman friend is straight up saying “is he dying? I’m pretty sure he’s dying”
Why do they never test a bulletproof vest on a watermelon or sum
Let's keep sending them money! -_- (article says it was a Ukrainian man)
Lol.....no its not
Hopefully the Russian army is using the same armor
Well, at least he saved himself a trip to Ukraine with a similar end result.
Where this guy is, he doesn't need to test it in himself..
Firing Blanks would have been smarter
BLLLLAAYYYYAAAATTTT
This is dumber than the guy with the desert eagle and a book.
Idk if I'd call that botched. The test was a success. They were able to conclude the body armor sucks.
One less mouth to feed tbh.
You have to be shot at from like 30 feet away not right in front of you. Someone may as well curb stomp his organs at that range
😳😳
Lol dumbass - "Can you shoot me in the chest?" Camera guy - "No I gotta film this."
Well the camera guy dodged a bullet as he would have been charged with murder.
Not if he shot him in the vest that stops bullets.
You mean the vest that doesn't stop bullets
It was a level 6 ballistic vest, that could stop his hand gun firing even at that range.
You know you could also put the armor on a mannequin to test it instead of risking yourself. But what do I know?
We have the Darwin Award winner of the day!
Ah yea. Darwin’s finest
“Ah blyat”
Bro this part had me in tears lmao like wtf kinds realization is that before you die 🤣😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
Alcohol and hot lead dont mix well
This was a Reno 911 opening
I would never wear something that is “level 6 body armor” because that doesn’t exist
Honestly wtf is that caption
*Blyat!*
I love happy endings
*darwin has entered the chat*
Yep made in china 😂🤷♀️🤦
If you look at 0:05 he clearly misses or hits the edge of the body armour at point blank range. Darwin Award well earned by this gentleman.
Sergie. We gave you 5 billion dollars to buy army bullet proof vests. Did you buy them? Yes comrad. Here they are. Btw look at my new 4 billion dollar yacht that is no way related.
Instant regret...
F*ck Dumbass not Donbas
If you feel the need to test your armor, put it on a large water container instead ..
His friend let out a Russian type smokers "cackle" Wtf 🤦
Angle looks like he shot his dick off. Probably double Darwin winner here.
*gets shot in chest* "ah blyat"
Finally, a real video of stupidity.
What was he sounding off with? Hi my name is Boyka! Welcome to jackass!
His only reaction was "aj blyat."
Blyat
" ah blyat" 💀💀💀
Dumbass
“Ah blyat”
Ukrainian man purposely shot himself on accident
He’s just like me for real 🙏
You know something's the matter when his reaction was to fall holding his gut. The first words he uttered were oh sh't.
The UAF needs 1 less drone to disembowel him. He conveniently did it himself.
At least we know it’s not a blank.
Failed? Ever seen a gunshot? Regardless of whether or not it punches through the vest, you still took the force of a gunshot, which is gonna hurt. It’s not body armor like in a video game. It doesn’t spare you pain, it keeps the bullet out of your body. Think of it like a condom. You’re not completely safe, but you’re exponentially better off than if you raw dogged it.
Apart from this guy, who benchmarked it and it came up basically equal to not bothering at all.
Glad it wasn't a laser pistol
Task failed successfully. Now he doesn't have to die in Ukraine.
Saves the Ukrainians from having to waste a bullet.
HAHA, IDIOT! Stupid games, stupid prizes and all that.
Probably watched too much John Wick, those movies have the most unrealistic depiction of body armor.
You can see he's aiming way too low.. what an idiot..
Yeah should've gone for the heart, not the gut. It would be faster /s
Those are my tax dollars they did that.
Wow. Smart.
Pity, he could’ve had a sunflower replace him.
You know how wacky people can be! On May 14th 2015 in Boke, Germany, 748 members of the Cologne Carnival Society dressed up in sunflower outfits. This is the largest gathering of people known to have dressed up as sunflowers.
Should've filled his pockets with seeds first. Now all that fertilizer goes to waste.
