A good cameraman is hard to come by TrogL Jan 2013 #67

A tripod shot. He hobbled to his camera to get his face in the scene. Was he really shot? Faked? Coyotl Jan 2013 #79

It seems pretty real to me Oilwellian Jan 2013 #84

If it is faked, the flash is because he used a blank for the shot. Check the kickback!! Coyotl Jan 2013 #119

Even a blank at that range can hurt or kill tavalon Jan 2013 #105

Not at that angle and not if you prepare for it with good clothing. Coyotl Jan 2013 #120
