Rocket propelled grenade launch with no earplugs

[soullessSiIence]

Oh, i don't use earplugs, I'm really tough.

[DjCroNext]

never shoot with gun and u started with RPG !!! dude WTF ????

[gadadhoon]

@DjCroNext That's how I do things. On the whole, it works pretty well.

[HandMekeysYouFuCoSkr]

Either you were ill advised or were stupid not to wear earmuffs, but sorry about your ears. Sucks. Hopefully you aren't too phased by it.

[partybox1198]

thumbs up if your wondering why the ppl are white

[jismjacket]

Moron.....fire a gun before you fire an RPG.

Protective ear and eye gear is important!!!!

I went to a Mongolian military tourist camp to see the shooting range.

[XEPICfailGAMERX]

I hope your doing okay :)

[Aizura77]

Why didn't you wear earplugs mate? Way to ruin your hearing. I hope your ears turned out ok in the end? Has the ringing in your ears gone away?

[gadadhoon]

@Aizura77 Nope, it never will. I'm mostly deaf above about 6,000 hz and completely deaf above 12,000. Fortunately those aren't incredibly useful frequencies.

[aluisious]

@gadadhoon Yeah other than music, listening to birds sing, hearing the wind rustle through the grass. Hope it was worth it.

[gadadhoon]

@aluisious Fine on all counts. Not much happening there above 6000 Hz.

[riverman83]

@gadadhoon Relly stupid man. When we fired anti-tank weapons when I was in the service we always used dubbel hearingprotections.

What morrons showed you to use this weapons??

[akon22221]

@gadadhoon or yell

[Dillrod90]

FUCK YOU VOLDERMORT! *fires RPG*

shoulg have used that to kill voldimort......

Why is cam recording in selective color

green

[joshuastark86]

Lol you're taking all these rude comments pretty well...Harry Potter

[gadadhoon]

@joshuastark86 I'm a medical student, so all the 'dumb ass' comments just roll off XD Besides, this was something I did on a whim, so comments from gun enthusiasts don't mean much.

[joshuastark86]

@gadadhoon So essentially your life is like scrubs!

[gadadhoon]

@joshuastark86 Ha! No, more like being chained to a desk for 12 hours a day. Hopefully it will be more like scrubs in the junior year when we all start working in hospitals.

[joshuastark86]

@gadadhoon suuuuuccckk, there go my dreams for the future.

[kokolo789]

@gadadhoon How did you actually reach to fire a gun like that O.o awesome! , i want to fire an rpg :D! keep doin like that dude.

[aluisious]

@gadadhoon You're a med student and you fired a rocket 3 inches from your head without hearing protection? That makes this way funnier, and you way dumber. I hope you never practice medicine on anyone I know, there's something fundamentally wrong with your judgement.

[CwalkerSmiley2011]

u have gut my friend to do that

[justincgs]

great you damaged you ear you idiot!

[Bloodgang818]

Dumb ass

[Hank28899]

Didn't the army tell you to open your mouth?

[gadadhoon]

@Hank28899 Did. Didn't help.

[Melenkurio]

A good RPG should make so much noise usually... It pretty quiet actually compared to what CoD kids think

[eveningniteshade]

@Melenkurio That ain't true buddy. The first charge is basically an explosion to get the rocket out of the barrel before ignition. It's like firing a small canon right next to your ear.

[Melenkurio]

@eveningniteshade Yea I know but I mean the new RPGs which soldiers use today are quiet enough that they can use them without earplugs

[deki740]

First thing you notice is the experienced soldier covering his ears...should have followed suit...

[sketchmeister]

@deki740 One cannot fire an RPG and cover ones eras at the same time. One is not Turkmenistani!

[deki740]

@sketchmeister

Yeah, but they had to have had some ear plugs for him, or some cotton balls. Anything really. Meh, live and learn lol

[ndigknesgn]

Dumbass def for the rest of ur life.

[gadadhoon]

@ndigknesgn only in one ear and only around 7000 Hz, which isn't a useful range anyway. I think I'll stick to what I'm good at and let you guys shoot things.

[BigChiefMike]

dumb ass

[gadadhoon]

@BigChiefMike Ssshhhhh, don't tell anyone.

[BigChiefMike]

@gadadhoon WHAT!? WHAT!? I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I SHOT OFF A RPG WITHOUT EAR PROTECTION!!!

[buzter123]

Who the fuck gave Harry Potter a damn RPG?

[GrenMoyo]

@buzter123 he used the Acio spell ;D... ACIO RPG7!

[paulabner201]

Me:hello

the guy: what?

me: hello

the guy: what?

lmfao xD

[filmfast]

They can't think of any tourist activities, so they let them shoot an RPG?

[FlyingPuppehPants]

Only in Mongolia... lol, really though, you thought that was going to work out for you? What did you think those big ass ear muffs were for in every shooting safety video ever? To look cool?? O.o

[gadadhoon]

@FlyingPuppehPants I never watched any shooting safety videos. This probably wasn't the best choice for my first time shooting something.

[xHyDrOxTenke420]

@gadadhoon lol nope,

my ears are fine,

[xHyDrOxTenke420]

Ear plugs are for bitches anyways,

iv never used ear plugs,

and iv shot one of these babys before,

it was fucking intense,

made my ears ring,

but didnt hurt and plus i was all pumped from shooting it i didnt even care :P

next was AK-47,

[The82ndAA]

@xHyDrOxTenke420 Sure it was man. Sure. We all shoot rpgs and ak47s all day on the internet.

[xHyDrOxTenke420]

@The82ndAA indeed all day on the internet,

holy an hour and a half at the range.

[The82ndAA]

@xHyDrOxTenke420 Yep. That holy hour and and a half

[xHyDrOxTenke420]

@The82ndAA holy? doubts.

awsome,

yes.

[mvolesky1]

@xHyDrOxTenke420 What a positively stupid comment. Only an idiot would intentionally expose themselves to gunfire and other similarly intense noises without hearing protection. Take it from someone who has some hearing loss. When you stop being able to understand what someone is saying to you whenever there is moderate background noise, even when they are standing at arms reach, you'll wish you had been a "bitch" and worn earplugs. Only takes one exposure to cause permanent hearing loss.

[xHyDrOxTenke420]

@mvolesky1 well my ears are fine, i still hear 100% id say.

and iv still shot firearms without ear plugs since,

went to air shows all that loud shit without ear plugs

im fine,

my ears must just be beasts.

[gadadhoon]

@xHyDrOxTenke420 More likely they were complete crap when you were born. It takes a delicate thing to perceive sound well.

[xHyDrOxTenke420]

@gadadhoon if they were complete crap,

when why is my hearing fine as a nice blue sky on a warm summer day?

with an ice cold beer,

and a phat kush popper.

[gadadhoon]

@xHyDrOxTenke420 "Fine" is what you're used to. How's your ear for pitch?

[Kackamann1]

Anyone should make a video where he is shooting a RPG while he is running!

[videodesignerz]

WHAT THE FUCK is a 5 yr old doing with an rpg

[Sokan1993]

RPG doesn't even mean rocket propelled grenade...

[blizzarduk]

Damn man, I feel sorry for you, they should of made sure you had ear protection of some kind or at least prepared you for that blast. I have damaged ears from noise so I can sympathise. Even a pistol needs ear protection, let alone a RPG.

Do you have that broken speaker sound like I have ? Where everyone sounds like they are a robot and an annoying high pitch sound with like a pressure feeling in the ear. Hope it is just an annoyance now.

[gadadhoon]

@blizzarduk have you heard about loudness recruitment? That might be the "broken speaker" thing. Yes, I still have it.

[DJCAPONE124]

@gadadhoon hahaa :D harry potter....welcome to the 21 century

[DJCAPONE124]

What the hell is harry potter doing with RPG.whers your wand...or broom

[gadadhoon]

@DJCAPONE124 I have to keep up with the changes in technology.

[monsterofrock01]

@DJCAPONE124

Holy crap this made me laugh so hard!! xDDD

[32CoolestDude]

@DJCAPONE124

welcome 2 da future

[tkach21]

You do understand that Harry Potter was just filmed getting permanent ear damage haha

[ninetyfive300zx]

i would be there all day shooting those lol

[gamekiiid]

WTF HARRY POTTER AND RPG-7!!!!!

[seal3907]

hahahahaha........



[crazychris0003]

Why would they ever let an idiot shoot a RPG without ear protection? They must be bored and want an idiot not to ask for ear protection so they could laugh at him.

[chaumonstr]

They let them shoot it without ear protection when they're standing back covering their ears?

[AnddoTrailers]

Lol, I can't believe the RPG is meant to be shot by a human. I call bullshit, they have to mount it on the ground and shoot from a far away machine.

[Valholm]

@AnddoTrailers lol, you are a fucking pussy. Any assault weapon is not a big deal, as long as you have ear protection.

[AnddoTrailers]

@Valholm Nobody calls me pussy.

[ThePopeAndy]

I love that I haven't shot a gun before so I'll shoot an RPG first.

OMG lol the ringing still yeah need some ear protection when you use firearms never shot a rocket launcher but from your video now I know it's loud as hell too haha.

[CoolConejo]

I bet your ears are still ringing huh.

[cr199]

haha, rich little prick.

[gadadhoon]

@cr199 ROFLOL! Dude... I was working as an English teacher on a small stipend.

[Valholm]

@gadadhoon my point is that shooting some old ass soaked rusty RPG in a country like Mongolia might be taking too much risk for no reason. Oh well, I don't really care, keep playing call of duty.

[lAMNOTGOOMBA]

UNLESS ITS A FARM

[CreQ]

I might as well post what it says so nobody gets the idea that firing an RPG without ear protection even MIGHT be safe..and that their hearing will be fine as long as the RPG doesn't 'malfunction'.

[A Hamas militant fires an RPG-7 in Gaza City. Note the man to the right PROTECTING HIS EARS (LOL btw, just like in your video!!) The noise signature of an RPG is very high, making it uncomfortable to fire without ear protection. Firing without protection quickly results in permanent hearing damage]

[gadadhoon]

@CreQ Oh really? So having both eardrums blown out is normal? That's certainly news.  Perhaps they should have warned me XD

[wafflePWNAGE22]

@gadadhoon So do you just show up and they hand you a gun or what? I want to shoot one lol nice vid

[hugetird]

@gadadhoon maybe u should use common sence....idiot

[gadadhoon]

@hugetird :) I is good at what I do. Those words are spelled "you", "sense", and "turd" by the way.

[hugetird]

@gadadhoon i know turd and sence was a mistake tird is my name and great comeback by the way

[gadadhoon]

@hugetird lol, I just decided I like you.

[hugetird]

@gadadhoon uhm ok??

[Valholm]

@gadadhoon Getting both eardrums blown out by an RPG is normal, if you are not wearing ear pro. Any assault weapon is designed to be utilized with ear protection. In fact you should not even shoot a pistol, ideally, without the ear pro, since hearing loss accumulates. I understand that you are mad, but dude, it's your ears, your fault really. You know that a serious malfunction on an RPG-type weapon can result in death of the shooter?

They should have warned you about the ears, definitely.

[CreQ]

Look at the guy in the background covering his ears before you shoot. I don't think anything is malfunctioning besides your brain, 'i think something might have gone wrong with the RPG" lmao. Yeah, it's definiely not supposed to make loud noises, yours is defective!!

[gadadhoon]

@CreQ lol, yeah just maybe. On the other hand getting both eardrums blown out is a bit much, hence the comment.

[CreQ]

@gadadhoon That's all relative =) I'd say the powder and the explosion coming out of the back is quite much and that someone firing it without ear protection should be EXPECTING what happened to you books[dot]google[dot]com/books­?id=dY60Knrk97UC&pg=PA50&lpg=P­A50&dq=rpg-7+ear+protection&so­urce=bl&ots=89XcR4krpn&sig=-Ri­pg840lGgjsEK50oygQ0rgXsk&hl=en­&ei=50MaTeqzF5S6sQOEr4igCg&sa=­X&oi=book_result&ct=result&res­num=2&ved=0CBQQ6AEwAQ

Check out the little sidenote just to bottomleft of the animation

[PBZeno]

why is the dude and sky grey while the back round is green

[MrCstricklin]

Is that Harry Potter?

[Hybridhuman100]

Freakin idiot..!

[carbon0HUN]

you are an idiot but nice vid tho lol

[menacevang209]

lmao!!! ohh god that was funny.... xD

[TS0G0]

I think you're not the guy on the video

[gadadhoon]

@TS0G0 тийм үү? lol, if you look up my screen name you'll see I am. And no, I'm not Mongolian.

[TS0G0]

Hey aren't you Mongolian? Why pretend to be American?

[CitizenSoldier211]

Dude I have totally been here, shooting an rpg for ( If I remember ) 90 USD is a deal.

[KesoXorganoff]

Now thats something to tell your grandkids, "An RPG blew out my eardrums, when I was fighting in the Mongolian army"

[SuperBlueflag]

cool experince dude, but prob bad decisions lol

[NJRocks281]

pussy

[gadadhoon]

@NJRocks281 -looks at profile-

Dang man, you might have an American passport, but deep down inside you're astoundingly Russian. Гомосекс.

[mattyew1]

@gadadhoon hes a fag

[Trinitrotoluo]

@NJRocks281 I bet you'd piss your pants firing that beast, grow up kid.

[carlosewm]

That was one of the worse ideas ever had, only second to the project of the atomic bomb lol.

[mlacey56]

Never shot a gun before. LOL.... starting it out right with an RPG!!!

[pixwana]

Why does that guy have a girlfriend? she should leave that wanker and come and hang out with us girls!!!

[TheXtro101]

In real warfare,soldiers and rebel fighters(or guerrillas)don't wear earplugs when they fire high explosive anti-tank rockets(like this RPG-7).

[gadadhoon]

@TheXtro101 Yeah, I know. It was an old launcher, I was holding my ear right next to it, and I have sensitive ears to start off with.

[TheXtro101]

@gadadhoon,it's okay(you got courage.Some YT videos show "girls" trying to shot guns & get wimped out).Not too many regular people in civilized world get to fire 1 of those.Unless they live in countries were there's military conflict all around(13 year old Afghan kids are taught how to fire a weapon like that and even owns a full-automatic AK-47).

[belthazor3457]

@TheXtro101 actually, yes, in real warfare, soldiers DO wear earplugs.

[snuffying]

how are your eardrums ?! are you cured ?

[gadadhoon]

lol, no, I'm stuck with it. Not as bad as it was back then, but I'm stuck with some hearing loss.

[snuffying]

@shit that sucks man... i can't see clearly but you should keep your mouth open to equalize the pressure. maybe you did, but i can't see it from that angle. and i believe that you won't do this again xD

[headphones222]

Man that is why it is so bad for novices to go to one of their "super cool looking gun ranges" and be like "wow man this is so cool"..be cause they do sometihng like that, you will probably now have tinnitus.

Why probably happened is some back blast reflected of the gorund and came back, also dont be sad you missed, most are accurate to 50m!!!

Try to fire standing up.

[headphones222]

Also keep your mouth open to euqalise the air pressure otherwise it will put alot of one way pressure on your eardrum instead of from just one side of it, like what you did.

[gadadhoon]

@headphones222 No, I did that. Honestly I think the main reason is that my ears are sensitive. Everyone in my family has this type of hearing loss.

[John234pwns]

@gadadhoon Um... that's not the reason. You're never supposed to fire a rocket without hearing protection, ever. Actually, rocket launchers and artillery are about the only weapons you're supposed to fire with earplugs in a combat situation.

Sorry for the loss of hearing, but you're a total idiot for even thinking of doing that.

[Valholm]

@headphones222 ear protection would have been enough.

Funny how a computer game boy says that there was possibly something wrong the RPG, after he blows out his fucking head with a motherfucking rocket. What are you thinking, dude? Such a disconnect with reality.

[headphones222]

Its called back blast with high pressure behind, ear muffs would have been fine...

[theBIRDmanJONES]

@headphones222

really ?

[headphones222]

@theBIRDmanJONES

Yessssss... keeping your mouth open is standard practice in firing heavy artillery or large calliber weapons, so you dont blow your ear drums out lol

[ggj666]

did the loud noise also make you turn into black & white for the video clip :o)

[RockstarKaraokeFan]

ear protection. buy some.

[EnigmaHood]

So how are your ears now? Still damaged?

[gadadhoon]

Yep. Tinnitus and recruitment. It will never go away but its more an annoyance than anything else.

[TuAFFalcon]

WHAT? My ears are fucked!

[conjonsilver12]

do u realize how insanly lucky you are to fire an RPG??? I envy you....i would be willing to be deaf in one ear for life to fire one of those....totally should be legal in the USA...lol

[gadadhoon]

Well then go somewhere else for a while. There's tons of things you can do that you can't do in the US, like completely disregard traffic laws, or get cholera.... oh wait, I think the last one is a bad thing. Don't do that.

[bestSVMS]

at least it didnt blow up on you. Popped drum is better than body

[thecombatmaster]

did you loose your hearing forever? is it fixable?

[gadadhoon]

I got a perforated eardrum, tinnitus and recruitment (buzzing whenever there's noise). I can hear fine from one ear, the other will probably be at about 50% for the rest of my life (happy thought).

[thecombatmaster]

Was there something wrong with the RPG-7 launcher, becasue even if you have very sensitive ears its never that bad. Or you may have just had very sensitive ears, since you never did shoot a firearm before. But RPG as your first weapon, thats something to brag about.

[gadadhoon]

There was probably something wrong with it. It was old, and the wooden covering over the launcher was cracked, so who knows what else was wrong with it.

[thecombatmaster]

Yup, although, I'd rather have the luancher malfunction rather than the rocket. Got to love those moments when the rocket falls in front of you spinning and on fire.

[hoodstarx1]

you kind of sound like brian from family guy

[Shatnerpossum]

Now I know where to take my next vacation!

[jesusofspazzareth]

WTF? They let random tourists fire RPGs?

[Loxleiev]

@jesusofspazzareth HALLO MY NAME IS BORAT!

[killer22312]

wow next time put ear plugs its better but im amazed i never done that before

[NoBullAct]

Oh dude I hope you are okay. XD That seems like a lot of fun. But I would wear earplugs and earphones to block out all of that.

Awesome video!

You did good for a first time shooting a gun! I would personally start with a shotgun or a Desert Eagle though.

[RepeatDefender]

Heh... "Yeah, man, I play Call of Duty 4! Of course I can shoot that!" By the way, was it a PG-7 or a PG-7V grenade?

[gadadhoon]

lol, no, I wasn't thinking that... I really wasn't thinking at all. I don't know what kind it was, though I'm guessing it was a PG-7 because that's what the other places let you shoot. This place was just a shack full of guns in the middle of nowhere, probably wasn't a good idea to go there.

[Popsicle22754]

u should have stuck with a 22 before that shit.

[gadadhoon]

lol, we did shoot an AK and some russian rifle, but they didn't prepare me for the pressure wave from this thing. I really needed %$#@ing earplugs.

[jbsummers]

Hilarious. 5 Stars.

[KevinBlackCrusaderSX]

i amaze you experience how to fire a RPG Launcher. To Be Honest i really want to try it.
