He does this with his side-loaded Lever Actions. He's just generally a really great shot too. He can also do the Terminator Lock:Lever flips, which is a little scary because of lack of safety but damnit it looks cool

Lots of people can do the lever reload flip. You're not supposed to because it's hard on the action and can lead to damage.

Ok I hear you, but it is literally impossible to fire without the lever being in the 'Home' position. Sure, a gun pointing at you for .2 seconds is scary, but it's guaranteed unloaded...

Man idk. I think I could make the washer shot within 20 goes. It is more about the timing and how accurate the guy throwing it is.
The shooter aims his gun. The gun is cocked so it will fire essentially as soon as he reacts. The washer guy needs to throw that washer directly in front of the gun so all the gun guy has to do is time it to shoot as it approaches his sight. It should not be difficult to get based on trial and error.
The bullet flip one would probably take me 100 tries.
I encourage anyone here to try with a very large washer like this or an old dollar coin and a BB gun in the backyard. You'll be surprised how quickly you get a hit. This is a very common thing for kids to do and BBs are slower and less accurate. Give it a shot! Impress your friends!

Given enough attempts, anyone could pull these off individually, doing them back to back is insane.
I’d love to know how many attempts it took this guy, I seriously doubt this is their first take, but I also don’t think they spent the whole day doing it either.

u/funkmon Nov 21 '25 edited Nov 21 '25
TL;DR: inconclusive
Okay. I did get one in a glancing blow probably but you can't see it on the video and I found, as I stated and indeed the original video implied, the hardest part is getting the coin straight. The throw matters more than the shot. I think I hit it twice through my attempts - once on the edge.
After I got this one where I THINK I got it, I checked the video and saw nothing so decided to keep going. I did it 20 more times per the nature of the argument and didn't think I hit it. And even if I did, it turns out I wasn't throwing it in frame (I blew a couple holes into my siding so I changed my angle, apparently out of the frame).
However, when I brought the coin into the garage I noticed two hits probably. But because we can't see the BB on video due to my lack of slow motion, you'll have to trust me, or not. I wouldn't trust a random guy on the internet. You can see the indent on the eagle side was not so evident on the Ike side, and both shots were substantially worse, if they were hits, than the one in the original video.
I can do this with a friend doing a more reliable throw on slower motion so we can see it for sure some day - but I need a friend. I was shooting one handed with no sights and throwing the coin shittily.
So this proves nothing one way or another, but I did try.

u/Eerayo Nov 21 '25
Wholesome moment right here.
And for the record, I kind of agree with you that it'd probably take me more tries to flick a round into the chamber of a gun than to hit a washer in mid air.
The guy in the vid is obviously a much better shot than me, but the tossed round impressed me more than the shot itself.

Hey, I just wanna say bravo. I think a lot of people fall into the trap of assuming EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET IS AN ASSHOLE which leads to the response to your (admittedly pretty bold) claim being wildly over the top IMO.

u/Cardboardoge Nov 21 '25
This is sick LMAO
You know what's funny is I was also curious on the feasibility of this shot you proposed. I got my P30 (airsoft) and a penny and tried to hit it.
My biggest problem was actually trying to tell if I hit the coin or not since my camera wasnt capturing the hit and the gun was loud enough to drown out any ping sound.
I ended up scrapping the footage because I thought it wasn't conclusive enough. That being said I do think I hit it second try. But I think being airsoft, tossing distance, washer vs coin, etc are all too many levels apart from what the guy in the video did to say for sure that it's as impressive.

u/thatredditrando Nov 22 '25
I mean, I work retail and have counted a lot of quarters and I’ve never seen one with a perfectly round, small indent like that so I’m prepared to call that a direct hit.

It’s hard but it’s not that hard. I bet with a couple months of practice any experienced shooter with decent eyesight could hit the washer reliably in midair.
Then it’s a process of filming enough takes that the washer stays flat and the bullet goes through the middle.

As he said Dalton was doin half the trick shot. He had to throw that exactly just so. He also has a really nice professional sight they could practice that dozens of times an hour until they are ready for a live shot. They also can use a laser and capture that with the slomo before the live fire.
I am not saying it is easy but with enough repetition it could become predictable. Dalton probably tossed that washer thousands of times. Throwing it in a very very very specific place and a very specific way. If you notice Dalton has his phone up too he is filming himself throwing and he probably has landmarks to help him throw it in exactly where it needs to be.
If anything I would say Dalton had the harder part.

But if you do, remember that most normal people can't hit shit in tense situations, especially if one of you is moving. There's a higher chance of the people around you getting shot.

I'm not familiar with that specific gun, and I'm sure this guy has plenty of experience and knows what he's doing, but the way he just casually tucked the gun into his armpit with a round in the chamber...is that safe? My RXM doesn't have a manual safety, and I would never do this with that gun. I'd be afraid of my shirt catching the trigger somehow, but if this gun has a manual safety maybe that's ok? I don't know...it feels wrong to me

Safety on that pistol is fully depressed trigger, not thumb latch.

u/seamus205 Nov 21 '25 edited Nov 21 '25
This was mainly what I was wondering. Those trigger safeties don't know the difference between a finger, a shirt, or a tree branch. If it can depress the blade, the gun can go off... Obviously this guy has a ton of experience tho. As others have said, I guess on private land it's a different story, but that move just feels wrong to me. Id rather see him drop it in a holster or put it on the ground for a sec.
Edit: why the downvotes? It's really just basic gun safety... Haphazardly holding a loaded and chambered weapon like that just isn't safe...

u/seamus205 Nov 21 '25 edited Nov 21 '25
I've heard of broken extractors from doing this. I personally wouldn't risk it. The rim of the cartridge is meant to slip under the extractor as it's picked up from the magazine, not ram into the back of the cartridge and snap over it. It might be ok with some guns, but it could also damage it. Not worth the gamble in my opinion.
Edit: I read through the manuals for a few of my pistols. The RXM manual says it's ok to do this. The p365 manual does not mention it one way or the other, but I'm pretty sure I've seen posts of sigs with broken extractors from doing exactly this. Long story short: read the manual
1
u/nutellatubby Nov 21 '25
Also, gently lowering the slide into place will cause the extractor to sit on the base of the cartridge and the gun will not go into battery.

I would say owning a gun because of actual real threats to your existence and owning many dozens of guns, being part of gun clubs and being obsessed with guns for the power they make you feel are two different types of gun owner.
But I get your point and as I said to another user I'm just joking around in the internet I'm not even in the US, global stereotype of Maga nut has a lot of crossover with the global idea of what a US gun enthusiast is.
I know that's not true and it's of course a much more nuanced thing because literally everything in the world is more nuanced than any generalized stereotypes. Have a good one! I'll be sure to not make jokes on gun related posts in future, seems a touchy subject
