They should be in prison. Youtube should be advised to remove this vedio.
There will be more jokers trying this stunt inspite of the disclaimer.

False Alarm Guys . Subal's right.
This guy seems to be special effects wiz who makes FX Vids.
Here's another one he made: A shootup of clones.

I was just shocked to see the first video. I was wondering why he was wearing that stupid helmet in the first place. As if it would really help if the guy had shot a few inches down.
This FX guy is good at his job.
I think he is the same guy who was there in a video posted earlier "Does size matter?"

That's Freddy guys, He is very good with FX. I guess that was After Effects with Action Essentials as I see a same watermelon blast in the Action Essentials pack.

I recognise him from the video 'size does matter' which was posted ?here some time ago.
Also did you notice the message in the video that says "no we didnt actually shoot the melon".

2 cents on this, remember the spate of kids copying Shaktimaan and jumping from rooftops? Any mature person might make out the disclaimers (these stunts are performed by experts, don't try this at home, this is all SFX, we didn't shoot the melon, etc.), but for kids, it will be just something exciting to do. "Kids" here include teens who can and do have access to at least airguns. And of course, maturity, like common sense, is rather a rarity in this world.
And sometimes SFX does go horribly wrong. Remember Brandon Lee?
