Its illegal as well as unsafe. look at another video of same guy firing 12Bore greener, how he is swinging his gun towards the cameraman after firing the shot. He can o with some lessons in gun safety for sure.

BTW read the description in .32 video.

"A .32 gauge revolver....the only problem with this arm is as it is hold to close...very often the particles of gunpowder come to your face"

Is this happens with all .32 revolvers of he got a faulty piece?

Kanwar,

This is true with most revolvers, though some much worse that others.

There is a gap between the cylinder and the barrel, and depending on how big this gap is there can be a lot or a little powder come out of it. If you ever have an opportunity to watch someone fire a revolver at night you will often see the flame exiting to the sides.

Hey friends,
its true that it is illegal to fire your fire arms even in the air when u are in a city area, as i know 2 people who have got a case regd. against them recently for firing in the air on birthday paties. It is an offence under section 336 as per the Newspapers.It is a bailable offence but the case still stands.
regards
Happy.
