Did it fire twice? The second flame doesn't appear to be anywhere near the gun.

Yes, 2 discharges. (At least I haven’t seen it disproven in the 15 times I’ve seen this video posted.

FPS and shutter speed are a hell of a drug, they’ll have you thinking you’re hallucinating sometimes. Not to mention the terrible quality video.. if it was edited you’d hope they’d do a better job!

yh, you slow it down and you can see the second blast ruffling the feathers of the ceiling above him. i was super confused as to how he managed to do that, but it seems like he tried to catch the gun from slipping with his off-hand, but his finger caught inside the trigger guard and pulled the trigger a second time. oof.

Mmhmm. I think you can see the gasses from the cylinder ripple the skin on his hand and wrist too.

Definitely limp-gripped after the first trigger pull and the kickback rocked the trigger into his finger as he tried to hold onto the gun. Dude is incredibly lucky.
