That is funny in a horror movie sort of way.Of course I already have the Boom Box version in matte black with holo- optics.

Joking aside, several things really freaked me out to the point of distraction in the video, mostly the terrifyingly unsafe handling of the firearm.
1) Fired 5 rounds (looks like a smith 357 K or N frame.. it holds 6 ) then pointed the gun up as she removed it from the firing station. (should have stepped back, pointed it at the ground down range and opened the cylinder.)
2) Never removed her finger from the trigger. (this will get you a warning on our range from the range safety officer and the people around you will ask if you are "ok" ( a nice way of saying WTF? ) ) 3) if you watch closely, with her finger on the trigger, she briefly "covers" the cameraman with the barrel (This will get you kicked OFF of our range for the day) 4) Proceeded to talk about the safety release with the gun pointed at the camera man and "across" the firing line. (You would be uninvited forever on our range) Note: Let's ignore that this is RETARDED since she is holding a revolver. They don't have safeties. She was pointing to the cylinder release.
Finally, when she pulled the trigger. Holy Crap..We (literally) live by the rule that a gun with a closed cylinder *is* loaded even if you emptied and closed it yourself.
I understand that to do this in the movies (think deer hunter) requires a prop master and an armorer to physically have possession of a disabled firearm until the second before the scene is shot. There were some edit cuts so perhaps they really did know what they were doing, but damn, it didn't look that way.
