Hard to say mate. I don't have the ability to break the video down into individual pics, or slow it right down, so I don't really know. Stopping and starting the video really quickly still doesn't show for certain if it has been Photoshopped.

I note though that he has one misfire, racks/levers the action then has another misfire. One would think that commonsense would mean he would open the action and check the misfired rounds for firing pin strikes. Also, why would the second one be a hangfire and not the first. Also, the hole in the cap peak doesn't have any powder burns around it, which is odd because of the proximity of the cap to the muzzle. Definitely weird.

and its a pretty ragged hole for that range too. Ive shot bunnys and pigs up close with the .12ga and up to 10 feet range the shot hits in a ball we have even picked the wad out of the carcase of pigs and a wallaby shot with the .410 too so the hole should be more even... any other thoughts guys.

Reckon you might be onto something there Elvis, notice after the two shots go off, then missfire, he jacks the action but there is no cartridge ejected, you only see the two fired shots eject. There seems to be some slight movement in the gun or pause in the video just as it shoots his hat off.

Its no wonder he didnt hit his stupid head, took him two shots with 12ga to hit a bottle on the ground at around 10 feet. The first one missed by a good bit as well. If it was real, it would be good to see that kind of idiot ejected from the gene pool

God you guys made me look at this again......ok i replayed the very ending where it does a slo-mo replay and cycled it over and over. Right before the gun goes off he moves the bbl away from his eyes. That looks suspicious. It is sort of a jump in the video, like Camel said. His ragged hat hole might be because of the angle of the bill of his cap to the shot. He also does a goofy monkey jump, who does that? actors do that, professional wrestlers do that, the Three Stooges do that. Over-acting...what would your reaction be...probably a very loud girly scream...not a monkey jump. Don't think I'd even look for my hat, the powder blast would blind you.

Oh damn!! Missed.

He probably put it down to bad luck! Idiots often use that excuse.

I'm thinking it was faked.
