Bugs Bunny's "Carrot In A Shotgun Barrel" In Real Life

By Bob Owens | 8:55 PM | December 15, 2015

A lot of us grew up up watching reruns of classic Warner Brothers cartoon, including Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. One of the classic Bugs and Elmer scenes involves Bugs ramming a carrot down the barrel of Elmer’s shotgun, and then pulling the trigger with disastrous results for Elmer.

Over at Demolition Ranch, Matt wondered what would happen if they tried the same trick with a real carrot and a real shotgun.

I’m not going to lie to you… this was brutal.
