A woman got more than she bargained for when she accidentally shot herself while posing on Snapchat with a gun.

Don't panic. Regina Powell, 22, is alive and well (despite lacerations on her hand, thumb and fingers). But fucking hell, how do you go about doing that?

The worst thing I've done on Snapchat is put a photo of me dancing while having a shit on my story.

Powell, from Deltona, Florida, was trying to look cool with a 40 calibre pistols when she shot the phone held in her right hand.

The phone was destroyed, pretty clearly, by the bullet.

As I mentioned, her injuries were not serious and was treated at the Florida Hospital Fish Memorial.

She blamed the incident on 'foolishly playing' to the police.

I'll say. Look guys. Guns are guns. They're actually guns with actual bullets, and there ain't no going back if you happen to fuck up your aim.

So let's just put the guns away and get out those safe smiles! :)
