1 Guy 5 Shotguns is a hoax and urban legend revolving around an alleged shock video which was uploaded around 2012. The myth gained popularity when a video titled NSFL Iceberg | Gore & Lost Media was uploaded to YouTube on March 27, 2021, which mentioned the alleged video at the 49:21 mark. The video was uploaded by a YouTuber named Plagued Moth, who later made a follow-up giving more details about this "1 Guy 5 Shotguns" "video".
Alleged content
Here is the full context of the video, according to the myth:
The video was uploaded to BestGore sometime around 2012 under the title "Retarded nigga gets turned into ground beef by shotguns". The video depicts five white men on a field, each holding a shotgun, and one black man who is tied to a tree. The men begin firing at the man tied to the tree, while laughing and yelling. Eventually, the body of the man tied to the tree gets reduced to a bloody pulp, and the killers cheer and end the video.
The hoax
The supposed context of the video would have many readers believing it's real, considering it's more believable than 99 percent of all creepypastas, and even the YouTuber Plagued Moth admitted he first believed in the existence of the video. So perhaps this video does actually exist. What's the chance of it being a hoax, it already happened with a sledgehammer?
Well as it turns out 1 Guy 5 Shotguns is nothing more then the wet dream of some redditor who wishes lynchings like these were a lot more common. Plagued Moth claims he knows the identity of the perpetrator of this hoax, but won't disclose any personal information about the person, and only described him as "some child diddler on Reddit" who made the hoax up and spread it around. He also stated that he first believed the creator of "MDPOPE 5" (aka OfficialThomasMD on Reddit), a parody of the "MDPOPE" series, started the rumor. However, he does claim the the troll did contribute to the hoax on Discord by claiming the video was real, but later changed his mind and claimed the video doesn't exist.
Though 1 Guy 5 Shotguns never existed, some people claim they have watched a video of similar context on BestGore. This is likely false memory however, as BestGore was frequented by users and admins all the time, and the fact that no such video has come to light shows that 1 Guy 5 Shotguns probably never even existed.
