When a 9mm Bullet Marvelously Saved a Gamer’s Life
What Actually Happened
On the morning of March 31, 2022, EnoughDance956 from Torrance, California, was enjoying a quiet session on his PlayStation. His voice‑activated snags on the headset were so loud that even his Razer Kraken felt the music vibes. Suddenly, a stray 9‑mm round burst through a window, slapped the headset, ricocheted off the wall, and landed smack in his bed—as if it was taking a detour through his gaming gear!
Why He Stayed Calm
Emergency scene? Not really. The gamer was half‑awake and a little bewildered, but he called his parents, who immediately notified the police. While the whole thing was bizarre, he seemed appreciative—after all, the head‑gear didn’t get hurt, and he survived calmly.
The Social‑Media Twist
On April 1, he hopped onto r/razer to thank Razer for his “life‑saving” headset. Many Redditors instantly noticed the coincidence—and spoiler alert: it was an April Fool’s Day post. With a calm smile, EnoughDance956 posted photos to prove he wasn’t joking.
Key Takeaways
- No bullet damage to gear or user—true home‑protecting power.
- He had a quick reaction and followed the right chain of action—call family, then police.
- Delivered the moment with a mix of gratitude and a dash of post‑Office‑Jet humor.
In a world where blips and brouhaha happen all the time, it’s a rare moment to see a bullet round “protect” a gamer setup and still keep the good vibes. If you’re interloper‑free and feel lucky, just wrap up your headset like a blanket, and you might survive an angry neighborhood.

Razer’s Epic Headset Rescue—Why You Might Want One
So, the Razer Kraken was almost brought down by a crazily spirited shootout in an online forum. But thanks to a dedicated fan, EnoughDance956, the headset survived and is still humming along—no war damage, just a little bruises.
The Story Unfolds
- The internet thread was lit—people were joking about whether a headset or earbuds would dominate a “battle of sounds.”
- Razer’s engineers stepped in, built a “care package,” and sent it straight to the owner.
- Even Razer’s CEO, Tan Min‑Liang, chimed in: “Whoa – that’s crazy. Glad you’re OK!”
Why Headsets Win (and Could Even Save Your Life)
That little check of the Kraken proves it can survive almost anything—so if someone asks why you’re loyal to headsets over earbuds, you can say: “Because they’re battle‑ready and life‑saving.” Your ear‑buds might fit your ears, but this headset can handle a fight and keep your audio game strong.
