In former soviet Russia...

...you do not get mail, the mail gets you! (watch until the end)

Either this is horribly real, or it's another actor, pulling one on the audience. The funny/sad thing is, it's Russia, so both seem just as likely!

I'm going to say it's fake based on the fact that there is a cut in the scene between when the guy in the mailbox is tossing the mail out and when the guy pulls the gun and shoots. It is pretty funny though.

That was disturbing at first...

But just so nobody else gets creeped out:

At the close range and the number of shots fired, I am sure one of them would have gone through the mailbox. You should have heard a metalic clunk when the bullet passed through the body......if the video was real.

Good points all! It sure was a nasty shock, though.

Whoa! When I first watched that, I was shocked!

So I guess I’m the only one who laughed at this video…
