A MAN trying to impress his friends stuffed a loaded gun into his trouser pocket and pulled the trigger thinking the safety catch was on.

Lukas Neuhardt, 27, blew his manhood apart.

He was so embarrassed that he told ambulance officers that a masked mugger had blasted him in the crutch in a bungled robbery.

But police found a hole in his statement when they saw that the gunshot had miraculously left his trousers intact.

“Instead there was a charred hole in his pocket so either it was the shot of the century or he did it himself,” a police source told The Sun.

Surgeons stitched his manhood back together but he’s facing up to three years in jail for breaching Germany’s tough new anti-gun laws.
