THIS is the terrifying moment a child shoots a TIN CAN off another child's head in a dangerous game of target practice.

The video, believed to have been filmed in Pakistan, shows the child crouching patiently while his pal takes aim - and shoots the can off his head without incident.

The younger lad is first seen squatting patiently with the can placed on his head while his pal sets up his shot.

The person filming then pans to his pal standing just a few feet away wearing a dark robe and trousers, who is armed with a rifle.

In front of jeering spectators, he then also starts crouching and looks through the rifle sights to set his aim.

After only a few seconds, he fires off a shot, knocking the can clean off the younger boy's head.

The boy then trots off seemingly too young to understand he was just inches away from being killed.

Meanwhile, Pakistani police have arrested 25 members of an informal village court that ordered the sister of an alleged rapist to be raped as revenge for her brother's attack.

The Supreme Court also requested a report on the case, which echoed a notorious case from 2002 in which another teenager was gang-raped on a local council's order.

Earlier this month, the local council was called after a family accused a 16-year-old boy of raping a 13-year-old neighbour.

The council ruled that the sister of the boy should be handed over to the victim’s brother to be raped. The punishment was carried out on July 17.

And in May, a 19-year-old who raped at gunpoint was told she would be stoned to death after Pakistani judges ruled she had had sex outside marriage.

The elders in the "panchayat" local court system believed she seduced her relative and ordered her death, it was reported.
