      @@speedlimit6869Hey, have you actually seen how most people handle weapons? Muzzle and Trigger Discipline requires constant mindfulness. Believe it or not, that's something most people can't do. Only people properly educated that handle weapons frequently can really do it the way you're supposed to. And that unfortunately means that most people who own firearms don't actually have good muzzle and trigger discipline. Hell, most gun owners don't even engage their safety when they're supposed to.
      I know that the ideal standard is that muzzle and trigger discipline is supposed to be a no-brainer, tantamount to breathing for a gun owner. But the reality is different. So, complimenting him on demonstrating good fundamentals isn't a waste of time. Even if it feels like it should be.

      The major injury however was part of the gun penetrating his throat and lodging itself inside his chest behind his ribs, puncturing a lung, he had to shove his thumb into his neck to not bleed to death and luckily had his father on set to drive him to the hospital.
      He had to have his chest opened up to get the fragments inside it taken out and then spent a long time recovering as he could not lift heavy things due to his chest recently being split open, but luckily as evident, has now made a full recovery.

Interestingly enough, SmarterEveryDay also noticed this effect when shooting Prince Rupert's drops with a gun (go to 1:34 on "AK-47 vs Prince Rupert's Drop (at 223,000 FPS) - Smarter Every Day 170")

    I am hazy in the numbers from 52 years ago in the recoil of a Black Powder double barrel 2 bore Elephant rifle . It was an article in a buddies American Rifleman magazine. The fuzzy memory was around 125 pounds of recoil. The article mentioned shooting elephants from horseback and managing to stay in the saddle.

    Seeing Scott next to the other guys shows how big he really is. He's a solid barrel-chested dude.

      He fires 460 magnum single handed like it is nothing and I hand on to mine with both hands waiting for the world to explode. I have also fired a 45-110 with a 500+ grain bullet, but from the bench. That was a mistake with my body issues. There is no way I would fire the 577.

      You know its the bad-end of violent when the air is setting on fire within the target. Can you imagine what a tank APDSFS does at 4500-5900fps and 19.8KG (305560.7Grain)
