The AR or any other .223 is a great plinker and varmint rifle because it doesn’t have a lot of recoil. I shoot a Ruger Mini-14. It is very accurate and easy to get a close grouping. I have also fired a 1903 Springfield. It does kick, but if the shooter knows how to properly shoulder it, it is no big deal.

I would like to see this goof try a Taurus Judge loaded with 45 long colt rounds. Probably send him to a mental institution.

Yeah I remember when I was forced to pull the lanyard on our trusty 106 RR I would have the vapors for days, some of the guys in the platoon would wet their panties others would just sit down and cry until our compassionate top Sgt. would come by with lollypops and ice cream to settle us down. NOT!

I used to own an AR-15.

Shooting it was pure joy. Almost no recoil. Amazingly accurate.

Yeah, it was loud -- It was a freaking rifle.

I sold it to a friend many years ago and have regretted ever since.

He probably would have run off to Mexico to avoid the draft.

...brass shell casings...as they flew past my face. Huh? Did he have his head on the wrong side of the gun?

Someone should nominate this fecal floater for the Pulitzer in fiction ...

ROTFLMAO! Archive it before the editors get a whiff of it!

Naw, fools like this author are living on Magic Thinking. It’s why they lie so prolifically.

Oh dear lord above!

Back in basic we called the M-16 the ‘Sproing’ gun, because that was because the spring was the loudest thing we would hear when firing it.

Now if you want LOUD, then you should shoot a Lee Enfield in .303. My friend was sighting one in and a dead tree fell over from the shock wave from the rifle. That was a funny sight I must admit too.

“The recoil bruised my shoulder.”
Are you f-ing kidding me? You can fire an AR-15 with the butt of the rifle on your gonads and fell only mild discomfort. What are his shoulders made out of, wet toilet tissue?

The recoil bruised my shoulder. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary case of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.

What? I've fired one and it was fun, nice crack sound to it.

What a bedwetting wuss. Also, screw this gunshop owner! I wish I lived close to him so I could not shop at his store.

“The recoil bruised my shoulder.”

What a pussy! My Remington 700 SPS .308 kicks more than that!!! Sad that I’m a girl and I’m more of a man than this pathetic weasel is.

If it’s that scary for you to fire, I suggest you don’t. Leave it to real men (and women) who are capable non-whiners. And in the future, maybe focus your reporting on things you can handle, fashion, the looming kale shortage, etc.

Kuntzman is obviously a homosexual liberal Jew with zip firearm experience

But can you imagine having that last name?
