This pussy would find a gay dinner theater too masculine and intimidating.

One of the pluses of the AR15 is that lack of recoil makes for more accurate followup shots. The only thing with less recoil is a 22 or maybe an air rifle. I’ve not shot any of the modern air rifles so I don’t know that to be fact.

I’m not a gun guy. But I did learn to shoot an AR-15. And there a lot of very girly girls in the group I was with at the time. And not a one of them had any problem handling the AR-15s recoil. I had seen people on film and youtube getting hurt by recoil (other guns, I guess), and was expecting some, and was pretty amazed by the complete lack of it.

Exactly - it’s designed specifically for minimal recoil. Back in the day when Norinco was dumping weapons on the American market, my buddy and I bought a AK-47 7.62 ($199). It had a bit of a kick, but again, designed to be able to re-aim quickly. Certainly nothing like a serious hunting rifle. (And no, I have no idea what happened to that gun - I moved out of state and my buddy paid me my half.)

I’d love to see this guy try to shoot a shotgun - the first time I shot one (12 maybe?), my grandfather who was a huge hunting enthusiast, told me (and kept telling me) to keep it snug against my shoulder, which I did at first. I relaxed during one shot and got a nasty bruise on my shoulder. He said, “You’ll never do that again.” He was right.

The only way to bruise your shoulder with an AR-15 type is to shoot the gun, then, with all your might, try to slam the butt into your shoulder...wow...
