LOL.. Visualize me banging my head against the wall right now, wondering why I didn’t think of that! If she gets out of the house again today, I’ll ask her to get a couple more boxes (assuming any will be left).
Recoil is very difficult to simulate. At best you can make the action cycle with air. I've "shot" an M240 machine gun set up to do that, wearing computer display goggles as part of an immersive simulation.
The goggles/glasses have improved since then, but they made it impossible to correctly use the sights. Fortunately you could use the simulate tracers and bullet strikes to adjust fire.
There isn’t going to be any .380 for a long time.
I’m sure that’s two boxes per transaction, or at worst two boxes per day, so go back and see if you can get some more. Plus, don’t forget to have your wife buy two boxes every time you do.
