The soy is powerful with this one.
Oh, and then there was this bit:
"Once, having lost count of how many bullets were in the magazine, I put the pistol down with a live round in the chamber. Noble quickly spotted my error and cleared the chamber; the unfired bullet dropped to the floor where it fell into a grated collection channel.
That's exactly how many firearms accidents happen, Noble said: when even experienced shooters don't make sure the chamber is empty when cleaning or re-holstering their pistols."
I don't know about anyone else, but I usually do a press check to make sure that there IS a round in the chamber before I put a pistol back in the holster.
In any event, the gun shop looks very nice. I'll put it on the route planner next time we're passing through Vermont.
Keep him away from fireworks too.
I watched a range sergeant full-auto fire a full 30rd magazine down range off his crotch. He turned to us and said, “There is no reason to be worried about recoil…I haven’t felt that good since last weekend! “
Concussion blast from an AR on a tight indoor range can be stunning tho.
My daughter who is going to be a 2nd year midshipmen is spending some time at Camp Pendleton this summer. Her favorite drill last week was firing a 50 cal machine gun.
I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning. You know, one time I had twelve magazines fully loaded and shot them all, one after another. When it was over, I marveled at all of the spent cartridges heaped up to the side. The smell, that burnt gunpowder smell . . it smells . like freedom.
The writing style indicates possibly the writer’s day job is pulp romance books.
LOL I would have said KA-BLAM but I guess that's just me. /s
Anyone else hoping the author tries being close to an uncontrolled, dispersed explosion next?
Can only imagine the reaction at kissing a girl the first time.
Reminds me of the show the range NCO put on in basic training when we were to learn how to fire the M-79 grenade launcher, aka “the blooper.”
He had a 3-4 inch wad of padding between his shoulder and the stock of the M-79 and fired it, with him seeming to barely able to remain standing from the recoil.
I got “selected” to be the first to fire. And discovered that it had equal or less recoil than firing the M-16 rifle. I had used a 12 gauge shotgun in civilian life, and prepared myself for a similar recoil...it didn’t happen.
They closed comments on the article. Guessing too many people were making fun of the writer.
Wow, from reading it, I was sure the writer was a woman.
So what he’s saying is his testicles almost descended but not quite on that day. He’s still a man bun wearing soy boy.
He probably doesn’t want to shoot a Thompson Contender .44 Mag with hot deer hunting loads.
By the way, on a trip to the range with the family a few years ago I handed my then high school age niece and her friend my AR-15. They absolutely loved it. They took to it far more than any other gun and were quickly driving tacks with it. They were surprised to learn afterwards that THAT was the supposedly oh so scary AR-15.

Apt description.
That’s so gay.
Oh yeh, the recoil from my AK74 is just agonizing. Hand that fool a Mossberg 500 tactical shotgun. That’s recoil. 😆
“BA-BOOM!!!!!”
Must’ve been a double-barrel AR.
