Is anyone else imagining a bullet skipping along the surface of that thing and hitting your femoral artery? Is that just me?

LOL, always the optimist, huh?

Took a .22 round to the codpiece? Real men use 7.62.

To show the low recoil, that, or a different version was a common demonstration back then.

To this very day, when a conversation about strange movies comes up, this scene is referenced.

For some reason, the headline reminded me of the Simpson’s episode in which Homer was asked to be a judge at a film festival, and was agonizing over casting his vote for the best film::

“Barnie’s [movie] had heart. But football in the groin had a football in the groin.”

Heck of a summer job, that.

"Uh, yer gonna pay me minimum wage to wear a armored cup and have somebody shoot a Barrett at it? Well...OK...but I'm gonna want at least fifteen bucks an hour."

"Now just hold still, Mr. Drill, it will only take a minute or so... But we'll pay you for the whole hour. Yer welcome..."

1. Doesn’t he want to see a few rounds in a paper target first?
2. Where does the deflected round go?
3. Does this look like factory load impact?

Sounds more like the urban legend that went around in Marine Corps boot camp at that time. Supposedly, a boot wrote his mother that the DI had taken an errant recruit, put him in a steel dumpster, and shot a flamethrower at him.
