Don't know if it's already been posted or not, but received this via freepmail and thought it should be breaking news material.

Wouldn’t have happened if she was shooting an AR15 no matter how poor a shooting posture she had.
Pictures are worth a thousand words.
But I wonder if anyone has the quantified recoil force for a 12 guage pump (not auto, which would absorb some recoil) vs an AR firing .223.
Data from Chuckhawks.com
223 Rem. (55 at 3200)
Gun Wt: 8.0
Recoil Energy(ft/lbs): 3.2
12 gauge, 3” (1 7/8 at 1210)
Gun Wt: 7.5
Recoil Energy(ft/lbs): 60.1
12 gauge, 2.75” (1 1/4 at 1330)
Gun Wt.: 7.5
Recoil Energy(ft/lbs): 32.0
No data on 3.5” shells, but depending on amount of shot i would guess 75+ ft/lbs. Slugs are a whole other story.
Obviously big difference.
As another poster hit on, most of those vids are the dudes in those women’s lives setting them up. Its funny but also dangerous and reinforcing fear of recoil, imho.
Thanks for the chuckle!
The mid tier (2.75” shell) recoil of the 12 guage is 10 TIMES that of the .223...
That’s a great training video of what not to do and you’re right on the mark about someone not getting killed in the making of it.
Plugs is such a Dork.
So,in the last several months, bought a Ruger 22 LR (color PINK) and hollow point cartridges and a 25 cartridge magazine.
It is irony that yesterday, the Senate subcommittee passed the Feinstein Assault Weapons ban and it's now at the Senate for a vote. That bill outlaws magazines that hold more than ten cartridges. The irony is, my 25 cartridge magazine was delivered to my house at the same time that bill outlawing that magazine, was on its way to the senate.
Reid will allow that bill on the floor and the liberals will make speeches to take away our freedom to buy the weapon we want and take away our freedom to be able to fire as many cartridges as we want. I have heard a few congress members say the magazine limit may be removed from that bill and voted on separately in order to pass it. This is suppression of liberty bit by bit.
LOL!
Like the one shooting the semi auto, pulled the trigger twice more before falling on her butt.
“The real incompetence is on the part of the “men” (again, I use the term loosely) who obviously don’t know jack about teaching someone to shoot.”
Yea, real funny. My ex-girlfriends brother pulled that crap on her. She’s scared to death of guns now. Really great. You want to create some gun-grabber? Just pull some of that crap. A woman or small person properly taught can shoot pretty much anything. In addition to being stupid, it’s also cruel. Where are all the nannies hollering “domestic violence”?
She was like a waterskier being dragged under the water and wouldn’t let go of the rope.
She kept her finger on the trigger and experienced the equivalent of bump firing the shotgun.
Very dangerous because she didn’t have control of the muzzle after the first shot.
Correct. My wife was seriously (and with good reason) afraid of guns when we met. We started with a pellet gun ... and the understanding that I'm a gentleman.
Her favourite weapon is a particular brand of 12ga semiauto shotgun ... #2 is a .357 revolver.
Treat most people with respect, and the exceed expectations.
Yes, that would be Slo Joe Biden.
I agree. The boyfriends or husbands of these ladies were idiots for putting their wives & girl friends (and anyone else in proximity, including themselves) at risk when they didn’t even know how to hold the shotguns securely against their shoulders. Plus I wouldn’t want my shotgun to be flipped up & over, and falling hard on the ground or cement.
Looks like Obama at Camp David.
That’s a good one Jim, I just laughed myself into an asthma attack! LOL!
Nor to a guy who's never fired a shotgun, even a 'big' guy, I know. My buddy Joe, built like a brick Sh*t-House and the strongest of our bunch, got knocked on his butt firing a 12ga for the first time.
It was when we were yutes, 18-21 (before all the stupid gun laws). Joe took Glenn's 12ga Rem Autoloader and thought, 'No Big Deal' as Glenn was a skinny guy. Well Big Ole Joe wound up on the ground from the recoil. He took a lot of ribbing for that as he was kind of a know-it-all. Don't think Joe ever fired a shotgun again.
That IS funny! I’ll stick with my trusty .380, thanks.
