Gun Unsafety Video Shows Exactly How Not to Fire a Gun

Yeah, I tried a duck-hunting gun, powerful, and I use it wrong, ending up the back side of gun hit my arm, so fucking painful for a while. Next day, there's beautiful black/purple bruise.
 
I remember when I was a kid trying to handle my dad's huge "Dirty Harry" pistol. Boy, that thing packed a wallop! Whew!
 
I do not understand why do people always lean back when shooting. I never did that even for first time. it's common sense that by leaning back, you do not have traction hold for gun's kickback. :ugh2:
 
Yes, You need to stand in position where you can't fall back or lean back when shooting gun. Use firm grip and wrist. my brother let his girlfriend try my Grandpa's 12 guage hunting gun and It was so powerful that It kicked back and bruised his GF's shoulder. She was crying over it :rofl:

I've tried My brother's Smith and Wesson semi-automatic gun. I didn't have problem with it.

Ouch that's gotta hurt!

I remember I had my share of the pain. I was at my dad's farm doing a target practice. He had a 12 ga double sawed off barrel shotgun. The thing is, I didn't realize how strong it was. Dad was telling me to put one foot up forward and another foot in the back to hold the traction when the gun kicks back. So, I did what he told me to do. By the time I fired the gun, oh man, it nearly kicked me down to the ground and my shoulder was hurting so bad that it got a purple/blue bruise all over.
 
Yeah.

You definitely want a good stance and grip... you don't necessarily want to be stiff as a board either, you can get hurt both ways. (not to mention being too tense will mess with your shots)

And yeah, I have done a little guided shooting... benched, but still, was told all about it. Posture is very important when you are basically holding a small explosion in your hands.

Edit:
And some people, especially small people or not having enough strength or good balance, will have a natural tendency to lean back with a long gun because it feels heavy to them and hard to control. This should be corrected immediately by the instructor, and if they still can't hold the gun well, use a bench or rest, or another supported position.

Oh, and finger off the trigger at ALL TIMES unless you are inevitably aimed and going to shoot. Don't rely on safety features or whether the gun is loaded or not, no matter what else you are doing. I see several accidents in this video that would have been completely avoided by following this simple rule.

:rofl: Must be painful.:laugh2::giggle: My friend told me that his father have double barrel 12 guage shotgun (one that "breaks" in half and load two 12 guage shells and snap back on). He told me that don't use it on shoulder. He showed me how he do it, Just hold one hand on top middle of barrel and other hand hold the gun normally on trigger. Once gun kick back, your hand on middle barrel do controlled kickback without injury ect.

His father used double barrel gun for protections. One time one guy came over to his house with shotgun because he was very angry with my friend's brother. His father came out w/ double barrel gun and in a calm manner, asked the guy "which is better??" The guy :eek2: and walked away like a wimp cuz he knew the double barrel can do lot more damage than his shotgun. :lol:

and you anti-gunners thought guns should be banned due to potential violence... and this situation was defused quickly and harmlessly without having police involved. NO PROBLEM! :cool2:

I was told about a guy today that was on t.v., he had saved a bank from being robbed because he had a CCW permit, and had his gun on him at the time of the robbery. Apparently he was calm enough to look and see the guy was trying to intimidate the teller, but the robber was actually unarmed... so the man pulled out his gun and held the robber there until police arrived, without a fight or any other incident. I guess the robber was too shocked that he was actually challenged by someone with a gun that he didn't even try to fight or escape.
 
Those images cracked me up but at the same time, they showed ignorance of how to use firearms. Makes me wonder how it is that these individuals were given a firearm that they obviously could not handle....that they didn't "graduate" up to that level. Many of them look like someone pulled a prank on them, knowing full well what would happen.

and more reason to repeal gun ban/restriction and allow CCW!!! :cool2: In most cases involving armed citizens - the situations are usually resolved peacefully and quickly

It was very painful, that's for sure. :lol: After the first try came, I learned how to do it in the proper way and now I know how to do it.

Whew, At least something gruesome didn't happen out of the situation with your friend's brother. There's a saying that goes - Guns doesn't kill people. People kill people (after all, a gun is a tool to help)
 
Speaking of double barreled shotguns, I frequently used a 10 (no, not a typo, lol) guage single barrel (maybe it was a double) shotgun when I was 14-16 yrs old. After supper, (late summer, gearing up for duck hunting season) we would target-shoot at clay birds, cans, etc on the edge of the cowyard, facing acres and acres of corn. Danged gun almost sat me down a few times but I knew what I was doing, lol. I miss those days.
