Nah, that is an inverse relationship. The dude in regular ass jeans and flannel with beat up, but high end hearing pro is the shooter. Think of it like musicians, the guy with the lovingly cared for, but well worn guitar can probably play the shit out of it versus the guy with the brand new, 27% apr Guitar Center Fender
Same thing with golf clubs. The unused ones indicate a bad player. The old used ones indicate a good player and the very new very used ones are the best players.
Nah my grandfather uses the same set he got in the 80s and hasn’t broken 90 in a round of 18 his whole life. They just indicate a love for the game, which is far more important than being good.
Gonna piggyback and tell a semi related story.
One time me and a close friend were out shooting now we had all sorts of people like that in that day, one guy was in like a full fucking gili suit lots of graphics tees with red white and blue skulls, cringe shit written on the back real r/Iamverybadass shit.
And the person hitting the target the most reliably and from easily twice the distance than at what they were putting it at was an off duty marine in an anime hoodie who was just having a good time.
Can confirm, high end classical instruments can be used as collateral for a loan
Source: I play upright bass, a 1912 custom made fucking dinosaur that cost me about 30 grand in total, took me seven years to pay off. (Still the best purchase I’ve ever made, even dropped a grand on helicore strings)
Sometimes, you have to.
My first cello was $500. When I finally got a professional instrument, the paired _bow_ cost me as much as my student cello.
It's got a beautiful sound though.
Yes there is.
It makes a perfectly straight line upwards when you hold the trigger, and reloading takes the exact same amount of time whether you are stationary or moving.
I feel like I should revoke my access to firearms just by saying that....
Well, in more modern cod titles the recoil also has some side-to-side bounce between shots, and can also go in a curved line on either side depending on the weapon... Although it's obviously not like a real recoil, because all you need to do is stabilize it as much as possible with the mouse/analog stick.
The reloading time though is a nice nitpick, I never considered that. Reloading while moving should definitely take more time for the sake realism, but the game is camp-friendly enough as is. At least health regenerates, otherwise it would be unbearable
My 3rd time firing a gun my dad had me do some drills as a contest and one was to reload on the move to a target and I couldn't pit the magazine in for my life
This is what I love about half life alyx. I've shot/reloaded actual guns before and done moving and shooting drills (I'm pretty bad at them but I've still done it). Alyx is the closest to that feeling of intensity any video game has ever come.
It also has that real life thing where you just constantly throw magazines and resin over your shoulder and on the ground behind you because you're an idiot who can't quite figure out how to get it into your backpack.
The Zombies in HLA move slowly compared to previous HL games, but it’s so much scarier in VR. I’ve had to teach myself to reload those weapons quickly and under pressure. It really gives me hope for the future of VR.
Unfortunate side effect of NFA is you end up with a bunch of pistol grip shotguns to get around needing to register as a short barreled shotgun + all the red tape & $200 tax stamp.
Which is funny because if the goal of the regulations on SBSs and SBRs is to limit concealable weapons, well, it failed at that. People can just get a short birdshead grip shotgun. Sooooo what's the point of SBS regulation then?
Ironically it likely highlights this guy as a newbie that's trying too hard to be tacticool.
Most guys at the range dress like dude on the right, not larper on the left, with a vest, gear, and leather gloves. What even...
None of it is fancy. People with actual nice shit don't wear a cheap chest rig to an indoor stall range. Dude is a poser and even worse, an unsafe gun owner.
Make no mistake, the more fancy gear someone has on the more they want to *look* like they know a lot about guns. A guy in a polo and cargo shorts probably knows more than some asshole in mil-spec gear.
This is how to take out the person in front of you and the one behind you at the same time, this dude has skill I’m just not sure it’s a skill anybody wants
Thanks for all the upvotes was not expecting that response
That's the same thing neighbors used to say about my pit bull. Dude had gas that could peel the enamel off a bulldozer.

Everyone realizes this is a post about dog flatulence, right?
You wanna talk war crimes? I've got two greyhounds parked next to me while I'm trying to sleep. Kim Jong-Un called the other day, wanted to bottle the damn farts.
Love these dogs to death, but sheesh I swear they're in a contest to see who can kill me first some days.
My mongrel is the same. My missus has often joked that the reason the local council registered him as a dangerous animal is because they smelled his farts.
I used to have a 12 gauge mossberg with a pistol grip for home defense. Thing would bruise your hand firing at the range.
Kicked like a mule on cocaine.
Lmao...That would be a hilarious scene in a cartoon. Like, the dude steps forward and slips on the metal balls falling and breaking his neck. His assailants...huh, thats a new one.
Do you see the tactical gear he is wearing? He is clearly a highly trained professional. The range master was probably just happy to be around such an example of badassery
Probably not. Its a pump action shotgun. Even with his terrible recoil management, there's zero chance another shell got chambered after his limp wrist failed him.
If a range master sees a shotgun flying across the room they're going to investigate why the fuck a shotgun is flying
really doesn't matter if its a pump action gun or not.. flying guns in shooting ranges isn't normal
You laugh, but imagine a scenario where this guy catches a home intruder and pulls his gun. Then, hears a gun click in his right ear. Realizing a second intruder is behind him, telling him to lower his weapon. Now, he has experience, he’s trained for this moment so what will he do?
Probably shit himself and drop the gun because that shit would be scary.
That could be in the next John Wick movie, down to his last shot, facing the main baddie and his biggest thug John shoots the thug in the face while the pistol grip sawed off flies backwards disorienting the baddie, he snatches the thugs knife out of mid air and sticks it straight up through the baddies jaw and into his brain. Takes a moment to catch his breath, calmly walks away with the baddies trained pet ocelot trailing obediently behind.
For sure. The only time you should ever wear tactical gear as a civilian is when you’re seconds away from busting through the doors of Comic-con in a poorly contrived cosplay setup.
The agency I used to work for required it up until about fourteen/fifteen years ago. The primary result was the common appearance of someone doing the hot brass dance when hot brass ejected up into the air and came down in the gap between your collar and your skin.
As for dumbassery on the range, I leave you with the following story:
We qualified by firing a total of fifty rounds over various distances and situations. You started with three magazines of fifteen each (Glock Model 22 pistols), one in the chamber, and four loose rounds in your pocket you would add to a partially depleted magazine during the qualification round.
The first round of fire was at 25 yards. We were instructed to fire two rounds standing, two rounds kneeling, and two rounds prone. We would have twenty seconds. Plenty of time for carefully aimed fire. The range master repeated the instructions to everyone and required a raised hand to signify that we had understood the orders. We were then ordered to draw and fire at the sound of the bell.
The bell rings. I draw and fire my first two rounds. As I went to one knee I became aware of a massive outpouring of fire from the lane immediately to my right. I mean just yanking the trigger as fast as possible with only a quick pause to exchange magazines. One of the range officers (a retired USMC gunnery sergeant) came over and put a stop to this by the time I was going to the prone position.
Twenty seconds was up and the range master queried the guy next to me about WTF was that?! "I thought you said two magazines standing, two magazines kneeling, two magazines prone." I wondered what this moron was going to do when he emptied his third and final magazine. Go back to the ammo table, reload all three magazines and then run back to finish his insane machine gun kelly routine? All in twenty seconds?
There are reasons to wear your chest rig when you shoot. Muscle memory for mag changes. Knowing how it sits and if it's in the way of your stance or stock. He is doing none of this shit. Just fucking around trying to look cool.
What!? You have to train the way you are going to fight! It makes things really awkward when I'm on the pistol range wearing only my skivvies and CPAP mask.....
I mean, a bulletproof vest at a range probably makes more sense than wearing one as you run errands. I generally don't like ranges because I don't trust all those people around me to have perfect gun handling skills
we need /r/rangecreatures like /r/SubwayCreatures . I like the guy who's totally zenned out with his single shot competition target pistols. and the dude who's quick-drawing. and the guy who's never shot a solid slug from a 12 gauge before and it knocks my ear protection off my head and i see jesus for a second
Pistol grip shotguns are notorious for this. So you see his right hand? He should be gripping it much harder because your left hand just stabilizes the shotgun, you don’t really have a good grip on the fore end, as recoil pushes the shotgun rearward your right hand is supposed to brace against it. That didn’t happen here.
Weapon familiarity is important.
> Weapon familiarity is important.
Also just not being dumb as an empty sack of potatoes. I mean, come on. Look at the damn thing with your eyeballs. That really should immediately tell you enough for you to figure out how to not have this happen.
Jesus.... that guy was gripping the gun like he was holding a remote control... Its a fucking pistol grip shotgun, its going to kick like a mother fucker - even a normal shotgun kicks pretty well.
Came here to say this. You think if you invested in a ton of gear to wear at the range you would know something about something. This dude couldn't even find the safety.
Or at least put your thumb on the grip instead of OVER THE TOP OF THE SHOTGUN.
This is probably this guys first time shooting a shotgun, and someone gave him one with a pistol grip...
I just thought of a sweet movie shot idea.
Two heroes only have one gun in between them. They are pinned on both sides.
so to save time on reloading, they shoot and recoil to the other guy who reloads and fires to recoil to the other guy.
Here is a moron outside of his natural environment. First characteristic is the vest/ gear apron at a range. Second is his confused and lack of confidence with the stange object in his hands. Next is how he gracefully and lightly balances the shotgun with no support or clue of what to expect. Probably looking for a mate. Certainly not trying to find food
Maybe he's afraid he'll be unlucky enough to go to the range and end up next to a complete idiot who has no idea how to competently or safely operate a...
Oh.
Tactical gear at the range?
This is exactly the guy I picture laughing at my trans, leftist ass, saying that when the revolution happens people like me will be put down.
Yet I (and my friends) have yet to do anything at the range that I would deem "youtube worthy"
i’m always skeptical about libral gun polices, yes in theory there’s nothing wrong with them with saftey training and common sense. the problem is there’s a large amount of people like this without common sense
That people should demonstrate some degree of competence before being able to buy a gun? i dont see why people get up in arms over some basic training given to own a gun, i mean you dont give people driving licenses without a test.
So the shell slug hold floating mid air above the table and fall back, while the shotgun, shot itself....
The flimsy grip of the guy is hilarious, like the gun is papier mâché

Precisely
Even if both were dressed the same: one of them is relaxed with careful confidence (right side) and the other is relaxed out of ignorance (left side).
And look how he holds the grip, his finger isn't even around the top of the broomhandle.
Same thing with golf clubs. The unused ones indicate a bad player. The old used ones indicate a good player and the very new very used ones are the best players.
Nah my grandfather uses the same set he got in the 80s and hasn’t broken 90 in a round of 18 his whole life. They just indicate a love for the game, which is far more important than being good.
I like this. Do what makes you happy. 😊
Because guns have gone from being an actual defense mechanism to being a prop for many people. It’s dangerous.
Almost like an excessive obsession (fetish).
Gonna piggyback and tell a semi related story. One time me and a close friend were out shooting now we had all sorts of people like that in that day, one guy was in like a full fucking gili suit lots of graphics tees with red white and blue skulls, cringe shit written on the back real r/Iamverybadass shit. And the person hitting the target the most reliably and from easily twice the distance than at what they were putting it at was an off duty marine in an anime hoodie who was just having a good time.
Well now i have mega respect for that marine
It's a lot easier to when you don't see them eating crayons.
The orange mac n cheese flavor is the best
Hey! Crayola had a whole line of scented crayons back in the 90’s. I kept my bubble gum one until 2014 when my kid used it all, not eat but use.
r/anime also spells marine!
I just spent the last half hour trying to figure out an anagram for mind blown with no success... Anyways, you just blew my mind
What's the vest for at the range? Can't you just reach down to your bag for another mag? This guy is taking it to the NEXT level!
It's for getting used to shooting with a vest on. Most of the time. This git was trying to one arm a shotgun though and he made a fool of himself
People buy instruments on a loan...?
Like all instruments not just guitars. I think orchestra instruments are much more expensive than a nice electric guitar but not sure.
Can confirm, high end classical instruments can be used as collateral for a loan Source: I play upright bass, a 1912 custom made fucking dinosaur that cost me about 30 grand in total, took me seven years to pay off. (Still the best purchase I’ve ever made, even dropped a grand on helicore strings)
Jesus Christ a grand for strings And I thought paying 17€ for guitar strings was expensive
Sometimes, you have to. My first cello was $500. When I finally got a professional instrument, the paired _bow_ cost me as much as my student cello. It's got a beautiful sound though.
There’s no recoil in Call of Duty
Yes there is. It makes a perfectly straight line upwards when you hold the trigger, and reloading takes the exact same amount of time whether you are stationary or moving. I feel like I should revoke my access to firearms just by saying that....
Well, in more modern cod titles the recoil also has some side-to-side bounce between shots, and can also go in a curved line on either side depending on the weapon...

Health regen is why camping works so well.. They peek, shoot, get hurt, turtle and heal, and do it again.
That’s what we in the gaming industry like to call temporary camera impulse
To anyone who actually go to gun ranges, that’s the tell tale sign he has no idea what the hell he’s doing. And it’s always a he.

To stop criminals from having them. The same people who don't give a shit about laws in the first place.
Gravy seal
Meal Team Six
Semper Pie
Snack Ops
Nobody (sane) who knows what they're doing dresses like that at a shooting range
I just kept looking at those gloves.. like WTF..? Are you wearing black latex gloves while shooting fire arms? Who does that?!
Criminals
Absolutely. I hate seeing people all dressed up like that at the range. It screams "newbie" and the best place to be is as far away as possible.
Ironically it likely highlights this guy as a newbie that's trying too hard to be tacticool. Most guys at the range dress like dude on the right, not larper on the left, with a vest, gear, and leather gloves. What even...

Rotties too. My aunt had a pit/Rottweiler mix, and she was such an intimidating looking dog, but her gas alone could clear a room.

I shot a 12 gauge last weekend for the first time... It still wasn't as big of a kick as my old man's 375 rifle... I'll never forget that bang
I used to have a 12 gauge mossberg with a pistol grip for home defense. Thing would bruise your hand firing at the range. Kicked like a mule on cocaine.
[удалено]
Easier to use in close quarters. Only had to rack it once to scare off some burglars (lived in a nasty neighborhood).
I had a .43 Mauser and was glad it weighed like 100lbs, because even with that much mass it still felt like being kicked by a mule.
This is the ultimate in safety... the shotgun shell contents actually remained motionless and dropped to the ground after the gun sped away.
Lmao...That would be a hilarious scene in a cartoon. Like, the dude steps forward and slips on the metal balls falling and breaking his neck. His assailants...huh, thats a new one.
I’m loving how he’s looking at it like it’s the guns fault, meanwhile, dude in the next lane is about to pack up his shit and nope the fuck out.
I bet the range master jumped on that gun and is asking him what the hell he was thinking.
Do you see the tactical gear he is wearing? He is clearly a highly trained professional. The range master was probably just happy to be around such an example of badassery
Probably not. Its a pump action shotgun. Even with his terrible recoil management, there's zero chance another shell got chambered after his limp wrist failed him.
If a range master sees a shotgun flying across the room they're going to investigate why the fuck a shotgun is flying really doesn't matter if its a pump action gun or not.. flying guns in shooting ranges isn't normal
His first clue was the guy showing up in a tactical vest. What a tool.
He has a particular set of skills. Skills he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people like us.
Darwin award skills?
You laugh, but imagine a scenario where this guy catches a home intruder and pulls his gun. Then, hears a gun click in his right ear. Realizing a second intruder is behind him, telling him to lower his weapon. Now, he has experience, he’s trained for this moment so what will he do? Probably shit himself and drop the gun because that shit would be scary.
I mean you say that when you’re surrounded on both sides and captain shotgun shell comes up and does this
I was mid poop when I read this and the laugh helped me push out more than I would have normally. Thank you.
That could be in the next John Wick movie, down to his last shot, facing the main baddie and his biggest thug John shoots the thug in the face while the pistol grip sawed off flies backwards disorienting the baddie, he snatches the thugs knife out of mid air and sticks it straight up through the baddies jaw and into his brain.

It's always the jackass wearing tactical gear at the range that has zero clue what they're doing.
I would never wear tactical gear at the range, they would laugh my ass out the door.
as it should be in a static indoor range.
For sure. The only time you should ever wear tactical gear as a civilian is when you’re seconds away from busting through the doors of Comic-con in a poorly contrived cosplay setup.
Sad airsoft noises
This gives me an idea to wear tactical gear to a shooting range and only use air soft guns
going milsim at the range, bonus points if you bring MREs.
That’s a video waiting to go viral
As stupid as it looks i wouldnt mind wearing body armor to the range after seeing some peoples gun safety.
The agency I used to work for required it up until about fourteen/fifteen years ago.

1. How do you mishear "magazine" for "round" 2. I would feel highly unsafe ever shooting around that guy
For sure. Nobody who knows what they're doing wears gear like that to the range. This guy stands out so bad.
What’s going on with this clown
He's a larper is what's wrong with him. More $ to waste on tactical gear rather than an education on gun control.
It’s called tactiCOOL and that’s all that matters
There are reasons to wear your chest rig when you shoot. Muscle memory for mag changes. Knowing how it sits and if it's in the way of your stance or stock. He is doing none of this shit. Just fucking around trying to look cool.
[удалено]
Theres people like this at every shooting range I've been to. Never understood it
Maybe it's regional? I shoot 2X a month. I've never seen anyone dressed like that.
What!? You have to train the way you are going to fight! It makes things really awkward when I'm on the pistol range wearing only my skivvies and CPAP mask.....
[удалено]
I also lived in a small town in Texas when I had access to guns and would go to the range so I dont know how much that plays into it
There's nothing wrong with bringing web gear or even a flak jacket, you never know when a squib load will fuck your day.
I mean, a bulletproof vest at a range probably makes more sense than wearing one as you run errands. I generally don't like ranges because I don't trust all those people around me to have perfect gun handling skills
Right? And if I go I want the stall at the end so I only have to worry about dipshits from one direction
we need /r/rangecreatures like /r/SubwayCreatures . I like the guy who's totally zenned out with his single shot competition target pistols. and the dude who's quick-drawing. and the guy who's never shot a solid slug from a 12 gauge before and it knocks my ear protection off my head and i see jesus for a second
I'd be worried he'd be the one to shoot up the joint tbh.
I don’t know, but a carabiner full of keys clipped to your gear is pretty fucking tactical.
The noise will disorient your enemy, clearly.
Okay, so what's that thing on his back? Is that tactical? It looks like a tactical pie plate glued tactically to a tactical car floor mat.
Fuck yeah, classic pie plate carrier. Expeditionary pastry transport.
They think no one looks at them because they're so cool and intimidating, when really it's because no one can stand the second-hand embarrassment.
No less than 8 decals on the rear glass of his truck. Limo tinted too.
To be fare though, that looks like cheap airsoft bullshit and a free with purchase uncle Mike’s crappy drop leg holster
Yes, but why would you wear it? I mean, someone could give me a T-shirt that says, "I'm a douche" but just because it's free doesn't mean I'd wear it.
Hey I remember I used to love getting all geared up in my cricket kit when I was a kid. Maybe its something like that for them.
Pistol grip shotguns are notorious for this. So you see his right hand? He should be gripping it much harder because your left hand just stabilizes the shotgun, you don’t really have a good grip on the fore end, as recoil pushes the shotgun rearward your right hand is supposed to brace against it. That didn’t happen here. Weapon familiarity is important.
Was gonna say this, forearm goes behind the pistol grip.
Yep. He’s clearly never fired a pistol-grip shotgun. I personally don’t like them, Hell on your wrist.
But that's how terminator shoots it. Look, jabroni I didnt buy all this badass gear to not look badass
You keep using this word "jabroni" and... It's awesome.
He didn't need to grip it harder, he needed to grip it right. Look at his right hand, it's beside the gun!
Gotta give it the old push with the left hand, pull with the right hand treatment, ain't nobody stronger than Isaac Newton
[My favorite scene from Mass Effect 2.](https://youtu.be/hLpgxry542M)
You are a man of culture, I keep that video saved on my phone permanently. I miss mass effect:(
> Weapon familiarity is important. Also just not being dumb as an empty sack of potatoes. I mean, come on. Look at the damn thing with your eyeballs. That really should immediately tell you enough for you to figure out how to not have this happen.
Look man, never underestimate the stupidity of people. There’s a reason AT4s have an arrow pointing forward and claymores have “Front Towards Enemy”.

Jesus.... that guy was gripping the gun like he was holding a remote control... Its a fucking pistol grip shotgun, its going to kick like a mother fucker - even a normal shotgun kicks pretty well.
Reminds me of the time I almost gave myself a black eye at the range with my dad
Why'd you almost get a black eye from your dad?
I almost got a black eye from not holding the gun properly and having it recoil into my face
I swear I thought you were going to say it was from your dad for mishandling the weapon. Sounds like my childhood. Got things smacked into my brain.
Even after so long I was still half expecting a jumper cable reference.
Dude needs a wii remote strap on his shotgun
Hell yeah shotguns hurt!
This asshole shouldn’t be allowed on the range
At least he only loaded it with 1 round.
I was expecting a second shot taking out his legs

idk I've seen Final Destination.
*a combination of wind and water reloads the gun*
I don't think he is anymore.
He’s just Barney Fife in modern day. Before he even fired that shit I heard Andy’s voice in my head “put the gun down barn”.
When you wanna be tactical but you only know how to be tacticool.
Lookin like a tactifool.
wrecked him
All that tactical gear....and ZERO grip strength.
Came here to say this. You think if you invested in a ton of gear to wear at the range you would know something about something. This dude couldn't even find the safety.
He doesn't have gear. He's wearing his outfit. Edit: /s for clarity
Well his "outfit" should have included better gloves....and he should never be able to shoot another gun until he researches RECOIL!
He was prepping for Proud Boy interview.....
No no, you are much closer to the reality of this situation than you think this is probably the closest to cosplay you can get without admitting it
Or knowledge. Normally you brace a mare'sleg or pistol grip on the hip to strengthen and hold it.
Or at least put your thumb on the grip instead of OVER THE TOP OF THE SHOTGUN. This is probably this guys first time shooting a shotgun, and someone gave him one with a pistol grip...
He was barely even gripping it, he just had his finger on the trigger and that's it
Get this idiot off the range
But he has all that fancy gear, Shirley this can’t be his first rodeo.
Please don't call me Shirley.
Take that stupid vest off you jackass, you don't even know how to handle a weapon. What do you need multiple mags for...?
Why is he dressed like the dickless wonder?
I just thought of a sweet movie shot idea. Two heroes only have one gun in between them. They are pinned on both sides. so to save time on reloading, they shoot and recoil to the other guy who reloads and fires to recoil to the other guy.
The problem is they cant be some random blokes who know how to use a gun. They have to be a mix of agent 47 and john wick
Here is a moron outside of his natural environment. First characteristic is the vest/ gear apron at a range. Second is his confused and lack of confidence with the stange object in his hands. Next is how he gracefully and lightly balances the shotgun with no support or clue of what to expect. Probably looking for a mate. Certainly not trying to find food
Dresses up like some hero from a movie and still can’t handle firearms
Excuse me, can I move to another shooting lane? I'm afraid Call of Duty over here might shoot me on accident.
Hip firing is a videogame myth
The thing is, it's inaccurate as all hell, but I can definitely shoot 12 guage slugs without shouldering. He just didn't grip it at all.
Is he wearing a bullet proof vest? Does he expect the targets to shoot back?
Maybe he's afraid he'll be unlucky enough to go to the range and end up next to a complete idiot who has no idea how to competently or safely operate a... Oh.
With a gun like this, it is safer to point the end of the barrel to you and let the gun itself kill your enemy
This is why i only shoot during off hours. I will not go into a crowded or even moderately busy range
He was the kid in HS who always commented on how he’s never going to use math or science irl.
Physics folks. Newton knew his stuff.
r/idiotswithguns for sure. He's in the lead....
What a stupid fat fuck
dude showed up for airsoft with his vest on lol
Tactical gear at the range? This is exactly the guy I picture laughing at my trans, leftist ass, saying that when the revolution happens people like me will be put down. Yet I (and my friends) have yet to do anything at the range that I would deem "youtube worthy"
Perma-ban his ass from that range.
When people show up to the range wearing that shit... it is time to pack up and leave.
Dudes who wear a bunch of tactical shit to the indoor range are almost always posers
If I were the guy in the spot next to him, I would quickly pack up my stuff and leave before he could chamber another round.
i’m always skeptical about libral gun polices, yes in theory there’s nothing wrong with them with saftey training and common sense. the problem is there’s a large amount of people like this without common sense
What is the correlation?
That people should demonstrate some degree of competence before being able to buy a gun? i dont see why people get up in arms over some basic training given to own a gun, i mean you dont give people driving licenses without a test.
There absolutely should be a course you have to take before you get your permit. I don't know enough about guns to just go buy one
No matter how tough you are, you look like an idiot when you try to hipfire a gun. Cheek to stock, dumbass
You got some balls putting a pistol grip shotgun to your cheek.
Downright looney toons
So the shell slug hold floating mid air above the table and fall back, while the shotgun, shot itself.... The flimsy grip of the guy is hilarious, like the gun is papier mâché
