    In the other thread, someone posted this lovely video of someone firing this exact gun.

    He’s clearly not some weedy kid firing a gun for the first time, but he’s visibly dreading the recoil. When he does fire it, it kicks up pretty high, and if he had a less firm grasp, he very well could have hit himself in the face with it (you hear of people breaking their noses or getting black eyes that way every once in a blue moon, firing a handgun they have no business handling). According to the description in the video, the guy later found out he got a stress fracture in his wrist.

        You can fire it twice, but the guy only loaded one shot because he knew just once would be painful.

          Firing it a second time with a broken wrist strikes me as a terrible idea.

          Tools that maim you when you use them may well be poorly designed. But maybe that’s just me.

            It’s uh, definitely not a PRACTICAL gun. But some guns are made for the “Because we can” factor.
