I catch you doing something like this at Castle Argghhh! you'll lose your range privileges.
 
This doesn't *look* like a scene from Jackass.  Wonder what the bet was.

Dude - once you've moved from Newton's First Law and applied his Second - well, One + Two = Three.

Idiot.

Bet that will leave a mark.

Fortunately, it looked like the rifle was undamaged.

He deserved every bit of that recoil.

Too bad he didn't catch that recoil in the 'nads and drain that shallow gene pool!

Where do these people come from and why didn't their kind die off generations ago, like right after the cross bow was invented.

Heh.
It is rather comforting to see idjits doing things that I can safely say that I'm not stupid enough to do myself.

Stupidity should be painful.

@Armorer, Interesting piece, *Jackass* is not the term I would use, I like one of your other terms. To keep it purely technical, two "Phuster Clucks" came together and produced one of their own kind. There will never be a shortage, they're not like lemmings that run off the cliff. Nah, they just start reproducing more of the dang things. Before long, that will be considered normal. Isn't that just comforting? 

@BillT I see you've got your priorities right.

@SFC D, Aren't you assuming not in evidence, like  'nads?

Grumpy - you may not be familiar with Jackass. Which is a positive thing.  We think the better of you for that, believe me.

Looks like he hooped on coke as well.

And some people never learn...wanna bet this is not the 1st dumb thing he's done?

Hey, I've got a BLR in 308W - maybe I can try that!  Actually, because of the drop of the cowboy-like stock, it does tend to jump up anyway, and if you butt-crawl on the bench you can get a decent whack from the scope that teaches you the error of your ways!

I "lived" jackass. I let people throw baseballs at me. Rocks. Dirt clods. When I managed to get my hands on a vest, I let people shoot me. Beanbags, with and without the vest. I made a habit of getting in fights with people far stronger than I. Thankfully, I was never able to find anyone with a trebuchet large enough to throw me.

And I would never do the stuff this idiot did.

Hmm - maybe for a 'Merican audience I should have said "wiggle your face up the stock", rather than "butt-crawl".... two peoples separated by a common language and all.

Yanno, Og - I've been shot wearing a vest.

It hurt.   A lot.

No one gets a freebie.  If you send something my way - I'm sending something back.  A lot of somethings if I'm annoyed and have the capacity.  In fact, that's an SOP for me.

And if you are shooting at me - I guarandamteeya I'm annoyed.

This better not be me in the future.

Oldloadr- because vermin reproduce more rapidly than they can be killed off.

First time shooter on a Sheridan almost always came out with a broken/bleeding nose and bloody wounds about the shooting eye for exactly the same reason. Hearing alla the horror stories about the recoil of a 152mm gun/launcher on a 17 ton platform caused those who listened to line up the sights and lean way back before tapping the triggers. Causing the M127a1 telescopic sight to immediately hunt you down and brand you. The gunner's hole was too small to get far enough away. Since moi never listened to anyone, for pretty much anything, I kept my mug glued to the sight and never understood what alla the sturn und drang was all about. This got me a)branded as a known smartass, and b)assigned as a gunner way earlier then the rest of the rabble I signed up with.

Armorer,  You are so correct, I never thought of the two legged variety of Jackass, in this part of the Country, we call those danged critters, politicians.
