I knew that one, and I wonder 2 things: - If you fire a pistol, would the knockback be really that bad or is just those lamers not holding their gun firmly? - Would pistols really are so trigger happy that people fire them without intention all the time?...
safety pin FTW and those people firing that same gun in the same room is a prank ^^ at a shooting range they said that this gun was the best so everybody tried and they got KABOOOMED! :lol:
It ain't a grenade.. But those nutjobs with the elephant gun are a piece of you tube history.. And for those other nuts, just don't put your finger on the trigger when you don't want to fire, and yes, safety isn't on the gun for nothing... Reminds me of making an appointment with my brother to go to the shooting range pretty soon again..
I think it depends on the gun design. Well designed ones have a good shoulder-/handsupport and have a few openings on the top, where a bit of the pressure can escape, creating a pressure at the top of the gun, forcing the gun downwards and compensate for the upwards knockback... National geagraphic ^^

correction; Dorks with guns. Usually slightly higher in the foodchain. At least if they play FPS's. Otherwise probably lower :doubt: ("from which end does the bullet com out?")
