the right to bear arms?

is it the combination of extremely bad clothes and extremely big firearms that is sooooo very off-putting? Or just the stupidity of firing big bullets at model planes?

The flag 16 seconds in said it all.

It looks like daft fun to me. I did wonder about what would happen if the RC plane controller flew it down amongst the gun freaks......

 

[slowmotion]

Oh yes!

I prefer reading the thread title as 'The Right To Arm Bears!'

From the little shooting I've done I'd say that every one of the idiots in Video 2 has the wrong posture, which is why the huge recoil is having such a devastating effect.

My brother who lives in Michigan is constantly amazed that you can go down to the local supermarket for your groceries and while wandering round the aisles you can pick up a high-velocity assault rifle and take it home, no questions asked.

The last bit of the first vid looks like an FNRttC - all those reassuring red flashes disappearing into the night sky - how quaint!

The rest: what a performance Real people imagining...there can't be an aesthetic pleasure in letting off so many shots with gay abandon. I used to find it really difficult to shoot - left-handed - with right hand bolt action rifles etc...22 and .303!!! I enjoyed it, and still do, at a continental funfair with 'proper' guns to shoot and win a teddy...

In the rocking chair, all those folk are nodding, and agreeing - "Thar's lead in them there hills, boy" (+ a fair bit of magnesium deposit)

****ing nutters.

Just look at those stonewashed haircuts.

Do cyclists have the right to bare arms?

 

[Chrisz]

Oh yes!

LOL @ that one! Seen bits of it before - always makes me laugh how none of them lean into the weapon and they all have their right elbow dropped - butt of the rifle therefore not sitting properly in the shoulder!

Reminds me of when I first fired a shotgun. I was only 8 or 9

Having done more shooting that I care to think about, you're broadly correct BUT if you aren't expecting the sort of kick the T.Rex cartridge is likely to give I'd expect a similar reaction from many experienced shooters. I've shot a .577 Nitro Express (the precursor of the T.Rex) and trust me, the recoil is hellish even if you're expecting something big. Even so, not as nasty as the Thompson Contender pistol chambered for 30-30 Winchester that I once had the very dubious priviledge of firing. Shooting a rifle cartridge from a pistol is not to be recommended.

That's pretty good for Americans! How many were blue on blue?
