I would mostly be concerned for the recoil getting away from a child when firing a full auto weapon, because there are some hosed-up stories out there of people handing subguns to kids and ending up in tragedy. This kid seems to have it cinched in nice and tight though.

I guess it's a good thing civilian access to full auto is very limited and probably would not be posted all over the internet.

I live in CT and we had something like that a few years ago. Some kid was killed at a gun show from the recoil flipping the barrel around towards him.

EDIT: 8 year old 5 years ago in MA.

They started her on semi to let her get a feel for the recoil and then she just shot bursts on full auto to keep the barrel down. The gun owner, range master and her dad were all within about 5 ft of her and she'd had about four years of firearms experience at the point the pic was taken.

Well that's 100% fine then :) gently caress knows the first time I fired a gun on full-auto half of every burst went over the berm. That was a Lithgow L2A1 though...

Like I said, she seems to have a good grasp (:v:) on the situation.

If you have a bunch of coins in a breast pocket, they will naturally stack up slightly. If the width of the row of coins (laid side by side) is wider than the width of the pocket, they're going to overlap (gravity means they're all going to form a line along the bottom of the pocket, not stack up vertically). If you have enough of them, they'll overlap so densely that they'll almost be a stack (note that the coins in the picture aren't stacked perfectly on top of one another; they're on an angle).

I would bet a thousand dollars that the grandfather says that line every time he tells the story; and there's one person who's heard it 80 times and is just sick of it.

Imagine this think charging straight at you, hissing a spitting and ready to gently caress you the gently caress up:



Swans are big, nasty and extremely protective of their young. They can have a wingspan of up to 3 meters, and those wings can whip you like a mofo.

You don't gently caress with any birds. I've lived on a farm with roosters and some of them are the most aggressive fuckers imaginable. My mother even has scars on her legs from where some of them used to jump kick her.

I lived on a chicken farm for a year (a free range community supported agriculture thing but there were like two thousand chickens + a couple dozen roosters) and gently caress chickens forever. Seriously if you want to become a meat eater live and work with a large number of chickens for a year and collect their eggs and feed them every day. If you don't get cut up and molested by roosters you'll get pecked to poo poo by hens who just want to cannibalize their eggs in peace or get a lung disease from the chicken poo poo.

Birds are loving assholes.


e: Don't even get me started on turkeys or ducks, gently caress.
