I've never shot an AR-15 but I enjoy an afternoon at the range and have fired a good assortment of guns. The most unpleasant shooting experience I've ever had was shooting .357 magnums in a small frame snubbie revolver. Like a stick of dynamite going off in my hand. Never again.
It was some years ago, was at the range...and you know how it goes there sometimes...if you aren't surrounded by pinheads. So one guy had a Desert Eagle .50 cal, and he allowed to me give it a try.
I have shot guns since I was 6 years old. I've never met a gun I didn't want to shoot. I also feel that I need to add that I'm not a guy, as so many on here seem to assume...and it might have made a difference when I shot that thing.
Anyway, I held my wrists tight, as instructed, I got as firm a grip as I could, as instructed, and I shot one round.
That fricken thing recoiled so damn hard, my arms flew straight up. I put that gun down, stepped back, nodded my head in respect, and stated that I will not shoot one again. Hell no. If Mr. Pansy Pants wants recoil to cry about, he can shoot one of those and report on it....THEN I would believe him.
The surprising thing is that we haven't seen one of these nutjobs show up with this kind of rapid-reload shotgun or high powered hunting rifle. I'm guessing Sandy Hook may have popularized the AR-15 among the crazies. Years ago, it was the semi-auto AK-47 that was all the rage with folks going postal. If Omar Mateen knew guns better, he'd have walked into the club with something a lot more lethal.
Nobody died at Sandy Hook.
Here's the drill, complete with LE laughing, peeling bananas, and plopping colorful snacks on the hood of the cruiser:
Remember the "Pajama Boy" pusscake from the ObamaCare ads?
It seems he has an older brother whose testosterone level is in the severe negatives. What a pansy:
"It felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon......"
".......But mostly, I was just terrified....."
And get this
".......The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable....."
Take a Midol, have a glass of wine and a hot bubble bath, sweetheart.
What! What a moron and a wimp, firing an AR-15 at the range was a lot of fun! And no bruised shoulder, can hardly feel the recoil he should try firing a 7.92mm cartridge from a Mauser 98k to know what recoil is, be and even then you don't break your shoulder on that cartridge
They aren't going to like to see the new sabot slugs. They have great range.
There are grenade rounds for shotguns that are accurate to 175 meters. That's pretty terrifying. Without a doubt, a shotgun with specialized rounds would be the weapon of choice me if I was f-ing nuts and wanted to do something like the Orlando shooting. I'd have killed a lot more than 50 people.
Banning the AR-15 isn't going to help anybody. At best, it'll just force shooters to use something else which will almost certainly lead them to more lethal options like rapid-reload shotguns and the like.

Yeah, sounded like BS to me too. If this guy has ever shot a 30-06 or a 12 gauge shotgun, he knows that the AR-15 is a lightweight.

I'm told that the S&W 500 kicks worse. Makes sense actually. It's a .50 cal magnum revolver, so more powder than the Desert Eagle .50 and zero recoil dampening. I've never seen any point in trying to shoot one of those. Just a pointlessly overpowered gun with insanely expensive ammo IMHO.

i thought about buying a desert eagle once, then i visited the plant in wyoming where they made them, and was cured of that idea. at the time they had just the revolver, though they were building a prototype autoloader.
