damn, the recoil must be tough on that one. wimps though to be letting that gun fly out of their hands like that, very dangerous.
the highest i fired was 30-06 winchester bolt action.

A .30-06 is nothing compared to that. It's like shooting a .22 LR. The .30-06 puts out almost 3,000 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, while this thing puts out 11,000 ft-lbs of energy at it's peak (for you folks who only understand metric, it's a sh**load). Even the "light" loads put out 9,000+ ft-lbs. Take a .30-06 and multiply its recoil by about three times...

It's probably a single shot weapon, though, so losing control after firing, while damaging to the weapon, isn't going to result in another discharge. :ar15:

I saw (clips from) this video once before (many years ago!) Still just as entertaining.

The original video didn't have as many shooters, though, and didn't have the music. Also, there were a couple of shooters not seen in this clip...like the guy who ends up breaking the glass from the flying rifle and ends up on his hands and knees...pounding on the door...crying to be let out!!
