Russ F. Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Story is the gun is Thompson/Center Encore chambered in .600 Nitro. Made by a custom gunmaker as a one-off show piece. The guy in the video kept bugging him to shoot it, so he let him. The .600 Nitro has over 9 times the recoil of a .30-'06. This was a big boy shooting this. Looks like he got a smack in the head to boot - which is pretty much what he deserves for trying to shoot that thing. May have been funnier if he actually did it one handed like he started off! Recoil video shot!!! [ 03-14-2006, 06:25 PM: Message edited by: Russ F. ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 AMAZING!!! Looks like the gun got a few dings in it to boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker301 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I pulled a few stills from the video. I've seen scope eye, but I think this is the first case of pistol face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleric Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Tucker - you're a machine with video analysis. That idiot couldn't move his arm after he shot. Probably jammed his elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas M3&4 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Stupid? I'd say he's got balls. I doubt many of those posting how "stupid" he is would take the chalenge to shoot it. I doubt he knew that it was going to do the damage to his face/gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 The story I got was that the moron kept whining about wanting to shoot it until the owner finally yielded and let him try it. RTFOP!

Likwid Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I would not take that challenge, so if that makes me stupid, then so be it. personally, I would think you'd have to be stupid to pull the trigger on it, balls or not.

tucker301 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Ha! I think the weight of fool to recoil ratio is about equal to the fat guy with the 600 My all-time favorite is still the one that's been around for years. Here's the link. Seen it a hundred times and I still laugh at it [ 03-18-2006, 09:29 AM: Message edited by: tucker301 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch-M Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Reminds me of the crap we used to inflict on each other in the old neighborhood. How nobody got killed or maimed eludes me to this day. LOL The complete lack of remorse from the perpetrators, and lack of sympathy for the poor fool victim is ... classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas M3&4 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 That's the problem. The story of a friend of a friends, uncles, daughter, etc. This video has been floating around for over a year. One of several "Stories" I've heard is it was a TC and someone used the wrong powder in a reload and that is why this happened. Another story is the gun had a lodged bullet and the guy picked it up thinking it was cleared, when he pulled the trigger. My point is because someone is injured on a shooting line, doesn't make him stupid. (Unless your one of those towel heads) If getting hurt (no matter how small) when shooting or hunting makes you stupid, then I think everyone I know needs to put the guns away for good. But of course I've forgotten I'm chatting with gun owners. The most notorious fast draw opinionated group in the world. I say we just head out in the street and settle it the old fashioned way. 600 Nitro Originally posted by tucker301: The story I got was that the moron kept whining about wanting to shoot it until the owner finally yielded and let him try it.
