I have seen worse injuries from industrial accidents.How bad would that be compared to an industrial and I have had few of those.

It wasn't the extent if the wound I was talking about. It was that kids can view this thread and that even a well trained Marine can have an accident if not diligent about safety.

Good point Shadow.

I had a good friend way back in the 80's, who swore he could rapid fire a Bren-10. His eye shot out due to the recoil on about the third shot, and hung on his face.

Diligence is the key here.  that, and not doing anything stupid.

I agree, Sirgod. I had firearm safety drummed into my skull even before I was big enough to lift a firearm.

It means don't jerk the trigger to fire as it will make the barrel move and spoil your aim. So you squeeze with even pressure, not pull a trigger.

Exactly, Corbo.

Imagine you have a small rubber ball in your hand, now just gently squeeze it with the forefinger , Age. That is the same effect that you are looking for, rather than just trying to jerk the finger and squish the ball.

To all those Military trained do they teach you to use both hands or just your dominate hand?I often see lefties with the gun on the right holstered and pulling it out with thier right hand.

It was taught back in Norse days of the Vikings to leanr how to wield a sword with both hands in case you lost one of them.This happened to Tyr God of War which he had to switch from is right to his left.
