The only reason the gun goes flying over the range instructors head is because he is stupid. The original owner told him how to hold and shoot the gun, but the guy thought he knew better. He has one hand on the forearm which is absolutely useless. The gun can be handled and shot properly with a tight two handed hold on the grip.I have shot it several times and while the gun has tremendous recoil, it is quite doable. But look at it this way. The big instructor that has the gun fly by his head is famous. The video has been viewed over a million times on you tube. When I taped shooting the same gun a couple of times it got about 60 views. It was nothing special because I fired and held on to the gun.The video was not nearly impressive. I still think it is fun to shoot, even though it is on the impractical side of things.
