Upon inquiring I have been corrected. It was a Colt, but it was a .357 Magnum, which explains the initial furrowing. She also shot a .45 and a Smith and Wesson although she can't remember what type.

Wowee, that could well have gone rather wrong, I wonder where the round landed up?

Even weapons with lesser recoil don't always fly right...

Not directed at you SS, but more of an observation.

In the army we started with full power 7.62x51, its no problem to handle, unless you hold yor rifle in a pants on head retarded way, but in the end of that video they are firing .577 Tyrannosaur Which is just insanity.

Oh yeah, I get that. I've shot a fair share of different calibers, although I own mostly military calibers now. And I agree .577 Tyrannosaur is a tad bit on the crazy side.

It was more of an observation on how people like give give stuff like .44's etc to people who have never handled a firearm before.
