Recoil: noun (ree-koil) – The backward momentum of a gun when it is discharged. In technical terms, the recoil caused by the gun exactly balances the forward momentum of the projectile and exhaust gases (ejecta), according to Newton’s third law. Also what this guy clearly knows nothing about.
Perhaps this chap should have A.) learned about what recoil does and B.) listened to his friend. He did neither and his face paid the price. The gentlemam wearing the marijuana tuque is about to shoot a sawed-off shotgun. The fella recording the target practice tells his friend to hip-shoot the weapon. He didn’t listen. He brings the gun up to his face to aim. The friend warns him, “Nah fool, don’t shoot it like that.” He didn’t listen.
When he fired the shotgun, it violently jerks backwards and smashes him in the face. The man is unable to speak clearly since his jaw is now lodged in his trachea. But his friend comforts him by repeatedly saying, “I told ya.” Only a true friend would shove it in your now mangled face that he told you so instead of asking how many teeth you lost or if you have a concussion.
