Not sure if it’s a mistake by the comic artist, or a mistake by the instructor from the comic, but the shooter was destined for failure.
The butt should be pressing into the shooter’s shoulder, such that their body absorbs recoil. In this picture, they have it squashed beneath their armpit where recoil could flip the gun out of their hands and maybe smack their face.
It’s your first time at the range? Ok here’s a Mossberg 590 nightstick and some 3" magnum slugs, have fun!
I remember when I was a child, around seven my father had a ten gauge shotgun. I was curious having grew up with firearms so I was happy when he said he’d let me shoot it. He helped me aim since it was heavy and then stepped back and when I shot next thing I remember I was on my ass haha.
Terrified me as a kid, wouldn’t even touch that thing until I was an adult. My dad on the other hand still brings it up as one of his favorite stories.
moral of the story,? Don’t put big boy guns in little hands. I guess.
Good way to scare some respect into the child early on as well. Assuming he had full control of what would happen.
It was a single shot break action, so after shooting the weapon was out of ammo. My dad would never have let me do anything too dangerous.
And I for sure knew that guns were dangerous after that. It was an important lesson for me, a good laugh for him haha.
I’d be so scared that my kid would fuck around and not just shoot the rifle but injure or kill themselves. Or me.
Let’s just say one of my kids inherited his mother’s clumsiness. 🙊🙈
Fair enough, its important To know if your kids are ready or not for weapons, I mean, they are tools specifically designed to kill after all. But learning to respect firearms young can help with understanding how dangerous they really are if used improperly
Though a clumsy kid with a gun sounds pretty scary lol.
It really does. Luckily I don’t have to make these choices. Strict gun law-country here. And I’m happy about that.
This is Newton’s third law
I shared it with the same title the OG creator had for it, I try to do that whenever possible unless the author didn’t have a title then I’ll make one that makes sense.
You sure did and you did good.
I’m also glad people are letting us know which law this comic is really illustrating.
…isn’t Newton’s first law about inertia?
Second one is about momentum, and third one is about the action-reaction.

The first law explains why my leg never stops bouncing when I’m forced to be still. An object in motion wants to stay in motion.
Hmm, I was low-key hoping that the other half of the shooting range building was blown away, and the gun-wielding character found himself embedded in the opposite wall. Then the instructor says:
Oh… sorry, I gave you the wrong munition. Uh, let’s try that again!
