This may be a completely stupid thread or question. But i have always been curious, can the repeated use of large caliber rifles throughout the lifetime of an avid shooter, cause any sort of brain damage ?
I know you're thinking, (this guy might be proving his thread right). There's a large amount of force generated in the recoil and your body is constantly cushioning it, taking repeated shockwave after shockwave, thousands and thousand of times. (mind you this is if you could afford the ammo). I know myself after shooting 50 rounds of .44 Magnum my body is aching! and seeing the Marines training with .50 cal Barret's the shockwave through their body is intense!
So, what problems could this cause, if any, later on in life. or has there been any studies regarding the subject?
Thanks
