A friend of mine has this absurd little 20 gauge shotgun. The fit is outrageously bad and it doesn't weigh anything, so it absolutely wallops the heck out of anyone who shoots it.
We'd been shooting 12 gauges all day, no prob, but this silly 20 gauge felt like it kicked 4x harder. It's impressive that it's so awful to shoot.
The same friend also thinks it's hilarious to fire rifles and shotguns like they are giant pistols. Accuracy is poor, but it can be entertaining enough.
So I thought I'd try it with that 20 gauge.
Big mistake. The locking lever was on the tang. Tore up the web of my hand. Hurt like like heck, but I was able to keep shooting after a while. It could have gone much worse. I've read about people needing stitches after doing similar things.
