```The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.```
sounds like someone needs a straight jacket
I can't format. rip
Yay
Im a Canadian thats never been near a fired gun
But Jesus christ man
i feel like these people don't know what ptsd is
This is embarassing
I think they're not lying, it's just how sheltered they are
"i was anxious and irritable for a few hours" =/= PTSD
It would've been amazing if the person filed for government assistance for the "PTSD"
Well they did say 'temporary'
I think they were just genuinely shaken by the experience.
if you had PTSD fireworks would do to you what the fire alarm did to my cat
And failed to describe that well
Still, being so terrified of a firearm you yourself are firing is quite embarassing
i can see it for some types of older guns from before we figured out how to reliably make them not explode in your hands
but for a modern gun... yeeeeah
Well, vulnerable little animals are startled by loud noises.
Yes they are vulnerable little animals.
I dunno
Maybe actually knowing how a gun works mechanically
Really dispels alot of this
He probably has zero idea
Being irritable for hours?. It's usually a liberating experience
... Is it?
probably depends on your mindset going into it
Long term irritability rarely happens for healthy reasons
Often its due to stress
It's definitely liberating
i haven't shot a gun in a looooooong time but i remember my dad letting me shoot cans with his .22 when i was little and my reaction was just childlike wonder
I've shot a lot. Very fun.
"this is so coooOOOOOOooool" -me, age ~8
And if it feels intimidating, just imagine what you're shooting is Karl Marx
lmao
