Then you're in big trouble if you look at this one...
The second half of this is verrry hard to find a video of.
I saw this when Conan was 'invited' up to do a few shows in Canada (last year?). I was astounded that it would be allowed to air--anywhere, much less Canada! Someone must have let it go on just to inflame people against the US. As if they needed a reason. Of course, it is OK when Canadian TV lampoons people on the streets of the US.

A friend (no military background) saw the video and observed that the Army must have very poor marksmen as the printer didn't jump when hit, so it must have been missed.
I don' thin' so. It seems to me that there is very little momentum transferred to the object. It just gets a big hole in it. That rifle is intended to transfer momentum to much more robust targets. No?

If it jumps, the round stayed in it. If it doesn't jump, the round went through without hitting anything of significant density.
Don't want to tell you how I learned that...
I'm no firearms expert, but from the heft of his weapon I'd say that it was originally intended to be mounted on a tripod or a stand. It might pack a heckuva recoil that'd make it hard to stay on target. Guess I'll have to get my nephew on the question.

as an avid shooter i can tell you not everything jumps when hit,especially with a high powered caliber.alot of times victims of gunshots arent even aware at first they have been hit.because of it in combat we are trained to aim for the pelvis area shattering the bone and making a further attack mechanically more difficult.
I wrote a rap song about ER. Working on the background audio now.
If you folks are nice to me I may post it sometime. Probably
have to wait until cocktail hour to get (me) in the proper mood for
this.
