I don't know how he managed to keep standing after experiencing the
recoil of the larger calibre weapons. His shoulder must have been in a
terrible state....

After every range day, my shoulder was always black-and-blue with bruises from
firing the 12-gauge shotgun with rifled slug instead of buckshot. Shoot that
ten times in a row and you'll be aching for a week. Nothing I'd rather have in
a firefight but I could do without shooting it at targets.
