I was impressed that you were able to extract the relevant few frames and play them in slow motion. May I ask what software you used to do that?

of the brush about 15 yards away,coming straight at me! accidental double tap,and 1 dead skunk.

As a woman, I guess I can say this and maybe not be flamed at too badly; Just because a gun can be fired by someone does not make that person's grip strength enough to fire it safely. The idea of putting just one bullet in it is a great solution to making it safer to do so, if you just have to try it. I will be on the look out at the range for inexperienced people firing one of these. It looked like the second shot went way up so the bullet was a danger where ever it came down too.

At lot of these YouTube videos are scary because some folks get a laugh out of putting a large gun into a (often drunk) beginner's hands to see what will happen.

Beats the "click the mouse real fast on Pause/Play" method I was using....
How could even a grown man double tap a large revolver, much less a small woman? I have double tapped 1911's and even my Desert Eagle but those triggers are SAO and very light. Revolvers have such a long pull.

Know of a grown man who did it none the less. Just too light of a grip I guess. And in the 500 it doesn't take any modifications to springs to make it easy to reproduce. The recoil takes care of it plenty on an out of the box gun. Probably take more adjustments on something with less recoil as was mentioned I'd imagine but this gun is just prone to it when not held well I guess.
