Ouch!! This video reminds me of the time 2 years ago at the shooting range where the couple next to my lane was shooting a brand new Colt Delta Elite 10mm with a 5" barrel.
His wife or gf shot for the very first time any gun and as she shot the first round she lost control and still had her finger on the trigger, pulling it again for the 2nd round.
After the 2nd round the gun flew out of her hands and bounced on the concrete safety line at the range and was a beautiful gun no more. Thankfully nobody was hurt!!

I cringe every time I see someone place a powerful pistol or revolver in the hands of an inexperienced shooter. It's just an accident waiting to happen.

The one where the black guy shot himself in the leg was a law enforcement officer who was giving a talk to elementary school children.
The one in what looks like an indoor shooting range is in the place of a gunsmith in Dubai. The gun is a 600 T Rex. Saeed likes a good joke so visitors to his place of business sometimes get the "privilege" of touching one off. It's not that dangerous really; just some good natured fun.
Do you know how much brass for that round costs? I didn't think so. Last I checked it was about $8 per empty case.
The sad and stupid thing is having a lightly built woman shoot a Desert Eagle in 50 AE with apparently no prior warning as to the recoil. Getting hit in the face with a 6 lb. handgun can't be pretty. My son shot mine when he was probably 12 but I shot it first so he knew what to expect.
