I injured myself firing a 9 mm Browning.
Instead of adoptIng the recommended grip, I went for the much cooler looking wrist holding method.
Somehow managed to get my thumb in the way of the block coming back and badly bruised my thumb and wrist.
I never saw that happen in Starsky and Hutch.
Airgun as a kid.
To my shame, I actually shot and killed a blackbird at the age of about 10.
I never shot at another living creature.
In training when I joined the RN, SLR, Sten gun, and 9 mm Browning.
Later on, the SA80.
