SO THAT IDIOT GERSH KUNTZMAN WROTE ABOUT THE “BRUISING” RECOIL OF AN AR-15. Here you can see me shooting an AR-15 at Bullets & Bourbon. Now, granted, thanks to the Rippetoe workouts I’m pretty much a man-mountain these days [Really? — ed. Well, by law-professor standards.]. But you won’t see much recoil here. That’s because the AR-15 is in fact a pretty low-powered rifle with very mild recoil.
