I’m impressed they were able to save as much as they did.

Stop putting *crappy* VFGs on it.

Pump guns are fun and interesting, but it’s important to consider the mental hard-wires that can be formed in using them. My example:

I had a Mossberg 835 from the time I hit purberty. Around the time I was finishing high school, I was out on a range shooting clays and got a dud round.

I lined up the gun on the clay, and right when I wanted to shoot, I pumped the gun. It startled me, and I unloaded. I did not have a recollection of pulling the trigger, it seemed to me as though I lined up on the clay, thought “ok, shoot”, and then pumped the gun.

Turned out the ejected shell had a clear hit on the primer. I had hard-wired myself to pump the instant after I shot, and the experience of the dud made that alarmingly clear to me. It was time for new, safer habits

These KSG events appear that the shooters have hard-wired in a trigger pull once they finish pumping.

Pump guns are fun and great, and my favorite hunting devices, but each of our actions with the guns need to be deliberate to avoid these exact situations.

As VFTP so clearly noted, wiring in a “F-it, I got my orders” attitude into our trigger fingers, *or just about any other actions with our guns* is a bad, dangerous practice.

Best wishes to the wounded.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
