Shoulder-Fired Launcher Demonstration Knocks Shooter Down

At a live-fire range, a manufacturer demonstrated a large, boxy shoulder-fired launcher. A presenter displayed a cylindrical round and an open crate containing projectile bodies with orange-painted tops. A shooter then braced the launcher on his shoulder and aimed it downrange. After firing, he was knocked flat onto his back with the launcher still across him. He remained conscious and sat up as bystanders watched.

*jumps up and down*
I wanna fire it! I wanna fire it!

Then again, I would so be like that second guy. Flat on my ass, on the ground.

i wonder why 80% and not 50% or how one estimates what 80% of your wait would be on your front leg
