One thing, If that weapon didn't have the muzzlebrake installed...It could very well have killed him or at least broke his wrists(if that didn't happen anyway). They had to have toned down that report for that video, If that was a "hot" 30/06 load....That sucker would "deaf" ya.
While the video is cool, Being somebody that is into hunting rifles, shotguns, and muzzleloaders, I think that fella was just being stupid....He is lucky he didn't hurt himself badly..(that is if he didn't...) However, whatever floats your boat I guess..
