Doesn’t even need to be single shot

I’m sure that theoretically you could be so surprised by the recoil that you’d somehow cycle the bolt and pull the trigger to fire a second shot, but trying to imagine how that could actually happen only conjures up some pretty wild Rube Goldberg scenarios for me.

So I guess if it’s your first time shooting, don’t do it with any kind of repeating firearm in a room full of mouse traps, ball bearings, umbrellas, boxing gloves, etc.
