Marushin M1887 "shotgun spinning"

Killing time on YouTube and came across a bunch of these videos teaching people how to do the Terminator 2 single hand reload of the lever action like he does on the Harley in the chase scene in the first half of the movie.

I'm sure people tell themselves it's safe as it's unloaded when you start, and pointing away when the spin is finished. Looking at a pair in slow-mo, looks to me like the lever closes and it would be good to fire about the time it's pointing at your knees :|

You can't teach stupid, but it's a popular self-taught subject in the old US of A obviously :lol:

Except you'll probably be missing your knees or your junk after a few spins.

Not great for carrying them across the threshold on the big night, or the rest of the night :lol:

A quick flip with the shotty then let the ER department tidy him up :lol:

Yes, anyone who does that to load a shotgun is an idiot. Plain and simple.
