I just fired a full auto machine gun for the first time recently I have to say I was pretty surprised by how it "walked" up. Never believed the stories about hitting the ceiling until I did it too. After the first few rounds, I knew how to control it.

I think I was about 5 when my dad started taking me to the range. Only time I came close to getting hurt was when I didn't have a rifle butt against my shoulder properly and the recoil ran the scope into my eye brow.

I've come far closer to death plenty of times with bicycles, cars, airplanes, the beach, swimming pools, etc. Guns are one of the safest hobbies around.
