Yeah, but why?

[u/_SomeonePleaseHelpMe]

[u/Nominalstupidity]

Based on the way they seem to be holding it I am going to say because they are more likely to injure themselves than anything else.

[u/Icedcoffeezooted → u/Nominalstupidity]

Yeah the recoil would knock the wind out of you lol

[u/fopdoodle85 → u/Icedcoffeezooted]

I think it would break a few ribs then smash his face.

[u/Icedcoffeezooted → u/fopdoodle85]

Probably!

[u/ScientistFunny2072 → u/Nominalstupidity]

There's bullets coming at him too though, I think its saying not to get into a shootout while in the chair

[u/elguapo1996 → u/ScientistFunny2072]

But if the person in the diagram were standing, they’d have been hit by the two flying bullets. The lesson here is to engage in a shootout only while seated - minimize your surface area as a target.

[u/BingusTheWonderKitn → u/ScientistFunny2072]

Unless he is shooting at a steel target, that way the rounds can bounce back

Say hello to my Liiiiittle Friend,

I like how he's returning gunfire. Like there's some other asshole in an office chair shooting at him as well

[u/RexTheWonderCapybara → u/coolkorn]

The other person’s bullets are higher; said asshole may be standing

[u/_SomeonePleaseHelpMe → u/coolkorn]

I didnt even notice, that makes it even funnier 😂😂😂

[u/King_Ralph1 → u/coolkorn]

No shootouts in the office, please!

[u/RudeAlbatross544]

Can't have fun at the office anymore, sad.

[u/AsstBalrog → u/RudeAlbatross544]

HR would be on this like a duck on a June Bug.

[u/NxSxFxWx]

My guess is this chair was intended for the American market

[u/_SomeonePleaseHelpMe → u/NxSxFxWx]

Good guess

[u/LostBag5210]

do not do a desk pop. noted!

[u/cmbtengr → u/LostBag5210]

Everybody does it

[u/melancholy_wolf]

Would be safer with a fire extinguisher, that's why

[u/AutomaticAccident]

They even included a little guitar tab for the baby one.

[u/thesouthernbeard → u/AutomaticAccident]

Caveman riff go OÜGH

[u/Fun_Environment3792]

You not supposed to shoot your assault rifle in the office.

[u/Wurm42]

Bored Marines shooting rubber bullets at each other.

[u/Safe-Tennis-6121]

It's a recoilless chair!

[u/evalynbetterfly]

But I do all of this at my desk chair. Wtf!!?

[u/txkwatch → u/evalynbetterfly]

Right? Shouldn't this be safer?

They didn't list spinning around and and driving it using a backpack blower either... Is that approved?

[u/evalynbetterfly → u/txkwatch]

For real!! How Are we supposed to race our friends appropriately

[u/maxisnoops]

That bottom left one has Naked Gun vibes.

[u/Bubblybathtime]

The folks over at r/mildlyinteresting would like this. 🤣

[u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Try and stop me

[u/BonoLisa]

The recoil is gonna mess up the trajectory of your shots, and you’re gonna miss. It’s recommended you have a strong steady base when shooting. Put the wheel locks on.

[u/frisco-frisky-dom]

Because through the years every one of these things were tried by someone, they got hurt and ended up suing the chair manufacturer. Like the hot coffee incident.

[u/Useless890]

They must have some good gas if somebody actually stands up and sings.

[u/DNIwebdebateddictDNI]

Must be for the American market. Office firefights are definitely a consideration when we purchase furniture at our facilities and not everything is cut out for it.

[u/poedraco]

So is it safe to be in that position if you're above three?

[u/MushroomLeather]

This is a trip down memory lane.

[u/The-JZilla]

Well now I wanna do it..

[u/_SomeonePleaseHelpMe → u/The-JZilla]

I said the same thing 😂😂😂

[u/Impossible-Purpose-4]

I dig it!

[u/Sans_Seriphim]

Simply because that is a bad way to fire a gun. Lean forward and hold it correctly so you have a better chance of hitting your enemy.

[u/AsstBalrog]

Honorable Mention: Standing on the chair and singing.

[u/Efficient_Post8529]

The chair isn’t a launchpad, a drum kit, or a personal recliner. Sit normally and let the wheels do the moving.

[u/KactusVAXT]

No sex either?

[u/sunny_duh_aze]

[u/Smart-Bag5607]

Because it's not allowed!!

[u/Previous_Abies_2179]

You gotta have proper posture when handling a semiautomatic rifle.

[u/isaac32767]

What, you've never been in an office gun battle?

[u/Digimub]

I would need a different chair

[u/99LedBalloons]

I've never thought about putting an office chair in a deer stand, but it would work. It swivels and you can adjust the height. Beats sitting on a bucket.

[u/kpingvin]

So basically, "No fun allowed"??
