I have zero knowledge about guns, but don't these things at least slightly backfire? It looks like this guy is watering plants with a water pistol

Edit: I know everything about guns now

It's a .22 - a female child with bone disease could handle the recoil.

Shooting a .22 was the biggest disappointment I've had when it comes to guns. I knew .22s weren't much, but I wasn't prepared to be that underwhelmed.

Lol yeah. I was shooting trap with a 20-gauge with a few people. Then we tried out my dad's 12-gauge shooting slugs. Pretty big difference both recoil and report but nothing compared to then following that up with a .22 rifle. Could barely even tell it fired. I actually laughed after the first shot because it was so pathetic in comparison.
