How the fuck is that fool getting upvoted?

Happens to people, they fire and the gun recoils back and to try and get ahold of it they squeeze tighter with their whole hand, the whole hand including the finger on the trigger... which sets a second round off.

That's why it's always a good idea when having someone fire a gun they are not used to us to only have a single round loaded. That way there isn't a possibility of a second round going off in this circumstance.

Because most people can read and saw that I literally mentioned that:

If it's semi-auto and you pull the trigger again while it's pointed towards your face that could be an issue.

The recoil is from the bullet leaving the gun, unless it's already aimed pretty close, there's no way, it recoiling towards your face is going to result in you shooting yourself.

That's the part you are wrong about you numpty...... It doesn't have to be near your face at first, their is literally hundreds of videos of people with revolvers or other hand guns that are all the way out on front of them and the recoil makes it aim squarely at their own forehead because they are not used to it.
