How about a full-auto S&W .500?

That really isn’t full auto...

It’s basically being bump fired; the pistol was moving enough in her grip for the trigger to reset, and she’d clench her fingers in reflex...

I know it's not full auto, I was citing the video label....

It's pretty scary how close she could have been to becoming headless.

Very scary indeed. The wrong gun for that shooter.

Giving a inexperienced person any firearm with more then one round in the chamber is a terrible idea!

Even the guy that took the gun from her had some bad handling where he turned the revolver to the side while the hammer was cocked back.

1 round at a time. Regardless of capacity, 1 round at a time until proven they are competent about control and safety.

Could have been a real FUBAR there....
