to me ill looks like hes pulled back by one of thoughs rope things that they use in the movies.

his posture and "smoothness" of him flying backwards looks orcistrated.

The weapon is a very old anti-tank gun from the thirties by the looks, When he inserts the shell the breech should close atuomatically sealing the shell in, except it doednt work properly. On the second attempt he attempts to speed up and force it in. With an old, worn mechanisim the breech closes and the firing mechanisim goes and sets the shell off.

The gun has quite a bit of recoil so the breech hits him in the lower chest/stomach. Probably has some very interesting bruising if not broken ribs or internal injuries.

I think its real, guns that old often worn and have little problems if not properly maintained.

Bet that hurt!

thats horsesh*t. breech fires can happen to anybody. as the percussino cap used to set the shell off is shock sensitive, it just exploded by accident.

thats why breeches are designed so they are offset from the axis of the body, so when and if it does go not much is torn from your body
