Sorry I'm too 21st century to understand gun jokes
Could you explain the 18th century jest here?
i don't understand it myself.
A very energetic rifle round (where the mass of the rifle helps control the powerful recoil) being fired from a very low mass handgun would feel quite a bit like holding onto an exploding grenade.
