My daughter used my .45 Colt semi auto pistol for the first time just before going to high school. Because she was unfamiliar with the gun I set the target at twenty feet on the indoor range and she fired 14 shots into it. Although the bullets scored on the paper but they were a bit ragged; but she was quiet proud of her score with such a powerfull gun and took the target to school to show her friends.
One young man started teasing her about the ragged group, and made a point of getting some others to see it and start laughing at her.
She marched right up to the boy and stuck the target on his chest, it was obvious all the shots would have been fatal if he had been the target. She smiled at him and said "put in perspective,not so bad is it"?   BFG ;-)
