Anyone ever discharged a firearm from their EUC? For science?

I have a secret fantasy, to be rolling through an offroad trail that has scattered targets along the sides, and I have two little MPX K's strapped on to my arms, dodging trees, rocks, and flying through the air blowing back rounds like I hate money. 

With small enough rounds you'd think the recoil wouldn't mess with you too much? I dunno, I think I want someone else to try it first.

Well ... now it's not a secret anymore     it's all a matter of how experienced you are.  Like riding in strong winds - sideways, if you are a "new" rider this can be quite challenging, but after a 1000 - 2000 miles, this will no longer affect your riding.  I have done a few shots with a 12 gauge while riding my wheel slowly (at a shooting range, no home shooting here in Denmark.... sigh ), trying to hit clay pigeons.   It was not a problem to keep the balance, but i did not hit anything

Wait a minute. We don't have a baseline here. Could you have hit anything even if you have both feet on the ground? 😄

Hey  - i'm quite good at this sport .  With ammo prices skyhigh (Denmark)  you have to hit on first shot.  My stats down the line is about 23 out of 25 with 30 rounds used

Oh wow. Thank you. In that case, I guess to be a good marksman on an euc is going to be costly. 🙂

I would suggest bow and arrow -- after all you have both hands free. It also fits the silent nature of the EUC better. If you insist on guns, use a coilgun or EMP to match the hilarity of the thing you are riding.

Firing a decent sized rifle or handgun from an EUC is a non-event.

Throwing a 50 gallon drum from an mten is another story....

@yoos I love the bow and arrow idea, I'll have to try that. @The Brahan Seer That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Mate! Seems like the kick isn't a huge deal as his body was compensating for it almost automatically.

When I was still very new to riding my mten4 i used it to pick up two cinderblocks from my front yard and transport them to the dumpster of a neighbor's renovation job, a block away. one in each hand. i tried to chuck them both into the 30-yard container parked on the street from the sidewalk at the side time, while rolling past at speed. it did not end well.
