No recoil?
When I shoot a load with that much dust it usually involves some kick.
For the record, I lean “Photo-Op” not “PhotoShop”, but that’s weird that there is no recoil.....
.410?
.410?
That gun looks like a Browning Citori XS Skeet so it is more likely a 20 gauge.
For the photo-Op they probably pulled the shot from a shell and let him shoot just the wad so he wouldn't get a bruise.
It looks as if he was coached by someone who didn't know any more about skeet shooting than Obama himself.
Or the coach was someone who was happy to let the photo show what a pretender Obama really is.
I think the most reasonable explanation we came up with is that it's an AKC "popper" used for dog trials.
No lead, just a wad and I believe a very small powder charge. I have shot them in training (in an AKC hunt test the gunners in the field shoot them, I was shooting over my dog and boy was SHE surprised - they're loud compared to HRC primer loads!) and they are very, very smoky (dirty your gun up something fierce) but they have zero recoil.
Which would explain the upright stance, the lack of reaction despite having half the butt not contacting his shoulder, and the gobs of smoke (although I'm still a little surprised that there's zero smoke coming from the left side MagnaPort).
If I were working the skeet range, I wouldn't give this poser live ammo either!
I still can't figure the right side porting puff and zero from left. You would think that by now the WhiteyHut photoshoppers would know they need to know “SOMETHING” about their subject to maintain plausibility.
