How do they still have their hands attached?

I keep seeing gunmen operating these blocks and I keep wondering how those things don't cut off their fingers or entire hands? From every single video I've seen, it was VERY close. Isn't it a little too dangerous? Le Grand Bleu (talk) 03:42, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see an example of the video you are talking about. Digitallymade (talk) 12:10, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suggesting merge into Action (firearms)

This is a redundant page which should be merged into Action (firearms)Digitallymade (talk) 12:10, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose, as for all these (and they should have been noted at Action (firearms) too). Andy Dingley (talk) 12:18, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose, it requires a section at Action (firearms) but rates its own article.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 17:10, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
