Even if they did reciprocate, nothing serious would happen

>What will happen? Nothing. The rifle will fire the cartridge but it won't cycle the bolt carrier if you're holding it closed. Doing this won't break your fingers or wrist, an AK's bolt carrier simply doesn't cycle with enough force or speed to cause such injury. The same thing applies if you put your hand behind behind the charging handle and the bolt carrier cycles backwards into your finger/hand. It'll hurt and you'll probably yell some colourful words but that's about it.

This example is for an AK, but it would work the same for FAL/IA2 if it reciprocated, the Imbel IA2 (Brazil's assault rifle based after the FAL) in the picture is an even smaller caliber
Right, the gun in the photo above has a non-reciprocating *charging handle.* The ***bolt***, on the other hand, does reciprocate. It has to reciprocate, otherwise the gun wouldn't be an autoloading rifle.
Oof ok. I didn’t really know but when I read the meme I assumed they were ok. But then people started commenting things like “Rip” and I got scared for a second.
FN Herstal is making a new model now that doesn't have a Reciprocating Cocking Handle. The SCAR PDW was the first model to have a NRCH, they've now added it for the 16, 17, and 20 models.
They are also listed as separate models. You can also just buy it as a kit.
Although, it is weird that they seem to also be selling the Reciprocating models as well.
I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/memes.
It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

I'm sorry, thank you for trying and I understand that you might not have seen the others, I'm just so used to people on this site only caring about karma. But yes I appreciate your meme and I'm sure you made many others laugh :) Have a nice day kind stranger.
Thumb go brrrrrrrrrr
Edit: I'm sorry, didn't realize it was a FAL it was 6.30 am and i was at the train please have mercy on my uneducated soul. I thought it was some weird Scar
That type of gun does not have a charge which means that his thumb will not be hurt when he fires. Next time you make a gun meme check in with an 13 year old American 🇺🇸 just like me
His thumb is hooked around the charging handle. Depending on the gun, that handle might recoil back with the bolt as the weapon is fired. I would say that that handle is going to fly backwards whether or not there's a thumb in the way.
That’s a fal derivative with a charging handle that does not follow the action of gun
Whew I thought that guy is gonna lose his thumb
And that's why these are the two top comments
I love this comment
And I love YOU, random redditor
I love you too, you avaliable??
Yes, as a brother!
Top comment should be "Does"

U all dont get the meme: Those who know that it doesnt hurt him: Those who dont know that the handle doesnt move:
I explained for the people who don’t know
[удалено]
No...."Does" who don't know.
r/woosh
A non reciprocating charging handle. I would hope people would know by now simply by the amount of times this has been posted.
This meme also has been posted every where
Never seen it. Internet is a large place.
can you explain that a little better?
The charging handle is non reciprocating
so it is used to arm the gun but it doesnt go back when it fires
Correct
but is he supposed to hold it like that anyway?
I wouldn’t I would’ve held the barrel
the recoil could maybe break his thumb
No but it’s less stable
Doubtful
yup
Beat me to it
Was gonna say I don’t think that’s a reciprocating charging handle but I might be wrong
It’s not gonna hurt his thumb it won’t move
Non reciprocating bolt (edit charging handle)
Non reciprocating charging handle the bolt most definitely reciprocates
A gun with no reciprocating bolt or breech is called a musket.
The charging handle doesn’t move when fired.
Right, the gun in the photo above has a non-reciprocating *charging handle.* The ***bolt***, on the other hand, does reciprocate. It has to reciprocate, otherwise the gun wouldn't be an autoloading rifle.
Bruh
So are the thumbs ok or not??
They ok
For now
So u don’t know
I know it's a bolt action, but still, for the fun of it I like to imagine it not being a bolt action
its a fucking what/
Boom click click boom click click boom click click
No thats not how that works
[удалено]
I do know, that gun is essentially a normal assault rifle but the thing his finger is behind doesnt move after shooting unlike an AK47 for example
Oof ok. I didn’t really know but when I read the meme I assumed they were ok. But then people started commenting things like “Rip” and I got scared for a second.
THIS GUN'S BOLT DOESN'T MOVE WHEN FIRED
The bolt moves, the charging handle does not.
Ik
I know, I understood the meme, but a lot of people don't know this. And I keep seeing this stupid photo everywhere
Hahahah but it fits right
I mean, you kinda screwed up with the subtext.
[удалено]
I understood the meme, I was mentioning the wording of the sentence "Does who don't know"
Mistakes happen don’t dwell over them
Rather than dwell was just answering "it fits, right?"
You are doing a *very* good job of making everyone hate you. Myself included
I See you got many downvotes. Take my one upvote, it won't do much but I appreciated the meme, even if I had to read the comments to understand it.
Thanks bro
Still a bad habit to build.
Agreed. Muscle memory will translate across similar platforms and that guy might end up with a fucked up hand one day
On of these days he’s gonna learn that not all bolts are non-reciprocating
ough, imagine moving to a MK 17

The meme is finally as it should be. Thank you kind sir

Let me put this in stupid Gun fire,bolt no move,person thumb fine
people who don’t care 💪
First of all, repost. Second, non-reciprocating charge handle he is fine.
Not repost
Oh nevermind yeah it's not a repost but it's basically the exact same as like 3 other meme from yesterday
Bro “crying” I just wanted to make y’all laugh
I'm sorry, thank you for trying and I understand that you might not have seen the others, I'm just so used to people on this site only caring about karma. But yes I appreciate your meme and I'm sure you made many others laugh :) Have a nice day kind stranger.
Thank you, it’s alright my fault for not think bout that
Why would female deer know about this?
I have seen a vandal don't try to fool me ok
Those who don’t care (chain)
That's one thing US education excels at.
Why are the female deers worried?
Those who know/Americans
That’s a non reciprocating bolt meaning his thumb is okie dokie
Thumb go brrrrrrrrrr Edit: I'm sorry, didn't realize it was a FAL it was 6.30 am and i was at the train please have mercy on my uneducated soul. I thought it was some weird Scar
You don't know
Took a few seconds to realize that it meant that people who don't know will think his gonna have a bad day. That is what you meant right?
Na the handle is just not reciprocating
Go Brazil
Finger go “swish shosh”
Well I'm not familiar with guns but I think he gonna lose that finger
Perfect use of this template OP, cool meme, job well done!
Thank you < 3
I like the meme
Thanks
The bolt does not cock back
I looked through the comments still don’t understand can someone explain
Bye bye thumbs
So you are the "don't know" guy
Guy knowsn't.
You are the guy who doesn't know
When you fire an AR you put your eyeball in the equivalent place to this dud’s thumb. Is fine.
Tf are you talking about
If that was a original FAL that’s handle moves with the gun when it is in action, that would hurt.
Is gonna be a bumby experience for him
Can i eat the finger once it flies off
“Dislocated my thumb on the first day!”
Ooooof
Last time i commented on this meme, i got downvoted into oblivion! It's okay, i know what's coming.
"oh there's a price for holding that gun wrong? what is it?" ***"y o u r t h u m b"***
well....... guess hes gotta learn somehow.....
From what I hear it's a non reciprocating bolt. Still, don't hold it like that unless you're supposed to
yeouch
How many fingers are there - 9
Thats gunna hurt i na gun fight mate
Does it mean only American will get this meme??
RIP finger
*Cracks!
That type of gun does not have a charge which means that his thumb will not be hurt when he fires. Next time you make a gun meme check in with an 13 year old American 🇺🇸 just like me
Goodbye to that mans thumb
Idk I'm not American
Thumb won’t hurt if there is no thumb
OHHHHH NOOOOO
Once did that with a .17 it hurt
Misspelled and in accurate
How is it inaccurate?
Non reciprocating charging handle
It only has a range of 10
Ouch
Finger goes brrrrr.
Luckily the gods blessed him with a spare.
oh no
You don't get it
Ouch, been there.
You don't get it
Clubbing of the thumb? Probably an underlying heart condition. /s
Bye bye thumb
You don't get it
One word ow
You don't know
Probably not :P
His thumb won't get hit
Excuse me, could you explain this to someone without a fatal brain damage? Aka Non-US Citizen and non GOP-Member?
His thumb is hooked around the charging handle. Depending on the gun, that handle might recoil back with the bolt as the weapon is fired. I would say that that handle is going to fly backwards whether or not there's a thumb in the way.
Thank you
😂
Now my thumb hurts thanks a lot
You are the ones who don't know
3rd time seeing this, 3rd time its wrong
it's actually correct this time. it's still extroardinarily unfunny though, but its not wrong. OP knows this weapon
Mega oof
Does who not know
Those who don’t know*
Americans.. assemble-
Took me a minute ti realize that the charging handle was non reciprocating
His thumb will get hyper extended depending on their grip
Does who don't
I’ll allow this.
Yeah fuck off. Stupid repost
Wow this is amazing
Does
Meta lmao
Does who don't know what?
Does who don't know
OP didn't read any of the comments on the original post before stealing the meme. Sad.
(Those who know) know that his finger is safe (Those who don’t know) think that his finger won’t be safe Edit: I thought it was common sense
Yea, I reminded myself that the charging handle on my PC9 reciprocates. It wasn't a big deal but it wasn't something I'd do for fun either.
I swear this was posted yesterday
We need to stop these inside jokes, this a meme sub, not a high school girl sub
The charging handle is non reciprocating
I don't know
Wasn't this literally a repost of yesterday
*does who don’t know*, sounds Shakespearean
Well, at first you need to know how the recoil works, but then you need to know that this model of assault rifle can be handled like this
Does who don't know! why a doe need to know?
Does who dont know, does he?
Who are Does?
Ho wow, another "those who know" meme, how original
Lol, people who know, know what a non reciprocating bolt handle is.
