This clip of a girl from Germany learning how to shoot a firearm is very funny, although the star of it has probably gotten hurt in the process of filming the scene.

The video was added to YouTube in October 2012, but it was recently covered by major media outlets such as the Huffington Post. This upload has garnered over 45,000 views so far.

As she prepares to shoot, presumably for the first time, you know that this will not end well. She drags it out for about 30 seconds as she tries to work out the courage to pull the trigger.

She has a very petite frame and she is attempting to fire a rifle. The gun may be too big for her as, when she does fire it, the recoil knocks her over.
