A very close friend of mine suffered a severe head injury after he wrecked his four wheeler several months ago. He is slowly starting to gain movement again. He can stand and walk a littlem, with help, but he still is unable to speak and his motor skills are still pretty bad. Since he is unable to speak we do not know if he can remember everything before the accident so we have been trying to think of ways to get him to be more active in therapy. You can tell he gets frustrated trying to do the simple tasks that the therapists try to get him to do. So one day his father decided to see if he remembered his guns. He handed him his pistol that he always kept in his truck (unloaded of course) and to everyones surprise he extended his arm as far as he could and attempted to aim. His dad then went on to tell him to aim out the door and pull the trigger (the gun is unloaded). Once again to all of our surprise you hear a "click". He mustered up enough strength to pull the trigger (double action pistol so it was pretty hard to pull). After this happened we have been thinking of ways for more "gun therapy". He bought his first AR only a couple weeks before the wreck so, I was thinking about maybe trying to find an AR mag with a weak spring so he could try to load it with snap caps.
Anyone else think this a good idea or stupid idea?
