My favorite Steven Seagal story, from his Wikipedia page:
A movie producer I worked with in my time in the industry had done a movie with Segal in which Segal was to shoot a gun. Segal said he would only use a very specifically modified AR15. The production purchased the AR with all of the upgrades Segal requested. Segal fired it one time, said it was too loud and had too much kickback and he wanted to use a prop instead.
He said an AR-15 had too much recoil? Is he made of tissue paper, or did they mod it to fire artillery shells? Christ, one of the demos they did for us at our first live fire in basic training was having one of our fellow soldiers hold an M-16 stock UP TO HIS NUTS and fire it downrange to show just how little recoil they had. I'm not kidding, I personally witnessed this. I have also put at least 20,000 rounds through M-16's and AR-15's in my life. They don't kick. Seagal is a pussy.
I was trained with the H&K G3 with a slide stock. It's 7.62 and when I tried a 5.56 for the first time (a Swedish AK-5)I literally had to check to see if it did indeed shoot. There was no recoil from the 5.56. Never tried a M-16 apart from checking out the M-4 that the Rangers my squad was seconded to had (I was Norwegian Combat Engineer), no way that can kick to much.
M-4 / M-16 same difference. Unless it's chambered in something other than 5.56 they all shoot the same. And yeah, it's nothing like 7.62. As you are aware... you KNOW it when you're firing 7.62!
x39 is slightly more kick than 556, unless you're talking x51, then sure.
Do you know what happened to the gun afterwards?
The producer has it.
He ate it, from what it looks like.
Lol imagine thinking that aikido training means your brain doesn't need oxygen.
Well, I would have guessed that less brain needs less oxygen, but I'm clearly wrong.
I'm just using your story as an excuse to promote Bobby Fingers. Check out a diorama on the confrontation.

You can not go wrong with Bobby Fingers.
I'm glad you did. What craftsmanship!
Lost a scuffle to avoid getting choked, gets choked anyway. Shit self in the process. Classic Seagal.
It's truly a gem of a story. I can only hope Seagal thinks of it frequently, and has yet to accept himself and heal.
I love this. If it were a lie, I'm certain he'd sue them for defamation. Honestly, they probably should have sued him for calling them liars. Make him go to court over it and get it all documented. That would be the funniest thing to happen.
Rereading this makes me want to hug someone. It's like a blanket straight from the dryer. Thank you
Based on the picture it looks like he vowed to never take another shit for the rest of his life.
The champion of No Shit September.
Haha oh wow... He not only failed to stay concious, but also shit himself in front of everyone. I love that for him.
Honestly, they both come across as Dumb & Dumber. LeBell surely didn't have to actually prove such claim, but he still wanted to put Seagal to sleep, which could have ended in Seagal's death. It's literally a Jackass situation.
