      Apparently he’s quite capable of doing so without prosthetics.

        I think my wife has shown me a video of him?

        I hate to make assumptions but honestly how many quadruple amputees can manipulate and shoot a gun and have made videos…

        I’m sure it’s more than one because people sure do get curious as to how… But still.

        So…I don’t think the guy used prosthetics. I played a few video games online with him, and he did not use prosthetics to play. We played a racing game, which was kinda wild, cause he used controller. Would push it down into his thigh for gas/brake on the triggers, and use his nubs for the buttons/sticks. He was pretty well handy (lol) on his own, getting around and stuff. Idk what he did for driving specifically, but he also had a video of him shooting a gun without prosthetics as well.

        All that to say…I don’t think the man had prosthetics lol

            Yup! He played some CoD and 2k, I think, and I played a game with him called MX Bikes. He was actually pretty damn good at it, even without considering the amputations. He was also featured in a short ESPN doc after winning his regional cornhole championship or something to that effect.
