Sequence went like this.

1. Rifle runs empty. Practice transition to pistol.

2. Let go of rifle.

3. As rifle is now in zero g fall, transition to pistol.

4. Have a Matrix slow-mo moment as I realize the rifle is about to whack me in the nads as my hands are following ingrained muscle memory to deploy handgun.

5. Know the nut shot is coming and there's nothing I can do about it. Brace.

6. Get hit in the nuts. Wasn't so bad.

7. Delayed pain reaction. Fall to knees. Puke.
