Former Seahawk RB Marshawn Lynch is hogging our screens this week. From going on Shannon Sharpe’s show and dropping some surprising nuggets about his former teammate Russell Wilson, to now dropping a video of him handling heavy artillery, he really has brought the spotlight on himself in the past few days.

Lynch’s ‘Beast Mode Productions‘ just dropped a video of his visit to a military battlefield gun range, and it’s as crazy as it sounds. From checking out heavy artillery to trying his hand at operating said artillery, Lynch had quite a day shooting targets.
Marshawn Lynch Had a Blast Shooting Targets
The video is a ride from the beginning to end. Lynch brings his trademark humor to this adventure and it’s obvious from the offset how excited he is to be there, but also nervous.
The team first gets a tour of the storage and is introduced to a wide variety of heavy machinery, at the sight of which Lynch is visibly excited, pointing at one weapon and saying “Is that a grenade launcher or something?“, while pointing to another and saying, “I’ve seen this on modern warfare.” He showcased his love for artillery by stating that he would never leave that room, staying in there all day if he could.
He then moves onto the range and fires an impressive headshot on his very first try. The former RB clearly had a lot of fun around weapons this time but once this very love for firearms, got him in some legal hot water. Back in 2009, Lynch was suspended, per BleacherReport for the first three games after he pled guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge.
The Ex-RB’s Relationship With Russell Wilson
Just a day before he had his day out on the range, Lynch sat with Shannon Sharpe on ‘Club Shay Shay‘ and made some explosive revelations about his time in the NFL. The most surprising of these claims was his relationship with his long-time teammate Russell Wilson. Lynch detailed his relationship with Wilson, and it was surprising to find that the ex-RB did not have much of a relationship with his longtime QB, saying, “Can’t pick up the phone or call old boy or nothing.”
He further admitted that Wilson was “just a quarterback” to him. Marshawn Lynch also seemingly confirmed what others have said about Wilson receiving special treatment from Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, who tried to protect Wilson from criticism. However, Lynch made it clear that he respected Wilson as a QB on the field, even if they didn’t have a personal relationship off the field.
