The gun would spin right out of her hand and hit her in the face unless she has a very firm grip.

But on the bright side, as long as she isn't catapaulted back into the wall, it means a bit of extra space between her and the zombie if she doesn't manage a kill shot.<br /><br />Given the time of year, maybe the soldier outfit was a trick or treat costume?
