I don't think so. It's referring the whole action of striking his foot against a stone — bang! and that's it — rather than to the process of being striking his foot against a stone.Oh, ok -- I knew this was the case for imperative/infinitive, but not for the other moods. But even so, it seems sort of weird; isn't "not striking your foot against a stone" more a progressive/ongoing action than a single action viewed from beginning to end?
