Anyone been shot?

Shrapnel a few times once in the neck which hurt the worse of all. Took a round to my body armor once as well, but lucky enough to miss getting tagged full on by a round. Like I said the shrapnel to the neck hurt the most laid me out and burned like hell. The force knocked me to the ground hard enough to knock the wind out of me and it burned like hell, afterwards it was like having a sore throat when your throat feels raw after coughing allot. Thank god my vest took the brunt of it never knocked wearing the neck flap ever again after that :o
 
Not directly

I took an AK round in the chicken plate.

Aircrew wore personel armor called chicken plates. Mostly we sat on 'em - but, when we were going in & out of LZ's I usually put mine on. I took a hit center mass & it slammed me half way across the bird & onto the deck. The round didn't penetrate (obviously) but, it did fragment. I took one of the smaller fragments in the chin & bled like a stuck pig. Also left a real beauty of a bruise on my torso. Scared the hell out of me. I'll vouch for the baseball bat thing.

BB gun when I was 8 years old. Pellet bounced off my head. Nasty wound. Idiot neighbor shot me from behind. Hurt like freaking hell. Lots of blood.
 
Yes, Sir. Directly in the buttox. Some say its a million dollar wound, but the government must keep that money cause I ain't seen a nickle of that million dollars.

Only got a bruise from errant Walleye shrapnel on Little Vieques range in Puerto Rico.

My uncle had purple hearts from WWII and Vietnam. How he ever survived Vietnam only God knows. His squad was walking down a rice paddy dike when he took a round in the back. Paralyzed him and he ended up in a sitting position and unable to move. A NVA runs up and shoots him in the head with an AK knocking him over. He was in the hospital and rehab for 2 years.

My father in Law was in Korea and was wounded and laid out in freezing weather overnight. The cold probably kept him from bleeding out but caused him to have a stroke. He was very sick for several years and died at age 42 in 1964.
 
I only got shrapnel form a self inflicted wound. I wanted to see if a .30-06 would bite through a 3/4" steel plate, so I thought it would be a good idea to do it from 5 feet away. A nice chunk of steel lodged in my forearm which my buddy picked out. lots of blood, but didnt hurt too badly. And the round didn't make it through either (150gr ball out of a Garand).

Lesson: don't shoot at steel plates from close range with ANYTHING.
 
I've been shot at several times!:eek:

Only my quick reflexes, tactical rolls and... well, hiding behind stuff saved my a##.:D

All of this was a long time ago. These days I work pretty hard staying out of those situations.
 
+3 for our new friend forest!:D that was just too funny. my step dad took 1 directly in the corn hole in nam.:eek: didn't sit on his helmet couple stitches couple weeks of partying "rest" head back out.
 
Buckshot

Took 9 pellets of #1 buckshot in a hunting accident a few years ago. The sensation was like standing next to a fire lit with gas. Just a rush of air around me. It didn't hurt till later although I lost some movement in my arm for a few minutes. Got hit in both arms, both legs, my back, crotch and butt. Hit in the side with most travelling around, a range of about 20 yards. Still have one in my left leg and feel it every once in a while. I walked quite a way out of the woods when it happened and didn't feel any pain for an hour or so. Had one removed from my back against my spine, one fell out of my butt on it's own. Besides my leg, the rest were through and through.
 
As a kid we played "chicken" lined up several of us would shoot at an 18 wheeler tire if you ducked you were the chicken... I got "hit" several times with BB's... Same era I used to cut thru fields to get home but had to cross "the crazy guy's" place on the short cut. He had goats and chickens but usually I snuck past with little fan fare. One trip they got carrying on as soon as I got in his yard... His mangy mean house dog lit up so I scooted. The closest I was to his house was exiting the opposite end of the yard. He stepped out and gave me both barrels with rock salt! It was from my back down to my butt cheeks... Burned like heck but healed fine...
Later an adult shot me with a pretty powerful pellet gun for kicks... Mom finally picked it out a couple weeks later...
No bullet wounds yet (I am knocking on the walnut desk as I type)...

I took a 12 gage 7 1/2 shot in the backside at about 25 or so yards. I was the 2nd living thing my grandson shot - about 13 years ago. He was 8. To make a long story short, I had to jump a fence to pick up a downed dove when BAM! It hurt like heck. I made him pluck a bunch of pellets out of my back butt and legs while he was crying. Maybe 8 years later my chiropractor's x-ray found 4 more that had migrated around (or through something) in front of my stomach. Now I have to track them to make sure they don't go into any vitals.
 
.22 LR to the mid-forehead. I was shooting tin cans at Lytle Creek in CA when a .22 round out of my S&W Model-18 ricocheted off a rock ane came straight back at me. It nailed me right in the forehead. The whack smarted and felt like a heavy thump of lead on impact, kicked my head back smartly, but otherwise only left a red mark and low grade headache for the rest of the day.

Sometimes God smiles on stupid handgunners and let's 'em get off with a lesson they'll not soon forget.

This happened when I was about 12 or 13. I shot a stump with a 12 ga. slug. The slug bounced off the stump and hit me in the abdomen. It left a nasty bruise for about two weeks. "Hurt like hell didn't it?" was the only response I got from my dad.
 
--Once, 12 gauge shot gun from 30 yards from my uncle while dove hunting. Return fire by empting 20 ga. Browning auto.
--Once, .22 LR hollow point, richochet back while squirrel hunting. Just stuck in hide of my chest.
--Once, .31 Pocket revolver, ball bounced back off 3/4 in. plywood. Too low powder load, hit ankle. No damage.
--Once, .45 CVA Kentucky rifle while cleaning after deer hunt. Had hand on ramrod down barrel when it went off. Left a deep slash across right palm, into/out of thumb. Permanent nerve damage. Ramrod exited hand, killed a
loaf of Bunny Bread. Jag remains in wall. :D
 
only zinged

Only hit by 9mm Luger ricochet from a broken backstop at 10-15ft while running by and shooting a scenario in training. Broke sweater, undershirt and skin, stung and burnt and make me swear out loud. But I could finish the scenario and check it out later on.

It was just a scratch but gave me a tiny idea of what a real hit would be like. I have taken quite some punches and kicks from good fighters in good training, was knocked unconscious twice and all that was much more pleasant than the sting and burn and not knowing how bad it was until the scenario was finished.
 
once when i was 13 i was shot by a farmer with a salt rock in the rear end. also went shooting my mosin recently at some bowling pins,and I shot the iron beam that was holding them up.I cought some metal shards in the shin other than that i considder myself very lucky.
