Firearm-inflicted injuries?

[Cheeseybacon]

Not counting actually being shot by a firearm in some manner or another, what kind of injuries have you guys received as a result of your involvement with guns? I'll start...

The 1st time I shot a GLOCK (a buddy's 33, before I really got into guns), the slide bashed the webbing on my hand because I was holding it funny and I didn't realize the slide went backwards when fired.

One time I accidentally let the bolt on my SKS slam shut on my finger, smashing it pretty good.

my cousin got a broken nose, nice and bloody and a pretty good cut on his nose from shooting my 45/70 with a scope... i told him to watch out lol.. and sometimes when making out with my glock i'll get a cut or two if she gets naughtttt---- nvm

I've been shot thru the arm with a 22....stung a little, lucky it was a roundnose slug.

Lessee:
M1 thumb courtesy of my uncle at age 7
hot brass down the shirt/sleeve/welded to arm skin
cut by slides/arts/frames
caught multiple riccochets
caught a full jacket from a 5.56 greentip that took a core sample of the arm
removed all my fingerprints for several weeks on my 22 suppressor by hand tighening it when it was really hot. I forgot I was using it with the M16 22 kit.
scope cut on an OLD 40/40 krag

same old crap as everybody else

100 rounds fairly rapid fire in a 30-06, and laid the barrel on my bare forearm. can anyone say branded!

I can't think of any at all.....however I got my .300 win Mag cause a guy bought it and the 3rd shot smacked him in the eye. He brought it back and got something smaller...Heh

LOL!! true indeed!!

well I've had a finger sliced a bit by a M-16's action (not from firing, just a release after cleaning with my finger in the way), nothing serious though... some pressure for a few minutes and a band-aid.

beyond that, the common hot brass caught in the shirt, and a few times my ears have been subjected .45 and .223 w/o protection.

I was shooting a friends 1919A4 in 8mm and the barrel decided to separate from the threads. Two rounds fired out of battery before I let off the trigger. My right hand was on the elevation wheel and it got a pretty good blast of unburnt powder and brass shrapnel. No permanent damage or scars. Took a while to get all the powder particles out of my hand. Over the next week or two another one would work it's way to the surface. Very interesting experience.

Also countless cuts from slides closing on fingers, bruised shoulders from too much shotgunning, burns from touching hot barrels, etc.
