Hot brass burn - OUCH!

I had a hot .45 casing vault over the top of my glasses and land under my eye also. Talk about tossing a pair of safety glasses off and doing the Curley Joe!
 
[activate geezer voice] I remember, when all this was orchard, when toothpaste is all we shooters had, and we liked it! I had to walk up hill both ways in the snow to the range, and we liked it!

Barefoot! That's 'up the hill both ways in the snow to the range barefoot'.... :p

Is Martin's burn cream any good?
 
My shaved head is a hot brass magnet. They like to land on top, then take their sweet time to rolling off. The cases are probably only up there for a few seconds, but it feels a hell of a lot longer. :)
 
Yep, been there, done that, just like it happened here. Since then, I wear a hat to help keep that from happening.

This was another of those little lessons in life.

oh yeah, and wendy? this thread is worthless without pics! oh wait, i forgot, this is THR, not glocktalk......darnit!

LMAO! I would rather not get tossed off of THR for something like that ;)

Skunkabilly
LMAO @ you too! :D

I was lucky that my burn didn't leave a scar. I have enough of those already! :(
 
He's right about glocktalk...I saw a picture there once. Guy photographed his wife (cut her head out of the pic), topless, with "Glock" panties (***??), holding a glock pistol, and posted it.

Utterly charming.

Wendy, however, if you really must share those kind of photographs, you can simply use the PM function to send them out, without upsetting the moderators.

Hmm...that about fills my sexual harrassment quota for the day. I'm set. Waiting for my slap, though I request you take off any diamond rings first. ('course, they leave cool scars...)

Anyways, I think the worst burn I ever got at the range was when I accidentally touched the barrel of my .30-30 as I was trying to adjust the sights. Ended up losing the screw that held the rear sight on, too, and the sight fell off...:rolleyes:

Man, I'm smooth sometimes.

Last February, when we were qualifying for Guards, another guy's M16 spat brass at me that got caught between the earpiece of my glasses and my temple; burned the side of my head, and caused me to jerk a shot. Ended up getting a 39/40, instead of 40/40. :banghead:
