I've seen one down the bra... in person...
A good female friend of mine always wanted to shoot a semi-auto pistol....
She screamed "
that's hot!" over and over when the first spent shell went yup, you guessed it, right down her shirt.
My reactionary laughter quickly turned to horror as she spun around and pointed the muzzle at one of her, ahem, breasts, as she tried to get the casing out, with her finger on the trigger the whole time! Before I even had the chance to tell her to watch where she pointed the gun. Luckily for all of us, I personally NEVER let a newbie fire more than one round at a time for just this reason. I've had more than one person hit a target and then spin right around and almost muzzle sweep someone.
I have had several types of brass land on me throughout the years.
Worst case?
About age 13 at 4H camp. My best friend had a brand new 10/22. I got at least 6 of the hot brass from a 10 round magazine right down the collar of my shirt as we both layed prone in the lanes.
Also once saw a buddy of mine get one right in the upper lip and boy did it bleed and turn nasty looking... He was holding an SKS on his hip and burp firing it and managed to lean just a little too far forward. Took that spent shell right in the kisser straight from the chamber!
Once and only once I had a bullet come back on me. No joking.
At first I thought I had dropped a live round but when I looked down and found the bullet it really freaked me out to say the least.
Me and two other guys were taking turns shooting a S&W 10mm at an old maple tree. I was loading the other mag behind the line when, PLUNK, something hits my foot. They didn't believe me until I showed them it was powder burned and had the grooves from the bore and a slight ding in the nose. We went to the tree and found a scar where it hit the roots and then arced up along the surface bark. It then had to have went up into the air and back towards us about 30 feet away to land on my foot...
Craziest gun thing I've ever seen.
