As a follow on to this link... what is the worst firearm you have been shot with? And why? To make a more lively decision, you may include firearms that have been shot at you but did not strike you.

PS: sorry this is what I get when I wake up before my normal time to wake up.

Tele_Mark,You should consider yourself lucky. You haven't felt the wrath of a 6mm .20 gram plastic bb going 150 feet per second!
 
Remington 1100. When I was working at an old trap/skeet club in MD, I was pulling a round and was at station 6. Some guy was loading his Remington with two rounds. Loaded one, turned it upside down, and put the second one in the tube. In the process, he triggered a negligent discharge that hit about 2-3 feet in front of me.
 
I got hit with a ricochet once in the head, I don't know what it was from I just looked up and I was bleeding.

Edit; I also have been hit by TONS of richochets from my BB gun, I had a Bbrichochet and go up my nose once now that hurt.
 
12GA. bean bag, I will not go into details but I am sure glad I was more then 50 yards away. Even at that the damn thing hurt like hell and left a good mark!

As for BB's... I had an older brother. Do I need to say more? [thinking] I guess playing "king of the hill" with BB guns and tin round sleds as shields was not a good idea...[rofl]

That was until we got our bows and after watching Dukes Of Hazard, attaching M80's to arrows and shooting at each other was the top of the "stupid things" list...haha
 
.22 LR rifle accidentally discharged (worn out sear) in the right ankle, the bullet tacked around the heal bone (calcaneus) and exited out my arch. Just felt warm and num when it happened, but after it was very painful for about a week. Happened when I was a teenager.

Hit in the neck by a ricochet off of the plate rack at Harvard. I wasn't even on that range at the time. Bled like an open faucet.

Lawyers have to be bled every now and then... I was hit by a ricochet off a plate at Harvard as well. I was shooting though.
 
A 230 grain FMJ (.45 ACP) fired at a piece of ballistic plate glass came back
and hit me in the wrist. It stung like a bastard. At first the pain was
mild and I didnt notice it then it got a bit more intense, so I stopped
shooting. Felt like I had been stung badly by a bee. I moved my sleeve
up and a flattened 230 grain bullet fell out!

Basically, it left a slowly oozing, bloody circular bruise on my wrist, although I did resume
shooting that day, because it wasn't that painful after a couple of minutes.

I wish I had kept the bullet but it fell in the sand at the range and I could not find it.

The .45 ACP pockmarks is near the middle. I think the one low and to
the right of it might be a .45, too.

The ones that actually stuck into the glass were .40 S+W GDHPs.

"Kids, don't try this at home". Well, at least put it further downrange... or hide behind a barrier when shooting. [laugh]

No powder rounds, but after a long night of drinking I let my buddy shoot a volley of 6 gram airsoft BBs into my bare stomach. My guns shoots 425fps and a rate of about 15-18 BBs per second in full auto. Two seconds later I had about 30 small bleeding welts on my stomach and had to pop one out like a zit. Before anyone asks, I was still sober enough to put on eye goggles before he shot me but too drunk to remember how bad it hurt.

pellet rifle. point blank. had to dig that pellet out of my arm.

One of my buddies shot his brother with a potato gun. Potato gun had a one foot long by six inch diameter chamber for the hairspray, and a 4 foot by one and three quarter barrel. I'm sure that one hurt....

I've had a jacket fragment come back on an indoor range and embed in my cheek.

Other than that, I've had enough paintball welts for multiple lives. (^_^)

I've had that, and jacket fragments embedded in my forearm from standing next to somebody shooting a revolver.

I can't remember how many bb's I've been hit with, but we did play quite a bit of "redneck paintbal" growing up.
 
AK47, Mortar Shrapnel and land mine sharpnel. No matter what you get hit by, if your still breathing afterwards, the pains worth it.
 
Ditto was shooting into logs with a FN FAL some years ago and one must have hit something that it bounced off of as it came back and struck me in the left side of my head just above my ear.

I bled profusely and was taken to the hospital by a late good friend.
They had a look at it and sent me on my way.

I keep the shirt I was wearing to remember me to be more careful.

Steel plate on the Class 3 range at harvard. It was a ricochet from an AK (I wasn't firing). Not sure what yahoo decided a steel plate was a smart idea for rifle rounds but the plate has been there for some time and I confirmed that there is no restriction on what one can fire at it. Although now the plate is seriously angled whereas when it first went up, it was much closer to vertical and that is when I got hit. No puncture. I packed up and left. I would have been livid if I had to go to the hospital and risked Watertown pulling my license over a ricochet I didn't even cause. (All hospital visits for "gun shot" wounds are reported to local Oppies.)

I haven't shot plates yet... had no idea they could ricochet back (but I did wonder about it). Now I'm having second thoughts. What went wrong that'd cause this to happen (other than bad luck)? Can't they be designed so that all the angles would make the bullet continue on down the range?

I think I hit the plate too low so bullet went out, hit a wall, bullet fragment chipped off and came right back. Tiny little piece nicked my forehead.
 
Had the extreme displeasure of putting a 7.62 x 25 round through my fingers when the CZ 52 i was firing became a full auto when the firing pin broke. Blew a big chunk of flesh out of my index finger and broke my middle finger.I like to warn people about the cz 52 with its hole in the firing pin. Not only do the tips break off the sometimes but they also crack where the whole goes through the firing pin.
Was putting a fresh mag in dropped the slide and bang bang bang . OUCH [crying]
 
been shoot may times as a kid by some one on this board lets say his names is B***K[frown]





To name a few when we were younger; fireworks, BBs, Marble from sling shots

and my favorite a Dart from a dartboard!!1[crying]
