I saw the other thread about being hurt by your gun, but has anyone actually been shot? What was it like/ how did it happen?

I've been shot with rocksalt before.
It hurt like a mother%@!#&*, and bruised me severely, but didn't even break skin.

2 Rounds from a AK47 in the stomach. Felt like getting hit with a red hot hammer. The hospital ship Sanctuary was fun though.

Yes, and i dont recommend either of my experiances ( a .22lr from a colt woodsman to the forearm , and a .357 to the vest ) as fun weekend recreation. The best gunfight is the one your not invited to.

Yup three times with a high powered 22cal air rifle when I was 6 years old. Once in the leg, once in the stomach, and once in the mouth as I was walking down the street. It takes a cold-blooded mother----er to shoot a child. Then the prosecuter dropped the charges. Like I said, the justice system sucks.

I took a 22 LR round through the thick part of my left thigh when I was 12. Went clean through. The impact felt like a hammer blow.
It was an unusual, but instructive, accident. My dad, my older brother and I were shooting a .22 rolling block rifle in a little range we had set up in the basement of our house. The rifle was having some mechanical problems, and my dad was trying to clear it. I was between him and the light, and there was a cabinet behind me, so the only was I could move out of his way was to cross briefly in front of him. At that instant, my dad, who was not aware I was moving, closed the breech of the rifle; his pinkly finger brushed the trigger as he pushed the block home with his thumb, dropping the hammer. The round hit the hard tile floor and came up through my leg.
Lessons learned? Don't step in front of the firing line. Don't build a rifle range with a floor that is reflective to bullets. Don't forget that accidents happen in those weird little exceptional moments when the ordinary routine has been interrupted.
I still have that turn-of-the-century Remington rifle and I cherish it. It belonged to my sister, who would not give it up until she took up smoking as a teen, years later. I saw my chance and traded three cartons of cigarettes for it.

I was shot once while pheasant hunting. One of the kids in our group wasnt paying any attention as he pulled up on a rooster flying directly towards me. Luckily, I seen him and put my arm up to cover my face and hit the deck as he was shooting. I was wearing a coat and vest so most of them didnt hurt too bad. Its quite a humbling experience, especially when I could feel the pellets going by my head.

I was shot in the side of the knee with a rubber bullet from a 12 gauge. I was about 17, and friends with several of the local cops. We were standing out behind the police station talking when one of the guys tried to empty the weapon before turning it in at the end of shift. He thought he'd ejected everything so he closed the action and pulled the trigger. He had the muzzle pointed down, just not far enough down. The round knocked my leg out from under me so I fell down. The poor guy, he thought he'd shot me with a load of 00 shot. I wasn't able to walk for about three days, and I was bruised for more than two weeks, but no permanent damage was done. The officer was given a three-day suspension without pay, which I felt really bad about since he was a pretty good guy. The department also changed it's policy to require that shotgun actions be left open when the gun is turned in at the end of shift. Roger had ejected all the rounds he'd loaded at the beginning of the shift, but apparently the rubber round had been left in the gun by a previous user and he hadn't checked to make sure it was empty before loading it at the beginning of the shift.
My next door neighbor was shot with a .22 while hunting with his cousin. David said he heard the shot off in the distance, and felt something hit his arm, but it didn't hurt much and since he was pushing though heavy brush at the time he just thought he'd been slapped by a branch. A few minutes later his arm started to ache pretty badly, so he pulled off his coat to check, and that's when he saw the blood. His waterproof hunting jacket had kept any of the blood from soaking through to the outside. The bullet had hit him in the forearm about three inches below the elbow. It passed cleanly through, above the bones. He said his dad just bandaged him up and they kept on hunting. The next day his mom took him to the doctor for some antibiotics and a tetanus shot, just in case.
The other first person account I've been told was by a woman who worked at an indoor range here in Tampa. One night at closing three guys pushed their way into the building in an attempt to steal the rental guns. Fortunately, they'd already been locked in the safe. When she tried to flee one of the guys shot her with a .22 he'd been carrying. The bullet passed through her side just above the point of her left hip. She described it as feeling like a hot poker had been shoved through her. No serious damage was done and she was treated and released at the hospital.
Having been a paramedic for nearly 15 years I've seen a lot of gunshot victims and there doesn't seem to be any consistancy in the effects. I've seen a man shot nine times with a .22 mag who walked to the ambulance, and another shot once in the shoulder with a .22lr who died on the spot. Some little wounds bleed a lot, some big wounds bleed very little.

The first time by fragments from an RPG which ripped through my command track from end to end -- I was blown out the cargo hatch, fell down a steep hillside, and didn't know I was really hurt until I noticed I couldn't pull the pin on a grenade. Looking down at it as I tucked it into my chin and tried again, I saw the tip of my collar bone.
The second time may have been a fragment of a bullet or of something else -- the track was blown over on its side. Once again, I was not aware of any injury until someone noticed I was covered with blood.

Several times... :(
Once in the back with an AK47;
Once in both legs, just below the knee, with a .25 ACP pistol;
Once I was hit by a chunk of concrete in the right shin, about half-way down, blown off a wall by a .308 bullet (it hurt like an expletive deleted, but I guess it was better to be hit by the concrete than by the bullet!);
Mortar fragments in the left ankle;
Grenade fragments in the right ankle;
Knife wound in the back and left hand.
All from different encounters, over a period of several years, in another country.

Gotta tell this one!!! A pal of a good friend of mine and my buddy were out shooting their handguns several years ago, and as the day wore on the "competition" degenerated to shooting large rocks by the river bed with 44 Mags. Let the stupid human tricks begin. These were the large, round, smooth really hard rocks often seen by the river side. Anyway, after firing a round at a particularly large rock my pal's buddy doubled over and grabbed his private parts. It seems the ricochet had struck him you can guess where. The doctor checked him over at the local hospital and found bruising and swelling, but fortunately no major damage. To this day, he is known as Iron D**k, as his was strong enough to stop a 44 Mag. Honest to goodness, a true story.

1973. Alcohol involved. Was firing 405gr copper-jacketed .45-70's at an engine block on an abandoned derelict truck. Several rounds penetrated. One ricocheted back in pieces and lodged in my jaw and forehead. It was a Sunday morning. Deputy sheriff and half a dozen doctors got called at the hospital in Ukiah, California. At the time I was active duty military. The deputy cut me no slack and had me repeat several times that I was "the dumbest M.F. that he had ever met." I was very sincere in my admission. The doctors patched me up and gave me a wad of paperwork to take back to my command as they were all going to make their mortgage payments that month courtesy of Uncle Sam.
I turned the paperwork into an E-5 medic and that was the last I ever heard of it. That bullet I did dodge.
Eager to keep the secret, I went back two times to a friendly medic when the wound on my forehead festered up. The second time he cut me open he pulled about a 2mm piece of copper jacket from my skull and I have been fine ever since. I no longer drink.
Did it hurt? No, I was drunk. I did go into shock when I saw the lead embedded in my jaw. I thank God I survived my youth.

Once. When I was 13, another 13 year old decided to take up mugging. He took his grandmothers rusty 22 pistol and tried to hold me up. I laughed and he shot me in the lower left side. I was really angry and his pistol had jammed. I picked up a large branch and proceeded to show him the error of his ways.
I was lucky. The bullet barely went in. I popped it out and cleaned it up. I barely have a scar now.

I grew up on Long Island when it was nothing but potato fields and duck farms. I was walking home from (Private) school taking a shortcut where the Long Island Expressway was being built. I was ambushed by three older kids from another (Public) school who thought it would be funny to shoot me with a .20 air rifle and a .22 short.
The air rifle pellets left bloody welts on my buttocks and back and I caught one of the .22 shorts in the buttocks also. I ran the last mile to get home and my mom called the police. It seemed like every cop car in town showed up. The police had the boys within an hour. I ID' them at the police station I didn't find out what happened to them after that. Two of them moved away in a few weeks. I found the kid who shot me with the .22 when I was in high school after I heard him talking about it (He was right next to me at a football game. - Obviously, he didn't remember me.) I surprised him about a week later and beat him up really bad, then told him who I was and why he got the beat down. Never had another problem with him.

been shot in my shoulder and neck (same round deflected off of shoulder) with a .25acp... My brother was improperly handling a pistol when we were teens. The round lodged against my spine which was removed surgically, and my arm was paralyzed and I had a year of physical therapy. the round also pierced the main artery in my neck and I lost a lot of blood and went into shock...

when i was 18 years old, i got shot with a .22 short (subsonic) to the fatty part of the calf, through and through, little blood, felt like a hot poker through my leg...
The shooter was an idiot, trying to use a POTATOE and a subsonic round to make a "silenced" shot... (this actually DOES work, i was surprised) from a ruger MK2 pistol...
When the police arrived, they had to have a medic remove the muzzle of the gun from the idiots rectum... (my friend says i put it there, through his pants) I do not remember anything from the point of being shot until the police were asking why i decided to put the gun there... all i do remember is a kind of a red "fog", and alot of anger... i apparently also beat the guy up fairly badly...
no charges against me, since this genius SHOT me... but since then i have mellowed my temper a whole lot...

Boy, all this makes me feel fortunate. The worst I've ever been shot with was a spring pellet gun. Still chewed my friend(the shooter) out pretty badly. Left a bruise about 1" in diameter.
It's the closest I've ever come to shooting somebody. I was holding a CO2 pellet gun at the time, loaded. Yes, I did point it at him, though I'm glad today that I pointed it at his leg(where he shot me), rather than elsewhere.

Geez guys, you're making me cringe. I will review my safety rules, and be careful who I shoot with. Perhaps wearing a vest at the range isn't a bad idea. (All guns are always loaded, don't point them at anything you don't wish to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger til the sights are on the target and you are ready to fire, be sure of your target and what's beyond.)
I have a friend who shot himself with a 9mm hydrashok while sleep walking. He shot himself in the hand and lost his pinky out of it. It was really sobering for him, but he still is careless with guns. (he's pointed them at me numerous times and doesn't realize it...yeah) A cop friend of mine thinks it is perfectly okay to point guns at people in training. (he wanted to show me how he could make traffic stops with his red filter and blue nav. light on his AR. yes he pointed it at me....:uhoh: ...i didn't like it)
Seriously, glad you guys are okay. I hope that it doesn't ever happen to any of us. Thank you to those who served us in combat and were wounded!

This happened to my buddy, while I was there. After about a year of him not able to go shooting with us, he finally comes out. He is shooting an AK and the area had these steel posts filled with concrete that we were putting targets on. (Not the best idea) And a piece of the bullet ricochet right into the side of his nose. He pulled it out and it just bled a little but he went home anyway. Hasn't come out shooting again yet, but once he has time he's coming back out. :cool:

I've been shot at & had a gun to my head, on two seperate occassions but never actually been hit. I have on the other hand been stabbed, twice. Once by punka** mugger about 5 or so years ago & the other was a few months later while I was bouncing at a hip-hop night club. The second time felt like someone punched me, so until my shirt filled with blood (it was a black shirt & it had been a really bad fight so I thought it was someone elses blood) I didn't realize I had actually been stabbed. Now I have a job at an office with a desk..but I'm trying to get into law enforcement here in NC.
Hope I'm never shot though, alot more things can go wrong, besides while I was in nursing (college) we had to study case studies from gun shot wounds, stabbings, burns, you name it they showed it. A hollow point .45 is very messing to say the least.

Yup. 9mm Mak through my left hand. Didn't hurt at first, but when I was in the ambulance, it hurt so bad I kicked off my leg straps writhing in pain.
Not a pleasant experience. :scrutiny:

I was shot in the side of the knee with a rubber bullet from a 12 gauge. I was about 17, and friends with several of the local cops. We were standing out behind the police station talking when one of the guys tried to empty the weapon before turning it in at the end of shift. He thought he'd ejected everything so he closed the action and pulled the trigger.
Today the lawyers would have been lining up at your front door!
Would I have sued? Probably not.
I would have atleast demanded some kick ass part time job (for a seventeen year old) doing some kind of function administrative or otherwise with the department.

I am very glad to never have been shot. I was threatened with a gun when I was 12 or 13 while in my own front yard. Some older kids were walking in the direction of the "woods", the gun in one kid's belt "flashed". I said something to my friend (stupid) which the kids heard. The one with the gun took it out and threatened to shoot us (my friend tried to run so hard that he tripped himself, never seen anything like it, I tried to reason with the kids as I backed behind some cover), they eventually went on their way. My friend and I went into my parents' house pale as can be (quite a feat since my friend was black), my parents called the police, the police caught the kids and took their .22lr pistol away (it was the early '80s, today they likely would have had jail time).

I have a funny one to add to a serious subject. I hadn't thought of rebounds until someone else mentioned it. Here's the story:
I was shooting my new Ruger 45 LC at a at a target stapeled to a woodpile. All at once I found myself on the ground breathless. I grasped my chest area and felt nothing but wetness. I thought I had shot myself in the heart. Upong looking at my hand I didn't see blood but a lighter colored liquid. What had happened was somehow a 255 grain slug had bounced directly back (about 15 yards) and hit me right in the chest. I had put on a pair of bib overalls that had a flask full of Drambue in the chest pocket. The slug had hit the flask with enough force to pop the top and bottom out of the flask. The flask was ruined, and that was the last time I used oak logs as a barrier to shoot into.:)

many years ago a good friend of mine was playing with one of those high-powered CO2 22 calbre pellet guns and pointed it directly at my eye.
I said.. hey.. don't do that it might go off! and just as I raised my hand to cover my eye I heard a POP :what: and felt something hit my hand, There was a neat round red hole in my palm. X-rays showed that it would have gone through my hand but for being stopped by a bone. Surgeon removed it. No doubt I would have lost the eye. Shot didn't hurt too badly....
Got hit by a 22 in the leg... no pain whatsoever... until they started digging for the bullet.

12 guage to the lower leg. Was grouse hunting with a friend and we got split up. All of a sudden BANG fron the other side of the bush I was beside. Felt like being hit with a sledge hammer. We were 16 and told the cops at the hospital he was shooting at a mouse with a bb gun. Dont know if he believed it but he just shook his head and left.
He also shot me in the arm with a high power self modified 22 pelet rifle , went through 3 winter coats (we were fairly north), still have a scar , the wife wouldent let me visit him any more after that.:rolleyes:
