One very long and very cold morning rabbit hunting, I pulled the mag out from my ruger 10/22 as I was unloading it so we could walk home. I dropped the magazine on a rock and a round went off, me and my buddy said what are the chances of that happening. We walked home, about 1/2 mile we each went home to warm up.
As I got home mom said you better take a hot shower after being out all morning to warm up.
Side note a few years before I had a bad bike accident, one Injury was a 12" gash to the bone in my left leg. Even now I have very little feeling in that area just above my kneecap .
So I'm in the bathroom getting undressed, right boot off no problem left about 2" full of blood. Kinda freaked out were it was coming from, I had black jeans on so the blood was not seen on the pants. Pull them down and see a small hole just above my knee on the right side. The bullet was about a inch under the skin.
I had thought it was brass, but it was the bullet. A few more inches and that could have hit the boys from that angle of not my artery. I couldn't believe I felt nothing, I figured since I have little feeling there and my legs were cold is why I felt nothing.
Thankfully no, but been shot at a few times as a LEO. I’ve seen a few of my brothers shot and don’t recommend it.
My only guess is the way the ruger mag holds the round it was able to build some pressure to get the bullet moving. I'd think it was only going a few hundred fps when it hit me. We never found the brass case so it probably blew apart.How can that happen when many tests prove that a bullet will not leave a cartridge with enough energy to pierce common cardboard?

A few of my fellow combat vets also Contacted me and think it is in bad taste.
I'm not dragging up my bad memories for your amusement.
I have shot many loaded rounds of ammo in a game we used to play, where we took a scoped rifle, in 22 short, and shot the primer out of loaded ammo from 15 yards or so.... yea, we were stupid, but had safety stuff on. The purpose was to prove that point you make. I have seen numerous times, and the bullet tends to stay within a few inches of where it started. Brass not so much.How can that happen when many tests prove that a bullet will not leave a cartridge as you describe with enough energy to pierce common cardboard?

We’ve all got bad memories. I didn’t take offense to the post. People are curious by nature. I didn’t feel like this post was focused on combat wounded veterans. Lots of people get shot outside of military and police service, mostly by accident.I'm quite disturbed by this thread.

This sub forum isn't my area so I defer to the resident mod, but somebody should be ashamed of himself.
