My friends and I went shooting on Saturday. We set up targets a ways out and were doing some long range shooting. I decide to see if I can hit any of these targets with my S&W 681 revolver. After missing a few times, I think "well I saw a guy in a movie rest his revolver on his arm for a long range shot." I then procedd to bend my left arm and place the revolver barrel at the elbow where my arm is bent. If you can imagine my arm was at an agnle like this ^ and the revolver barrel placed at the tip.
I then pull the trigger and experience instant pain. Not only from the concussion that hits my face from being so close, but also on my arm. I look at my arm and there are two wholes in my sweatshirt. One hole on the upper part and one large hole on the botoom half. I pull up the sweatshirt and I am bleeding bad. Siince my upper and lower arm where next to the cylinder, the gases blew/burned out and through my sweatshirt and then burned me. Now I have a deep burn on my left forearm. Here are the pictures
