Have you ever been shot?
The thread about the Minnesota guy makes me curious.
In the movies, we see guys take multiple shots and they're still limping around returning fire, and in the next scene they're fine again. In real life, I know one guy who shot himself in the foot while climbing a fence, and he said that it really, really hurt and he expressed skepticism about the movie people limping around returning fire. However, he wasn't in a fight for his life, so it's possible that his adrenaline wasn't running on overdrive. So has anyone here been shot? And how did you feel in the first five minutes? First five hours? Next day? I recognize that the outcome may be different if you're shot in different parts of the body, so please note the location of the gunshot if you have a story to tell. Caliber too, if known. I made the poll multiple choice for those of you who have been shot multiple times. For the record, I got shot by an arrow once, but it just grazed me. Other than a scrape, I had no problem and could have easily mounted a counterattack had I chosen to do so. |

Yep, my brother shot me in the back with an air rifle in 1981. Spent the first three days of summer vacation in the hospital, and I still have the BB embedded in my lung.
As far as how it felt, it was like an extremely bad stomach cramp. |
Where's the option for Yes, but if I tell anyone I'll be screwing up my witness protection deal?

knew a guy in school that shot himself in the back of his leg trying to quick-draw w/a .22 pistol.
few months after that, he ruptured a nut trying to hurdle over a chair. he said the nut hurt worse than the bullet. sec |

I almost got shot in the head. It was ****ing close. I'm going to assume that it would have hurt.

if the option of shooting yourself in the head stays at 0 then I'd say that is the winner

Yes, right above the hip bone/lower right abdomen; clean through and through. Red-hot-zinger that didn't hurt right away and I kept shooting for a couple seconds before looking down to see why it hurt. I felt a thwack first, then a few seconds later the burning. It wasn't a bad wound to be honest, and I was lucky.
