Have you ever been shot?

[Rain Man]

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.

Shot to the heart and you're to blame.

My dad did that as a young man.

People always shoot for the moon, but I'm too busy aiming at stars.

Basically a buddy and I were getting high in his basement when he thought it would be a great idea to bring out his new rifle to show me. Long story short....it was behind him....he grabbed it and swung it past my head....it got to about 3-4 inches in front of my face and it went off. Instant buzzkill and to this day there are times where my left ear rings for no reason.

No. This was over 10 years ago. I left for the Air Force and 2 weeks later his house got raided. He's out now but he spent 8 years in lockup.

I took a ball bearing from a sling shot one time. It hurt, but very little blood was shed. Counter attack was very successful... total destruction.

When you put a fat blunt tip on one of those tent poles with the strings run through them it hurts like **** coming out of a crossbow. Absolutely no counter attack was mounted that day. Couldn't breath, bruised ribs, complete surrender.

Kid I went to high school with took a bullet in the shoulder/trap, but it had came through glass and bounced off the truck cab. He claimed it hurt like hell and burned like it was on fire. Generally speaking he's a big vagina, so assume he cried all the way to the hospital. Its been over a decade and I'm pretty sure he still milks the injury. I think he still has the part of the bullet they removed.

Local retard put a 22 bullet between his eyes and lived. I won't go near the crazy **** to ask him, but others have. He compared it to getting knocked out in a fight, waking up with a little blood on your face, and going to the hospital to get stitches.

That's good. The moment the gun went off would've ended any association with that guy for me.

I have never been shot but judging by the pained expression on the faces of the people I have shot... I would venture to say that it is quite excruciating. That said, people can/have/will continue moving forward after being shot but it depends on several factors such as the caliber of the round that hit them, where it hit them, and if they are drugged up in any way.

I've been "zing'd" above the armpit by a shot gun pellet pheasant hunting about 5 yrs ago. Stung a little bit and barely drew blood. And thats with all of my cold weather gear on etc.

It wasn't a bad wound to be honest, and I was lucky.

Were you in combat in some far away land, or in Oakland?

[loochy]

I played paintball.

Anybody on here from stl has probably been shot but won't talk about it.
