"Am I bleeding?"

I've heard people say that after saying "Here, hold my beer, watch this s**t."

"I'm not doing that anymore".

Some people let their little kids shoot those weapons. Based on this is that a good idea? Fun for the whole family?

It wasn't the 50 cal bullet it was the "IRON" round disc that he shot.

6-27-07: BOOM HEADSHOT! This is amazing. Willie, the father of Tina, who made the sandbag rests fires a .50BMG, an Armalite AR-50 and it ricochets off of a steel plate that it should have easily penetrated. The bullet comes straight back and hits him in the head. You can see it hit the dirt about 15 feet in front on him before it clobbers him. Luckily he was uninjured. He's a bit sore today, but otherwise fine. Lucky lucky bastard. He has been advised to buy lottery tickets while he still has so much luck. I don't know about the timing, but you can hear the hit on the steel plate. Time that till the impact on Willie's head... how fast is that 750 grain slug traveling? The range is 100 yards. Amazing.

Just sayin'.

I've shot myself to the forehead once with a .22 straight on.

I shot a large block of aluminium or something at a dumpster. Turns out it was a bad idea. The bullet ricocheted straight back popping me between the eyes.

I couldn't understand what happened untill I saw the completely flattened bullet on the ground. I was lucky it hit between instead of to the eyes.

If someone wonders why we were shooting at the dumpster it's because it was an old factory dumpster filled with discarded appliances from the factory. Porceline toilet seats, sinks, lamps etc. They are fun to smash.
