Ever had a casing go down your shirt?

[Shellshocker66]

OK so wondering if any of you gals would like to share your stories of where a hot casing has gone into your clothes?

Personally I made the mistake once of having one button too many open at the top and had one go right into my bra. Nothing like having a bunch of people laughing at your expense!

Yeah, but it's never been that big a deal -- either the brass wasn't "that hot" or it got caught somewhere it wasn't pressing too firmly against bare skin.

It annoys me more when I get hit in the face with them, especially if I'm trying to shoot at the time

Haven't had one make it into my bra, but I did have one go into my tank top. Just lucky I was wearing a bra that day I guess!

It's the best kind of hickey! just kidding.

One of the memorable moments was when I was shooting one of the casings went down the back of my top. It was hot but I couldn't reach it and one of the guys tried to help me (forgot which calgunner it was) but then hesitated and we both laughed because it would have been awkward if he reached in to get it there.

I was shooting with a friend out in the desert last month. He was shooting his Beretta Neos 22, and I my Sig Mosquito. Well, one of his rounds landed right on the top edge of my tee shirt, center chest. Ouch. I had a half full mag so decided to finish shooting it, make it safe, then get the brass off me. Well, the area is still kinda red- got a real burn that even bled at one point. Lots of vitamin E and aloe to minimize the scar. At the time I thought, in an emergency, I won't be able to stop for a scratch-I'll have to suck it up and shoot, so I did.

I collect milsurps, and have a Swede rolling block from the 1860s that was rebarreled in 8mm Danish in the 1880s. Took me a year to get the brass to reload and shoot it. Well, at the range, I opened the action and the brass popped out hotter than hell, and rolled off the bench. Instinctively I closed my legs to catch it-it was summer and I was wearing shorts. OOPS. I got the brass, but it left a burn which is now a scar in the shape of half a round on each leg. You can't tell it's a round unless I put my legs together.

The very reason I'm one big freckle

My wife and I were shooting at an indoor range and this happened to her. She went to the counter and asked if they had burn cream. The guy at the counter says he is ambulance or EMT (can't remember) and he can check it for her. She says the spot is a little too personal for that. In his defense, he had no idea where she was burned when he offered. He got really embarrassed and asked a female range employee to accompany my wife to the bathroom. Luckily, it was only a minor burn.
My wife HATES semi-autos to this day. She is happy shooting our Ruger revolvers. I am still trying to get her to try out my Dan Wesson PM7. I even offered to buy her a Turtleneck...

I let a girl fire my recently sold desert eagle .50 and on those the brass ejects stright up....so for her it went stright up and down her opened top and burned the #### out of her......though she did have a smile and was happy to be able to shoot it

When my son was 4 I was holding him letting him shoot my 10/22. After a couple shots he starts screaming and crying and grabbing his chest. Im kind of freaked out I throw the gun down and pull his shirt up thinking it was a ricochet. But it was a 22 casing and burnt the perfect outline of a 22 long rifle casing on his chest.

LOL Ha! When doing my law enforcement qualification, I was taught that, if you're shooting to qualify, don't worry about any hot brass unless it lands in your eye or something. To reach down and pick a casing out of your belt or sock or something could disqualify you if you move from the line.

Last month, we had a San Diego CalGuns shoot. I was shooting someone's .40 when the brass went up and then down the back of my shirt. The brass rolled down, got caught on my bra strap and came to a rest there, burning into my back. I didn't even flinch and finished my mag.

Afterwards, I shook it out and commented to the guys next me about what happened. They were quite surprised I didn't stop to shake it out as soon as it occured!

PS - Yes, I had a nice little burn in the center of my back!

I have had one go down my top tried to pull the shirt out to get it out and the damn thing slid in to the waistband of my pants. I was so NOT a happy camper. My other half thought it was funny UNTIL he got one on his neck then he was all sorry honey I should have never laughed.

I was hunting nude one summer and a shell landed inside my urethra. It was crazy.

[hefedehefe]

yeah i even had them go into my shoes ouch!!!

[socalphoto]

Happened to my wife the first time I took her to the range. Her first shot, the casing went down the front of her top. I was so worried she would hate shooting forever but it didn't really bother her. She kept the gun pointed down range while she yelled and leaned forward lol. I was so proud
