Anyone ever shot themselves or got shot with a bb or pellet?

#1 Post by Drozdman »

Hi all,

When my cousin was about 11 years old he was spinning a bb revolver around on his finger, then stopped, and thought he pointed the gun forwards - but shot himself in the foot! It went right through his shoe and embedded underneath his toenail.

It hurt like hell, but he didn't want to tell his parents because he was afraid they would take the gun away from him. He was limping around the house, and looked miserable so his parents eventually dragged him into the hospital. He still didn't mention anything about a bb even once he got there, so they gave him an xray. They discovered the bb and removed it. I think he did get the gun taken away.

Anyone else have any stories? :)

I shotmyself with a Daisy Red Ryder, on purpose.

I was considering using it to scare cats away from our bird feeders...
wanted to know exactly how much hurt i would be dishing out...
so after noting that it didn't penetrate denim, i shot myself in the leg...

It felt like a wasp sting for a few seconds but faded fast. :lol:

When I was littler, I used to shoot things at 3-7 feet with my 781, and the BBs always bounced off and hit me. Face, neck, arms... you name it, a BB hit me there. And once me, my brother and my cousin were shooting at stuff with our BB guns, and my cousin hid somewhere, so my brother and I looked around for him but then gave up. All of a sudden, my cousin jumps out from behind a tree, yells "COPPER TO THE BUTT!!!", and shoots my brother in the butt with his 760 and a copperhead BB. He said it hurt quite a bit :lol: .

Hey, don't hate. It releases negative energy, which is bad for everyone.
