Been shot?

[overthepond]

Has anyone here ever been shot (with a proper bullet, not paintballs or anything)?

A few days later does it bruise in the area around the wound? It seems it would bruise like a bitch but you never hear anything about that....

 

[QuestionGuy]

i gues you have been "shot".....i dont think you will find many people who have been shot man, well becasue most of them have died.....geting shot is nothing to brag about..

 

[overthepond]

I've never been shot but I was watching a movie, the guy gets shot in the arm. But you never hear about what its like after to get shot and was just curious.

Perhaps someone in the medical field would know the answer to this?

I'm thinking a big ass hole in your flesh would take priority over a bit of bruising.

 

[Mudge]

Bruising is internal bleeding, why would it take days for a bullet wound to do that?

Anybody that wants to learn a little more about bullet wounds... but I suggest you dont go if you have a weak stomach. More on following pages as well.

How about a shot meaning a needle?

I have been shot at. Many of Ragheads tried to put an end to me. But they had no such luck. A Marine with a rifle is the most deadly weapon in the world!

Heres another one... same disclaimer applies from above.

Notice patterns caused by range, and as far as you question on bruising, it would seem that bruising occurs minimally when death immediately follows injury. Looking at the injuries that were not immediately fatal, there does seem to be a good deal more discoloration from brusing.

This site is more graphic than the first, please dont go here if corpses bother you.

People have been shot before without bleeding, because it's possible for smaller rounds to actually pinch off any arteries or veins they may have severed, and the patients didn't know they were wounded until they went to the doctor. Remember that construction worker a few months ago? The guy stepped on a nailgun, shot a 6" nail through the roof of his mouth and into the base of his brain, and didn't even know it until he went to the dentist complaining of severe tooth pain. The dentist did an x-ray and found the nail.

Yeh, what was the case a long time ago where the dude fired a steel rod up into his brain? He eventually went insane, but it didnt kill him.

Hrmm, cant seem to recall his name. Phinius Gage?

 

[Fade]

Did someone say shot???

Chilled Patron anyone?

 

[Eggs]

Hrmmm, how about we all meet up in Mazatlan and do shots of Jose?

Its getting nice out.. but I need sun, and access to cheap liquer, and preferably a nice hot beach to pass out on.

yup, that was him.

I'd disagree and say a bomber pilot with a nuke

We used to play war games with BB guns so I've been shot dozens of times and some of them bruised. BB's are a proper bullet, like an air musket.

 

[sportytahoe]

When I was a child we used to run around the woods shooting one another with BB guns....until one kid lost an eye...then that game was over...

Jeez, I thought I only had psycho friends that did that. One particularly noxious motherfucker of a friend took a headshot on an opponent. I had to squeeze the BB out of his forehead like a zit. Very messy.

We used those wrap around goggles like basketball players wear and you weren't allowed to shoot anyone above the chest within 10 feet. We had a whole combined arsenal of rifles and handguns everyone wore camo and we'd set up snipers and recon the whole works, with 12 kids on the block it was alot of fun. We'd capture and bind and gag prisoners, we found this was more fun and safer than shooting each other with bottle rockets.

 

[Decker]

We had the same rules and gear--goggles and only up to 2 pumps on the air gun. We'd play in the woods and ravines lining lake michigan. Gave it that guerilla feel. What the hell were we thinking?

 

[ALBOB]

What the hell were we thinking?

We were thinking we were having a damn good time. We used to wear football helmets over the goggles. Even if the rules say you're not supposed to take head shots, accidents happen. A friend of mine took one right across his chin. It split him open for about two inches and bled like a freakin' river. Damn those were good times.

 

[maniclion]

We played in the Bayou behind our houses in Houston, we used sewer tunnels, dug fox holes, ran between houses, set up tree stands. My friend Rick was so into snipers he knew all the cool camo tricks, we would spend all of Saturday setting up traps and stuff, getting our camo together and then play all day Sunday.
I got popped on the lip once and it swelled up so I cut it, I wish I could go back to those days.

hahaahaa

Thanks for setting me straight Albob. I do remember the fun now. War games (or 'maneuvers' as the truly dedicated called it) at night was really something to behold. A friend of mine took one in the lip leaving a nasty wound. He told his parents that his girlfriend's parrot bit him and they bought it.

 

[maniclion]

My father did the same thing when he was a kid, he was the one who bought us the goggles and the endless supply of bb's, but my friend Jakes Mom was a bitch so he had to tell her they were wasp stings. My dad used to take us to the Army Surplus store and we'd get all of the useless gear like canteens and the flashlight with the red lens, it came in handy though for signalling to someone 100 feet up a storm drain to make sure they were your team.

Oh, thats about like saying a chicken is a proper ostrich

Regardless, I played a bit too with my brother. Stopped after I got a scare with shooting him between the eyes. Was always a better shot But he was always bigger, so he chased me around the woods for a couple hours trying to butt stroke me

Your brother was trying to stroke your ass? So, you're related to John H., eh?

What the fuck is going on around here?!?!? What's with all this talk about Eggs' ass??? Why don't you two go get a room? I'm sure John H. would be happy to give you some fisting lessons.

 

[Decker]

What the hell happened to this thread.....I'm away for a few minutes and BB gunplay turns into fisting?

Did Mommy let you out of the basement again? You know Daddy is going to whoop your ass if he finds you out with the normal people.
