Nothing worse than a recently graduated recruit at their first qual shoot "catching" a 9mm case. That gun muzzle points in some very interesting (NOT) directions.
Last time I qualified I had two 9mm cases from the shooter to my left go down the back of my shirt, which was a uniform tee with a very small collar under a ballistic overvest. The R/O saw the second and was surprised I still carried on shooting the Glock string. It stung for a few days but I've had worse.
Like the time i was R/O on a match and the shooter hit a galvanised steel pipe wall frame only a few yards in front of him. The projectile came right back at me and took the skin off my wrist holding the timer.
