Ouch!

my late father shot IPSC in the late 1970's with a woman that had a "butterfly" burn from her 45ACP 1911 in a "not forum appropriate" place... it was both horrific and fascinating to a 13 year old boy... thanks for bringing back a fond memory...lol

Having a hot case go down the front of a shirt is a not-uncommon occurance at my range on both men and women.
 
Retire welder here and while shooting I have had a lot of cases go in places they do not belong. To me its no big deal about a 1-2 of a up to ten scale.

Get some seriously hot slag inside your clothes/ boots or better yet listen to it sizzle in your ear canal and little things like hot brass will not bother you at all.:)

Used to weld farm fencing here in Texas in the summer heat, and what is said above is true except the most fun is when you touch the metal button on your blue jeans to the metal post your bracing as the stick welder hits it. :eek:

Now the 300 Black out brass that went down the back of my jacket definitely got my attention.

Yep - I have frequently had some spent brass land just inside my collar at the range. First time it happened, I think I created a few new words. :)

I WAS that gunner for a short while. My issue weapon was a GPMG, American term is the MAG I think.

Beast of a thing to carry, gives ya wood when ya choot it though.
