This ugly image is my wrist with a nasty burn blister after a hot 22 shell landed on it. "How can this happen?", you might ask. I believe it was from a "magic bullet". When I fired my M&P 15-22, the shell casing ejected from the right, bounced off the brim of my hat, took a left turn downward, and landed under the wristwatch band on my left wrist. There it stayed lodged until I finished my 25 round magazine and realized something was burning. :eek:

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a pic. So, for me, pics or it didn't happen..

With or without the mythical M&P 10-22 and magic brass...

Just changed the picture link to a photobucket site. Hope that works.
 
I try to 'keep my cool'......

...if a hot case lands on me because I don't want to be like the guy that shot a couple of people because a case landed down his back. But there's always that one time. I think I"d been shooting pretty hard for a while and the chamber must've heated up the case. It had my attention for a little while.

Always keep other shooters on your right. I had one get in the sweatshirt hood and burned my neck , it looked like a big hickey.
 
Note, this is one reason why I use a Caldwell brass catcher. Spend the extra money and get one that uses a picatinny rail mount. You can purchase extra mounts so that the catcher can easily move between hosts:

If word of this gets around I can visualize some AR15 manufacturer will add a case cooler to their
line of products.
Rampo you might want to contact them so they have your name and address for your up coming
royalties check, after all if it wasn't for you who would have thought it.

I've had shells bounce off the screen and magically land between my cheek and eye pro. .22lr seems to eject more erratically than other calibers.

Yep had that too when shooting very close to a wall and in the middle of a comp stage so couldn't even stop to get it out, great fun(!):eek:

Yeah, I've had hot brass fly out of my six-shooters and...nope, didn't happen...guess I was having a flashback moment....:D Seriously, even with goggles and decent clothes coverage, ya never know when your next door range guy has hot brass headed your way...I try to shoot stationed to the left of other shooters.
