Accidental firearms injuries

Just bought new gloves. Wasn't used to them. Took aim on a doe. Was steadying my aim, waiting for perfect shot. Muzzleloader went off prematurely. Scope came up and caught me in the forehead. Lung shot. Got her, but also felt foolish with blood all down in my eyes.

"3,5h on watch and it's getting chilly" My bad.. 2,5h on watch

Dude... I hope you have apologyse that.

I was in säkylä too. 2/2002

Had a .22LR round go off while still in the chamber with the bolt pulled back about 7 inches from my face recently thank god I was wearing my shooting glasses cuz it really peppered my face with brass (blew the primer out so the round looked like a straight tube)

It had like 3 failures at once;
Failure to Fire
Delayed ignition
Failure to extract

I took all safety precautions including pointing it down range for an extended period of time after the round didn’t go off.

4th round in magazine, pull trigger to fire, round doesn’t fire, take magazine out and stand there for about 30 seconds, Pulled charging handle to extract and the round didn’t come out so I pulled the trigger again, didn’t fire so I waited another 30 seconds, repeated this 3 more times which probably is what caused the back of the primer to blow out in the first place, I look in chamber to confirm there is a round in there, close chamber, put rifle between the inner part of my elbow and pull charging handle back with you thumb while looking into chamber and grabbing my knife, BAM EEEEEEEEEEE round went off right in my face loud as fuck

Never had a problem with the gun before

TLDR: nigger Jew

Do u mean blew the rim out?

One time I was shooting a Mossberg 590, my earpro was touching or near the stock. The recoil moved the earpro which moved my glasses and it cut my ear.

>shooting wasr with buddy
>be an idiot and start pretending my wasr is a handgun
>hold wasr lightly in my hands using teacup grip in a wide low square detective stance and shoot with the buttstock right in front of mouth
>recoil.gif
>busted the fucking shit out of my lip
I still have no idea how that even happened, I had put thousands of rounds through it and new the recoil impulse by heart.
All the planets aligned for that one I guess, though I was limp wristing it like an idiot.

A dude I know sent me a pic of his dick caught in an AR magazine well, his head was stuck between the bolt face and the chamber.

A brass got stuck between my glasses and my eye brow. It hurt

I have a fully automatic BB gun with a stock that gets stuck. I was trying to collapse it and as I struggled with it (because it gets stuck) and I collapsed it onto some of my belly fat and it really hurt.

I'm not even that fat btw. I literally just have a very small beer belly.

This is the result of my friend accidently shooting himself.

this is how I know you’re lying.

That's unfortunate.

It was right in my face, face was literally 7 inches from the bolt that was being held open with my thumb you nigger of course it would be loud

Kill yourself you know what I’m talking about, blew the back out of it so the round was just a straight tube

I did the same thing with a .22 LR in a vice when I was a young teenager. Fingers were peppered with metal flakes and bleeding everywhere. Ears were half deaf. Was downstairs in gramp's basement.

post your guns you fucking youngling. .22 is loud as balls if it's right next to your face and you're not wearing earpro. Especially if it blew with the chamber open and had nowhere to funnel the gas.
