I went pheasant hunting with Dick Cheney once...
In all seriousness I got peppered pretty good while dove hunting. Dumbasses, it's only a dove.
This is what the .45 ACP can do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC3IGts3Dyk
I had some idiot next to me at firing line fire off "accidentally" and hit my target mount while it was pulled all the way back in. The ricochet hit me right between the eyes hard enough to make me see stars, knocked my glasses off and bled pretty good. After chewing his ass, I went into the store and told them what had happened, and there was ZERO concern. They wouldn't even go talk to the guys. I grabbed my shit and left, will never go back into that place.
Took a 7.62 to the upper left chest....
Round impacted on the corner of my plate where the angled cut is, got destroyed mostly on the plate, but sent numerous chunks of shrap into my shoulder, pulled most of it out with a gerber multi-tool...tossed some dressing over it, took care of it when I got back to the FOB.
The impact in the plate hurt more than the shrapnel getting shot into my shoulder...
Had a bruise encompassing my left shoulder down to 3" under the nipple line in a big yellow/black/blue circle...
Shit hurt.
Never had a penetrating gun shot though...I consider myself fortunate. That was the only time I've been hit in my military career and I'm thankful it wasn't a 7.62x51 or 54, might've gone right through and that may've been it for me :P
