Ever been shot at?

[USAF Medic]

Vietnam Nam 1971. Out immunizeing children. Our helicopter took hits as we were leaving. Covered the family jewels
With my helmet....The other medic laughed his A** off!

We took 31 hits of ZUU-23 to our MH60K on a POI extraction, most went through the rotor disk but I took shrapnel in the legs and lower torso after a few of the rounds went through the belly tanks (under the floor) Most of us had some sort of shrapnel damage, but I caught the worst of it, spent 6 weeks on crutches! I took a round of 7.62X39 point blank square to the chest, Thank God for Body Armor! Being down range as long as I did it, almost insured I would get hit at some point! I can say I have been extremely lucky!

With all that said there is no possible way Stomper could be more ridiculously handsome than you!

I don't think any one can hold a candle to 'Ol Stomper and his smashing good looks!

 

[Stomper]

Smashing.... or smashed?

 

[giddyupgo55]

Does having shots flying over head during hunting count.

 

[Ura-Ki]

Smashing.... or smashed?

Depends on the camera angle and lighting

 

[giddyupgo55]

I wish. If I could of found out who was shooting we would of had a chat.

 

[Certaindeaf]

I get shot every day.
















With incredulous looks.
Take this post for example.

Thought it would be fun to have a bb gun war w/my sister until she shot me in the nuts. Took a few years before we got along again

My brother is 48 and still has a BB in his leg. Moving shot on a mini bike from 30 yards away. THAT is shooting!

 

[Member 5605]

Negative.

Not even with a BB gun.

 

[jordanvraptor]

Yes, but never hit. Its kind of exciting in a weird way...

 

[nammac]

Only once, 40 years ago with a BB gun...

Still have a knot behind my left ear from it...

only a few times - once for stopping on a dirt road in the middle of the night too close to some farmer's cows - my friend's old pickup caught some bird shot near the tail light. Another time I was hiking near hwy 50, hit the end of the trail and it was getting close to dark so thought we would go back along the river instead of up on the ridge. Saw a flashlight shining down from the ridge and they must have seen our light. shot was wide by at least 10 feet - think we must have gotten too close to someone's grow.

I lived & worked in Miami during the early 80's, so yes.

This reminds me of one time (quite a while back) members of my company were chosen to do some "Close Quarter Training" with a Marine unit in Yermo (Training my butt, it was us against them using simunitions, they had MP5's with about 5 mags each and we had M9's with only 1 mag each, sorry I'm getting sidetracked). Anyway, after one of our "engagements" we were all (Soldiers and Marines) standing around BSing and this one PFC from my company was just running his mouth non-stop and being generally annoying. His team leader had told him to tone it down a couple of times, but to no avail. Finally, the E-5 had had enough and with no warning, he pulled out the M9 (still loaded with the sim rounds) and shot this PFC point blank in the beanbag three times. Well now, I can tell you that didn't make the PFC quieter by any means, but it did make him follow his team leaders instructions better, after he started walking normally anyway.

I don't know how they are now days, but back then, those sim rounds didn't mark real well, but would leave good sized welts and really nice bruises.

Once. Desert Storm. I was in a Blackhawk and they were a long way out for their AK's. I was able to return fire with a Delta model M-60.

Edit: I was in an Aviation Btn. We didn't stay and fight with 'em. We un-assed the AO and radioed their position to the folks who's job it was to deal with that kind of thing. They were under white flag when we were approaching, we were going to drop MRE's and water to 'em when they opened up. bubblegums.
