Yep. Caught one between the side of my safety glasses and my cheek once. Left a nice mark.

THAT is the reason I guessed the brass was ejected from a lever action or semi-auto.

Yeah, it’s only takes a second or two for a brass case to transfer a lot of it’s heat to the cylinder in a revolver. Sure, it comes out warm, but not blistering hot like out of a semi-auto rifle. Those cases get ejected far too fast to transfer heat, so they come out much hotter.

Maybe 6-8 months ago I took my 16 year old cousin shooting the AR. I was standing next to him at the bench and a piece of hot 223 brass landed on my arm and left perfect 223 case mark scar on my arm

Years ago I was taking a shooting class, and two of the students were middled-aged women. Both women were dressed in loose open type poly clothing, with one wearing a blouse with an open neck line, showing a tiny bit of cleavage.

During one string of fire I heard a small wince and the two women were laughing because a spent shell had hit her in this area and left a slight burn mark.


My sister and I were shooting at a public outdoor range some years back. It was hot outside, she was wearing a tank top. A piece of either 22lr or 9mm hot brass lodged itself between her tits ... I ain't ever in my life seen someone jump around like that. I thought she was having some kind of seizure or something.

Once I found out what the hell she was jumping around about, I kinda felt bad, but not bad enough to keep little brother from laughing his ass off at her unfortunate situation.
