I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.  I carry a lot of ammo because I cant run very fast.

  Um... it's an inside joke.  Some forum member here emptied an Airsoft gun on me today during a training session for no good reason at all. 

I think he's just mean. :)

Gotta love gas-powered AirSoft guns for force-on-force training---right up until you get shot with them.  After that, people start thinking "You know, we could use water guns instead...maybe just point a finger and yell BANG a couple of times..."

I'll note this photo doesn't do justice as to how much it must have hurt to get shot like that. 

...and just think, you PAID to get shot like that!  :)

Looks like it didn't have the FBI recommended 12" penetration.  Needs more power.

That's what my wife keeps telling me!  :)  I walked in the house last night, dropped off my baggage in the kitchen and walked past her in the living room w/o pointing out anything.  She immediately noticed my arm. 

All in all though, it actually looks worse that it is.  It stung pretty good when it happened naturally, but today, they serve as reminders that I don't want to get in a fight unless I absolutely have to.

As fast as Chris unloaded that propane powered Glock-o-matic meat tenderizer on me, I'm surprised the room didn't explode.  :)

It's from my Nigel Tufnel collection.

Lets see here...... I stuck a gun in your face..... Demanded your money..... And then you try to take my lovely Glock away from me........ Let me get to much distance..... And then tried to pull a 1911 on me  :-)

I was left with no other option!


Now, I got shot for no good reason..... Since my bad guy shot me AFTER I had already took him out! My welts were under the shirt though, so they are near as ugly as those!!!!

What hurts the most is my huge bruise left from the Glock 30 slide ramming into my chest over and over   :-)

You had two hands on your Glock you loved it so much.  Once I failed to get control of your arm, I knew I was going to become a bullet sponge. 

That's okay.  This isn't over.  Not quite yet.  :)

It was a good training experience regardless.

Well, SOME of us tried to get you to put the gun in the right #2 spot, but NO, you had to do it your own way...  :)

P.S. Chris, by my math you shot at me 19 times.  Sunday morning I counted only 11 hits, so I guess I got the better of you after all.  :)

Sorry, but you were scaring me.  And you didn't say "Bang".  At least I don't think you did. ;D

Besides...I was pretending to be a meth head and didn't feel your shot.

I can attest that the posted picture does not do his wounds justice.  There were two on that forearm that looked like a pellet entry and exit wound.

....but that shouldn't make you too scared to take the class.  Ahem.

Unfortunately the wounds are healing up nicely so it doesn't appear I'll get any cool scars out of the deal.   :(

Absolutely NOT.  Pain, blood, and humiliation should not discourage anyone from taking the class.   ;D

Seriously though.  The pellet hits were not bad at all.  It definitely makes for good photos and stories though.
