So went to the range the other day with the Fiance... and I took a projectile to the ear....
Was out at the 100 yard target stand swapping out targets. Turned to head back to the shooting benches, took about two steps and caught a flying projectile from the next range over in the ear. It flew up and over the 15 foot berm. No idea what it was but it was coming fast enough to drop me to my knees from the pain. Ear bled a bit and it swelled right up and took two days for the hearing to come back.
Cut our range trip short. But before this happened I decided to try the M40A1 after it's winter slumber to make sure it was still sighted in. Picked up a couple "hostage" targets from the local gunshot for something different.
