Do you think getting shot hurts?

Back in the day, when I used to run Covert Ops for the London Underground, I was frequently shot at by passing Bulgarian snipers. Due to their lack of training, they generally missed, however I once received a .50 round, square in the middle of my forehead. Luckily, it missed my brain by about 3 feet, so I survived to fight another day. It hurt like a bugger, though. I couldn't see straight for weeks.

Or am I just a big wuss?

No, you are a Brit so you would be a nancy.

I eat .50 caliber slugs with my post toasties and fire them into my ear for fun.

If the bullet goes in one ear and out the other it doesn't hurt a bit.

But no I'm thinking you're not a wuss big or otherwise.

That's right. That is why I have to make sure all is clear on the other side so I don't hit something important.

I was patching up a fella' who'd taken an AK-47 round in the leg. He said it felt like he'd been hit in the leg with a baseball bat swung by Babe Ruth.

Getting hit in the vest without the trauma plate by a .357 is akin to getting hit with a major league fastball at 95-100mph.

You're darn right it hurts.

Imagine it without the vest....
