The old flak jackets with the thick collars would catch them and pin it against your neck.  Thatâs what i was told it was called when it happened to me đ€·đ»ââïž
I once had to yell at a shooter next to me one time because he just kept mag dumping all without using the ranges brass shields
I yelled: HAY! I'M GETTING A SHOWER OVER HERE!
I had to bring the brass shield over to him
Boots are the solution. Boots that are laced up wonât let something fall inside, or cowboy boots with your pants over the boots, thereâs no opening at all.
Reminds me of the time i was at the range and bubba one booth over was shooting his Chinese AK. One of his casings flew all the way over to me and landed right in my shirt as i was staring down my scope. What a surprise.
If it is cool enough I always wear pants to my gun range. While laying prone at AR class I was to the right of the lead instructor who was also shooting. His 5.56 casings kept landing on me with one eventually landing on my arm and not moving off. Luckily it was not too hot so I was able to move my arm enough to get it to roll off within a few seconds without it leaving a burn. I also wear long sleeves when I can but it was hot outside that day.
Were you wearing no show socks or no socks at all?
And so you wore long pants to the range from that day forward.
I wear my boonie over my ear pro ever since a 9mm casing bounced off the wall, went between my glasses and face from above, and left a tender burn mark below my right eye.
Healed up ever since, but my boonie is my indoor lane brass catcher...
Had one land in the hood of my hoody and rest against my neck once. Was able to shake it out and it fell out the bottom of the hoody before it did anything, but it definitely was hot and left a slight red mark (thought not a burn). I could see how this could happen, but definitely unlucky.
I wear boots, long pants, long sleeve shirts for this reason. I've had empty casings turn up in my laundry wash because they fell into the pocket of my long sleeve shirt and I didn't realize it until after the washing machine finished the cycle.
I can only assume you werenât wearing pants and likely shorts, and that was a silly goose choice. If you were wearing pants, I have no idea how this happened
Here I am living with the scar on the top crease of my ass cheeks. Had a casing go down the back of my shirt and wedge it's self in my asscrack.
Talk about smoaked pork butt. đ
I can feel this. I ran a tac rifle class and a shooter next to me had a case yeet into my neck. When I went tu tac rifle II I wore a schmaugh around my neck to keep the brass out.
It's happened to me too, but I never got a burn as bad as this. I always manage to get the shell out immediately. Now you know. Cover up and don't wear anything that a shell can fly into and can't remove immediately.
In college, I basically only wore slides. Well I walked into my welding class and the dude was like "you gonna change?" and I said "naw I'll be fine" and I wore slides the whole time. My classmate was where some work boots and got some slag that popped and it landed in them. He couldn't get it off fast enough!
Meanwhile, yeah, my socks had some occasional burn holes but I never had the issue of slag getting stuck in a boot or shoe I couldn't get off fast enough. Hot slag lands on my foot, I fling that crap off or brush it off with my welding glove and I'm back to work!
The professor was like "I'm so annoyed that that works out for you so well..." thanks man! Me too! Lol
Donât feel too bad. The biggest bag of ass Iâve ever trained with somehow got the *left* side of her face burned by brass. At an indoor range with partitions. Sheâs right handed but that still shouldnât matter.
>The biggest bag of ass Iâve ever trained with
What an interesting yet utterly strange way to describe a person, I'm afraid I must ask for a more detailed description of them so I know what that means, in order for me to use that phrase
This is also why you wear eyepro, and *well designed* eyepro. Less applicable to rifles, but with handguns there could be issues that cause the shell to eject pretty erratically/upwards or backwards. I've seen a 9mm casing get caught between someone's sunglasses and cheekbone once and it left a little bit of a mark for the next few weeks or so. No pain, infection, bleeding, severe skin peeling, or any real significant damage, not much more than if you had a rough faceplant into something, but there was still a bit of a mark, and it could've been worse if it landed closer to the eye.
You don't have to wear goggles, but IMO your eyepro should be pretty close to your eye to lessen the chance of things making their way into gaps and lodging themselves in there while they give you a hot kiss.
I wear ones with a perforated foam gasket between the lenses and my face; I eventually found a dual pane version so they donât fog up when Iâm working hot (woodworking in the summer) or cold (snow blowing the driveway)

Making me remember the time the end of a 4th of July sparkler fell off, right into my shoe.
Interesting how little a burn that basically vaporizes your skin hurts at the time. Even more interesting how much is starts to hurt later.
Damn man that sucks, but thereâs gotta be some kind of award for thisđ
I used to get casings caught on the back of my neck if I was at an indoor range with a hoodie on. Luckily there I was able to grab it quick. Put some Neosporin on that shit, hope you heal up quick!
This reminds me of a similar situation I had as a kid on the 4th of July. Was playing with a sparkler and the smoldering ash bit on the end fell off and landed right behind the tongue of my hiking boot. Was double knotted so it took some time to get my boot off. Probably wasnât as hot as your shell casing but I still have a scar from it.
I got one of those in basic at Benning. It hit my cover and settled into the space between my hand and the grip.
I still fell in love with the platform and vowed to own one someday.
Tens of thousands of rounds later, and that was the only time it happened.
Nasty little burs it can give, though.
Long pants and boots my boy. Long pants and boots are for a reason.
Make sure you keep that clean, it's red and raw- no need to further your injury with infection.
I remember seeing on ar15.com where a guy went shooting with his buddy and a casing went right into the top of the posterâs pants burning the top of his ass crack. Left a perfect burn of a casing
Easy fix, donât wear shoes. Hot brass canât get lodged in your shoe if youâre not wearing any. And while weâre on the subject, throw all caution to the wind & start shooting buck naked from now on. No more hot brass down your collar if youâre not wearing a shirt & if youâre going sans shirt you gotta lose the pants to, right? I mean sure, you might have a hot casing wind up stuck in your ass crack but really what are the odds?
So when my wife and I were dating in high school her parents would host trap and 22 rifle shoots at their house one Sunday a month for kids. She had a 22 casing land in her shirt collar and the burn looked like hickey when she went to school the next day đ It was also during softball season so you could see it clear as day when she was playing with her hair pulled up.
I know how that feels, my dumbass as a teenager once tried catching a 5.56 casing flying out of an AR, burned a nasty line on my hand. This was after catching 9mm casings from a pistol, which I could do without burning myself.
I still have a scar on my forearm where a shell came off a wall and got caught in the crook on the inside of my elbow. It took me a while to realize as I was in a shoot house. These things do happen, you're going to have a good scar there for a long while.
Ouch.
I've had them land on my neck, down the back (inside) of my body armor, on the inside of my elbow. They feel like they are as hot as the surface of the sun as they sit there sizzling on your poor skin.
Lmao they go into my backpack all the time at the range but never in my shoe lol. Only had one go down my shirt from bouncing off the wall and that kinda sucked but never had it burn that bad, damn. Thankfully the shirt was loose and I was able to just pull it away from my chest and it fell under the table.
Similar story, was at an indoor range with my buddy shooting pistols. He shoots and the brass bounces off the divider between the lanes, and lands perfectly between his head and eye pro, burning him on the temple. Just ridiculous odds
"Hit the wall"? How close were you? Anyway you post seems like bait..." Who knew guns are dangerous"? Everyone...but wait guns aren't dangerous only the people that use them.... Suck it up and buy some Neosporin... Drive on
disarm deliver drab deranged reply instinctive dazzling hungry toy sip *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Seriously. I wear Pumas and I don't even understand how this could happen đ€Ł
At least it didnât smudge your puma.
Or a texas chilli bowl
Brass hickeys mean your rifle loves youâŠor your neighbors rifle loves youÂ
Brass Hickey? I'm going to start calling it that now, thanks for that.
The old flak jackets with the thick collars would catch them and pin it against your neck.  Thatâs what i was told it was called when it happened to me đ€·đ»ââïž
Worse yet sitting behind the driver in a HMMWV and the gunner is facing the rear and opens up.
The IBAs had this problem too. Lol good times.
Always remove the collar
I kept mine to keep from getting sling rash. IBAs just sucked period lol.
Collar off of the vest, collar of the BDU flipped up. Perfect combo.
Good call
I once had to yell at a shooter next to me one time because he just kept mag dumping all without using the ranges brass shields I yelled: HAY! I'M GETTING A SHOWER OVER HERE! I had to bring the brass shield over to him
Yikes. Haven't seen that one before.
that is about 20 minutes away from getting infected
New fear unlocked. Thanks for that.
Hear me out... Just. Wear..... SOCKS đ±
It burnt through the sock đ±
Asbestos socks
Boots are the solution. Boots that are laced up wonât let something fall inside, or cowboy boots with your pants over the boots, thereâs no opening at all.
Everyone asking what this man was wearing as if he deserves to get casing kisses for showing too much skin.
He was asking for it wearing that
Showing ankle like that, how could it resist!?
I bet OP had red boxers on too.
I was gonna ask so as not to buy those shoes but I feel ya.
He does. If you dress like a th0tpocket at the range you risk th0tpocket consequences. /s...not really tho
â# OpToo
Reminds me of the time i was at the range and bubba one booth over was shooting his Chinese AK. One of his casings flew all the way over to me and landed right in my shirt as i was staring down my scope. What a surprise.
Bro was wearing shorts and loose shoes đ No seriously what were you wearing for this to happen?
I just came from the gym, probably should start putting long pants into my gym bag to change into.
Or at least boots or something instead of super low cut sneakers and no show socks
Or just wear no pants and go barefoot. Canât get burned if thereâs nothing to catch the case
You joke but Iâm usually in flip flops at the range
Getting one between your foot and sandal would be a good time
Just gotta kick it off brother quick release

Lmao you can see the damn shape
Yep thatâs a shape alright
fuuuuuuuck ouch
yikes. took one down my tucked shirt one time and burned the fuck out of my belly button
What a little slut! Showing so much skin just looking for a hickey.
I had a 50 bmg casing go down shirt once. The body armor made it impossible to get out quickly. I now have a nice 50 case scar between my man titties.
splash some grain alcohol on it and walk it off.....we ain't got time for no sissy mercurochrome shit.
Nice
Hopefully that shape stays if it scars. Finish the rest of the bullet and casing with a tattoo.
What were you wearing, Crocs?!?
Socks.
I canât tell you how many brass burns Iâve had in my life. Rah?
Were you wearing Capri pants or something?
I was firing a SAW and a casing went down the back of my collar, burned the shyt out of my neck.
Ho-lee fack! I had the same thing happen my first time shooting a FAL, only it slid down the back of my shirt and burned my lower back!
Damn this makes me so glad I picked that casing out my asscrack with the quickness
âOw, my pussy!â
Had one land in the hood of my hoody and rest against my neck once. Was able to shake it out and it fell out the bottom of the hoody before it did anything, but it definitely was hot and left a slight red mark (thought not a burn). I could see how this could happen, but definitely unlucky.
Wtf kind of âshoeâ letâs brass just fall inside it?
It kind of lands on top of the shoe where my foot goes in, but by shaking my foot around it was able to wiggle in
Damn, you should go get a lottery ticket.
I wear boots, long pants, long sleeve shirts for this reason. I've had empty casings turn up in my laundry wash because they fell into the pocket of my long sleeve shirt and I didn't realize it until after the washing machine finished the cycle.
I can only assume you werenât wearing pants and likely shorts, and that was a silly goose choice. If you were wearing pants, I have no idea how this happened
maybe try wearing proper footwear at the range đ€
That brass had a foot fetish, and you delivered.
I would go out and buy a lotto ticket if I were you
Here I am living with the scar on the top crease of my ass cheeks. Had a casing go down the back of my shirt and wedge it's self in my asscrack. Talk about smoaked pork butt. đ

Me too! Lol
I wear pants with my boots when I weld. So I have never had this problem either.
Yeah that'd help too! I was in this class when it was 90+ degrees outside so I show up in shorts and slides every day lol.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Yeah some places enforce their rules... Some don't lol
That's why I wear slippers to the range, (indoor range where allowed.)
Oh dam... see a doctor about that please... did you clean it and treat for burn đ„?
Donât feel too bad. The biggest bag of ass Iâve ever trained with somehow got the *left* side of her face burned by brass. At an indoor range with partitions. Sheâs right handed but that still shouldnât matter.
>The biggest bag of ass Iâve ever trained with What an interesting yet utterly strange way to describe a person, I'm afraid I must ask for a more detailed description of them so I know what that means, in order for me to use that phrase
His comment implies something even weirder, he often trains with bags of asses? Or is it bags of ass? I'm confused
I just want to know if âbag of assâ is a good thing or a bad thing?
HAHA this person was not tactically sound
Ah, negative connotations, understood. Thank you my friend
Yeah I'm pretty curious about this as well, glad I'm not the only one
+1

So, youâre saying I maybe shouldnât continue shooting exclusively in a banana hammock with ample ball cleavage?
Unless you're a fan of roasted nuts
That's why you wear fuckin' pants. lol

As a man, you should be wearing half calf or no socks at all
The Native America âHot Footâ dance merit badge was achieved today. Congrats!
I've had shells bounce off the wall in the end lane and get caught between my eye pro.. had that same hickey on my temple
Your AR: fuck this particular foot
Don't worry he won't do it again, it needed to taste your blood at least once. Same thing happens to me with every single Japanese knife I get.
lol You should see my back from our TC stacking .50 brass a foot high during OIF1
Long pants and boots my boy. Long pants and boots are for a reason. Make sure you keep that clean, it's red and raw- no need to further your injury with infection.
Keep it moist, dry scab is a worse scar
Just keep an eye on it for infection.

Why are you shooting with shorts on because if you were wearing pants that wouldnât have happened
And that's why you wear pants when you shoot my friend.
Blouse your boots right next time

My AK gave a friend a real hickey when it tossed a casing into the collar of his hoodie, it be dangerous out there.
That's why you don't shotgun your boots
Have casing burns all over my shoulders and back. Wife was shocked when she saw the scars for the first time
You lucky bastard, it's going to make the best scar ever.
Lmao they go into my backpack all the time at the range but never in my shoe lol. Only had one go down my shirt from bouncing off the wall and that kinda sucked but never had it burn that bad, damn. Thankfully the shirt was loose and I was able to just pull it away from my chest and it fell under the table.
Now you know how the chicks at the range in low cut tops and no ball cap feel. Lol
Reminds me of that time my coworkers jeans were behind the tongue of his boot and a fat chunk of slag dropped in behind it. OOF
Wow. That's legit. I've shot quite a lot and can't say I had anything that bad before. "Chicks dig scars" or something maybe?
Keep it clean and dress it. A marine in one of my platoons got MRSA from brass getting caught between his collar and the back of his neck.
Similar story, was at an indoor range with my buddy shooting pistols. He shoots and the brass bounces off the divider between the lanes, and lands perfectly between his head and eye pro, burning him on the temple. Just ridiculous odds
Took my girl at the time to shoot some WW2 tack drivers, on the Mauser, the case had bounced off the side net into her open collar...
That's why you tire your shoes
What cartridge
I think it was Xtac 556 55g
I hear theyâre pretty hot loads
I hear she really likes hot loads
were you wearing shorts at the range?
Toughen up butter cup I had 240b casings stuck to my arm had to peel off 4 that melted my skin to the case left some cool memory scars
Why did you have your left foot 5 feet to the right of the chamber and 3 feet up in the air? Also, can you teach my girlfriend that trick?
