We call that the “Safety Dance”.

The first time I took a rifle class one of the other attendees loaned me his spare shemagh before the class got started. It saved me from more than a few hot shell casings going down my shirt.

When I was a Pfc, the sarge’s hot bullet casing went into his left sleeve. He also performed the hot-brass-dance. lol

I’m fairly confident that I’m among a relatively small number of people who have managed to accidentally catch hot pistol brass in the mouth. That led to an entire series of, “I guess Ray spits” jokes

Not only is this video amusing (not that i don’t feel for the guy, hot brass is never a fun experience) it also provides a great illustration as to the importance of good trigger discipline.

LOLZ, we’ve all been there and done that. At least he kept his rifle pointing in a safe direction during most of the anguish.
Here are my top 5 most common shooting injuries -
1. Brass bouncing off a booth wall and burning my neck
2. Forgetting to put my ear defenders back on
3. Flipping over a hot pump shotgun to reload and burning my hand
4. Steel plate ricochet (more of a shock then an injury when it hits)
5. Auto pistol hammer biting the web of my handI have had other injuries from shooting, but these all occurred when I was trying to do ‘tacticool’ drills. There’s nothing like throwing yourself onto the ground and having a load of metal magazines digging into your ribs or bringing a rifle up too fast and hitting yourself in the face with the scope. Yep, with those types of skillz, I should have been Delta.

Hey, from what i saw, he at least maintained trigger discipline and kept the muzzle kinda downrange. I’m sure the shooter to his left was kinda scared though :}
BTW… the first time i had hot rifle brass down my shirt.. i was yelping like a little girl too

Well at least he keeps the weapon pointed downrange and finger off trigger until someone takes it away from him. I’ve always taken the precaution to tell women I take shooting that they need to wear a full t-shirt, cleavage is great and I’m a huge fan of it, but it’s bad on the range unless you want to do the “Hot Brass Titty Dance” But as this video shows, sometimes, shit happens

Who hasn’t been there? Given enough time, despite all the precautions, you will eventually do the hot-brass-dance. Not too proud to say that this gentleman and have very similar dance moves.
