SpudFiles

I was playing around with my golfball launcher and was just having fun shooting a cardboard box with towels and junk inside of it, and I was getting ready to shoot my last ball when small ball valve wasn't shut all the way and my brother pushed my barrel , (not on purpose) and my gun went off with my gun filled with 120psi launching a ball at the tree bouncing back and hitting me above my right eye,thank God it didnt hit my eye, I do need to see

Dude, I told you not to use yourself as target practice, lol!!! That musta hurt like a bastard!!! I, however, didnt feel a thing, lol!!! Always be AWARE, and PAY ATTENTION!!!

I've found it's much safer to have only one person operate a spudgun from filling to firing. I hope now you'll learn to check all your valves (especially the pilot). The last thing we need is a forum member ending up in the news because of an spudgun-related injury/death.

You could say its a cut above the rest

Yea, i learned very well, my eye is fine, I can still drive, type and everything else, but no stiches,

Im glad my eye is good,
,
I didnt feel it at all surprisngly after i felt a thump,I was like lil ice and ill be good, Didnt realize I was bleeding till I saw blood on the ball lol, Then a second later my hand , and shirt were soaked in blood, Then ran to my mom , and said get the hell up, my heads bledding, and just fixed it up

A good reminder, you should always wear good quality safety gear before firing and operating anything ..... potentialy lethal, or in this case, a spudgun.

Good to hear you're ok..

maybe you should practice with a water gun before you fire a pneumatic again/????

Lol

Jesse, I'm very glad it wasn't an inch lower. Glad you're ok man.

At the risk of stating the obvious, that could easily have taken your eye out.

Others were not so lucky.

I hope you've at least learnt your lesson.

Thank but even if i had glasses on, they wouldnt have helped, my injury is way above my eye brow, but next time they be on my eyes, and matty, i think i might have to stick with water,lol, better yet just pretend
lol


I know way to many people with 1 eye i dont want to be one of them

In your case, maybe this is a better idea.

In any case:

Do you know them at family reunions? If so, this might just be a Darwinian thing. Just sayin'

thats funny , i put peroxide on it burns like a F***er, but i have to hold my guts in and do it!!!

Any idea how long it might take to heal??? 7 months?

A couple of weeks I suppose, but you're going to have a lovely bruise first...

Remember:

DOLOR TEMPORARIVS - GLORIA AETERNA - CICATRICES VIRGINIBVS PLACENT

Just don't tell them you got it by shooting yourself
