FMJ and Steel
Ok...here's the story, today me, my friend, and his dad were shooting some steel targets (15-30+ feet). I was using 115 WWB FMJ ammo (9mm) and I started shooting, when I got done my friends arm was bleeding and he said it felt like someone hit him in the arm with a stick.
Just now he called me up and said that he has a 2X6mm peice of jacket in his arm (he got an X-ray), it's down to the bone...anyways did we just get unlucky or was it because of the FMJ ammo or were we too close or what?
I feel bad, I know we couldn't help it but it still sucks...anyways he wants to go shooting tommorow too, did this ever happen to any of you guys?
