Hot brass....or whatever.

Do I really need a hat on the range? I've been reading about hot casings on the head, down the bra, all kinds of stuff.
I'm not a hat person, my head lets excess heat out....I need the cooling, but if I really need one....

I'm not shooting revolvers right now. Lol. It's nice that you don't have stuff flying around, but I'm letting my revolver "rest"....
 
This popped up in my Facebook memories today.

That was the brass down the back of the shoe day. Burned and blistered because it got stuck.

See... This is exactly why my wife and I are topless when we shoot. That way there's no way for the brass to get caught in a top garment....it just rolls off.....
I wonder if that accounts for the audiences we usually have watching us??

I thought that I was the only one who did that.

Hey, Glocks (not all but most) tend to throw brass at your face and the top of your head. So dress appropriately if you are shooting one.

Well, luckily for me, I wasn't able to shoot any Glocks well enough to buy one, so....I guess my face/head are safe.
 
Had a piece of .22 brass get stuck between my glasses and cheek once. Left a nice little brand before I could get it off. A hat would have prevented that.

I've had hot brass between my glasses and face. Wasn't fun.

I've had hot brass go down the back of a shoe and burn my Achilles tendon. Wasn't fun. Left a scar.

I've had hot brass get caught in the crook of my elbow when I was running a timer at a match. Wasn't fun.

I've had hot brass somehow get between me and an under armour tank top. Wasn't fun, left a scar.

If you shoot enough eventually you will have brass go somewhere you don't want it. It sucks when it happens.

Danced a jig ??? Thats what my machine shop teacher use to say when we were running lathes and milling machines. If one of the hot blue chips hits you I promise you WILL dance a jig.

Hot carbon scale off a piece of steel fresh from the forge will do that too. The good news is the chips are small so they cool quickly due to low thermal mass. The bad news is they start at about 2200 degrees.....
