Any last requests, Punk?
Before he could open his mouth I fired. (.22 shot)
Being mid summer my uniform consisted of shorts and jandals....

It seems hard plastic hubcaps and tiny shot are incompatible. Especially at close range (5m)

Frikkin ouch! I got peppered on the bare chest and face, missed my eyes luckily but got one in the lip.
felt like a sand blaster was swept across me.

We had a similar story when shooting three gun - low power trap loads with steel shot on bowling pins - not recommended!
