A while back I was either up in Kamloops, or shooting at the side of my garage with a little Spring .177 cal. BB gun, and I caught a ricochet in the eye.
Off a wall, or a fluke bounch off a can or something (low power BB gun)
Luckily enough, I guess my eye automatically reacted to something I guess, like air pressure, or the blur of the BB, but I blinked and caught it in the eyelid..
I guess our eyes are programmed to close pretty g'damned quick, because I didn't see it coming, but it saved me a helluva lot of damage. Sure hurts like hell when those little copper BB's slam into your eyeball! Heheh.
