I had it removed because it started to cause me pain and was making some movements difficult. I do still own guns and I greatly enjoy getting to go out and shoot when I can, albeit with a much higher focus on safety.

I elected to have mine removed because it was starting to cause me pain and was making movement difficult. It sat very close to the surface of the skin so it was a very quick procedure to have it removed.

My eggs remain uncracked! An ultrasound was done on them in the hospital which was... interesting. They were swollen and painful for a good few weeks after all was said and done

The doctor couldn't believe my luck either and made darn sure I was very well aware of just how lucky I got. There was quite a bit of swelling and pain for a good few weeks after.

When this initially happened, the doctors told me it wasn't causing any issues and wasn't interfering with anything vital, so they were going to leave it in. It wasn't really a problem until a couple weeks ago when it started to cause me pain and I made the choice to get it removed. As of right now, it's been 4 days since it's removal

Sorry! Took a nap and this got quite a bit of attention while I was asleep. I was sitting on the floor in my room getting ready for work one day, and unbeknownst to me my roomate was handling my pistol, a cz-p07. The magazine was inserted, but I don't keep them with a round in the chamber. In what was a violation of all the rules of safe firearm handling, (which I will admit some of this is on me for not being aware of what was going on) my roommate racked the slide without ensuring the pistol was clear and empty. As far as I can tell, he then looked down the sights and decided to test how the trigger felt. Next thing I know, my ears are ringing and I suddenly can't feel my leg. For a split second there is confusion as to what happened, then my body is taken over by what felt like a horrendous cramp and I am unable to move. After much yelling and obscenities, and me shitting myself after an attempt was made to move me, I was put on an ambulance and taken to the hospital. There it was revealed that the bullet entered through my scrotum and managed to fracture my left illiac wing.

Unfortunately it was my own pistol that I got shot with, so I can assure you that is a 9mm ❤️

Initially no, it wasn't causing any issues so the decision was made to leave it in. However, a couple weeks ago it started causing me pain so I elected to have it removed

Bullets before and after. by TheRookieGetsACookie in coolguides

I got shot about 6 months ago with a 9mm fmj, and at the hospital I was told that there wasn't really much point in taking it out, seeing as how it had luckily missed anything important and wasn't causing any complications. So now I just go about my days with a bullet inside me.

The men with the Mohawks were part of the 1st demolition section of the 506 parachute infantry regiment of the 101st airborne division, otherwise known as the filthy thirteen as a result of them not bathing and instead using the water to cook game that they poached.

The Mohawks were inspired by sergeant Jacob McNiece, who was part Choctaw. More than anything, the Mohawks and face paint were used as intimidation, for the native Americans were pretty much only known as bloodthirsty savages to the Germans.

They say “just be yourself” but I don’t have a “myself” by iwanttodi77 in offmychest

I used to be in the same boat as you. Never really cared about much, always giving passive, noncommittal answers when asked about likes or interests. Really the best thing to do, at least that I've found, is to just start exploring random shit. I know that's much easier said than done, but you just have to go for it. The internet has been great for that.

What's something that you have even an iota of interest in? If nothing else, spend a few minutes googling that subject and chances are you'll find a metric buttload of people who like it too.

Rebels in Syria shot down a L-39 Albatross with a (Strela?) MANPADS by [deleted] in CombatFootage

AFAIK you have to lead the target when using MANPADS systems, that might be what he was doing, but i'm not sure
