When I was 8 I shot a .22 with my BB gun damn thing came at me like a bullet ( hmmmm ) hit me in the fold of my arm ( inside elbow ) . Burned like hell and left a neat scar . Safety glasses wouldn't have helped at all.
FIFY

Hot casings down the shirt are a great way to learn to dance. I hate when I go shooting with my brother and il leave the glasses on my head in between loading clips....then forget to put them back on before firing again.....AR-15's are notorious for tossing hot unburned powder rite in my eyes .....burns like a mofo.

So you shot a 22 cal bullet with your BB gun to set it off?
I used to do that with shotgun shells....I often wonder how I'm still alive ....thankfully a shotgun shell outside of a barrel is pretty much harmless .....my brother use to put 22 rounds inside of a little tube/straw and chuck it in the air....when it came down and hit the street the shell would go off .....once again growing up on a farm .....last but not least ...My Grandfather use to cook in our barn every Friday evening on the ranch....he loved to drink ...I Swear to God he drank so much that Mosquitos wouldn't bite his ass.....anyways he would use an old cooking pot with a decent explosive set underneath to launch it into the air .....him and my uncle would compete and launch that pot three times higher than the barn ..LOL.....Then my uncle built a cannon that shot small block chevy lifters packed with flair powder.....even in the country that grabbed the Sheriffs attention .....probably the red tracer glow streaking across the sky at the speed of sound is what did it LOL.....it looked and sounded like fuckin artillery being fired.

We live in the country , and I have thousands of gun stories. But I'm really proud to tell one of daughter's shooting skills.
So back at Christmas we when to spend a couple of days with her and her boyfriend . We go over to his parents house for dinner and after we do some shooting , she gets her Kimber .45 out and starts blasting beer cans hits 10 out of 10 at 20 yds . Naturally I was impressed and wanted to show my skills I get out my Glock .45 and hit 2 out of 10 so she hands me her gun and I improve to 6 out of 10 . Then she takes my gun and goes 8 out of 10 game over I put my shit away.
Next morning she's like you ready for round two , I go out on the porch and she's got an arsenal of shit on the table . We shoot skeet with a 20 ga she never missed . We target shoot some .22's she never missed and then she said you want to see something impressive and I'm like ahh what now . She puts a beer can by the target ( steel revolving ) and then she shoots the target and ricochets into the can. I'm like holy shit.
And this week we are going to bye her 5 acres of her own and build a cabin or two.

That lifter Cannon is pure genius I wish I could have seen that.
It was the casing that got me the bullet only went about 3' and I was probably 5' back , but after that I didn't bother with shotgun shells.

It was a site, let me tell ya....I miss those days of goofing off at the home ranch eating good Portuguese food.... and my grandpa letting me sneak a small glass of my great uncles box wine with dinner....we've always farmed and raised beef ...But my Grandpas best friend owned a engine rebuild shop a few miles from the ranch....I use to hot tank and tear down motors for Mr.Tom in the summers for extra cash .....that's where the abundant supply of lifters came from for the cannon.....My uncle worked there for years as well.
Guns stories.
In my later teens I had a .357 revolver that I shot a lot - once I threw a couple rounds at an Australian pine (when the bullet hits it knocks off a shit load of bark clearly showing impact) - unfortunately for me these trees also happen to have very dense, hard wood which proceeded to ricochet the bullet straight back at me hitting me square in the sternum.
Needless to say that's the last time I picked on that type of tree.

That reminds me, my cousins and I used to do this.
You cut up a match box so you have the two striking strips. fold them into two U shapes that makes a small box when put together, with the strikers inside of course.
Now cut all the heads off the matches. If you have a .22 round, open it and keep the gunpowder.
Now comes the part that makes it work. Use that sellotape with the fibre bits in to tape the little box shut with the match heads and gunpowder inside. You really have to wind a lot of tape on to seal that mother fucker good.Take a long bolt or like 12 inches of steel rod, and tape the little box to the tip. tie a piece of rope to the other side.
Use the rope to throw the whole contraption in the air. The rope will act as a stabiliser and make the whole thing come down on the box.
It makes a bomb like sound. It is incredibly loud.
