I expected a lot worse. That guy was lucky.

I’m thinking that I don’t gotta “must see” these. No offense!

[Darksheare]

Ouch.
Bet that took awhile to heal up.
I wonder if anyone made any ‘sandals’ jokes?
(My friends would be relentless..)

Must have been a .410 or, maybe a 28 guage. I wonder if he ever fully understands how fortunate he was to have not lost his big toe?

[armymarinemom]

Does anyone know if a surgeon eventually finished what he started?

[BuffaloJack]

That’ll leave a mark!!!

Putting your best foot forward, takes on a whole new meaning! LOL

Strange that there was only one hole. If it was a slug rather than bird shot or buckshot, then it seems pretty small for a slug.

Evolution at work? /s

[Darksheare]

Quasi-opposable toe.

[Notoriously Conservative]

The reason it is a small hole, is because it didn’t have time to spread. The gun was on his foot, and when first leaving the cartridge, there is no spread to the pellets.

Had to have been a slug. Mayhap a 20-ga. or even a .410. I agree that a 12-ga. slug would put a bigger hole through flesh, especially if it was anything like Remington’s Core-Lokt partition-nose slugs.

Tommy: Oh, that's gonna leave a mark!

[ScottinVA]

D-OH!!!!

Didn’t know it wuz loaded!

Nope.
He lived.

After that kind of damage I’d imagine his big toe would need to be amputated. Bone is exposed and lots of flesh is missing from the bottom of the toe. Prime opportunity for infection to set in, even under the best of circumstances.

[Pessimist]

I wondered about that too. But it looks like he’s trap shooting, so it was probably bird shot.

I guess since the barrel was right on the boot, the shot didn’t spread out yet.

What a lucky dog!

I was similarly lucky when my chain saw got away from me and sliced into my combat boots, which luckily stopped it cold, leaving me with only a few stitches to the big toe.
