The only dog that ever bit me was a chihuahua. And it’s teeth did puncture my leather shoe. (Topsiders, so you know what era that was...)
And what you say is true. The pitbull’s body and jaw size make it dangerous. Same as any other comparison...I have a friend who shot a bb through his finger. Didn’t bother going to the doctor and nothing came of it.(probably not a good idea though) Also just saw a guy who shot half his finger off with a 9mm. He did go to the doctor. (and was on local anesthetic so he could watch them clip off the rough bone on the end. Nice.)
Speaking of...I’m amazed with all the the people I know who had bb gun fights, none of them were missing an eye.
...And if anyone wants to know, the guy shot his finger off with a Springfield XD...
(and if you’re really curious, middle finger, while cleaning it, no I don’t know him IRL)
Years ago, we did a paintball game with some guys from our fire dept. They FROZE their paintballs, them bastards!
I had ice on me all week long.
