[AnAmericanMother]

Depends on how good your discipline is - my daddy (Combat Engineers 1942-1948) raised me right!

I had a hot .45 ACP empty go down the neck of my shirt on the range. I neither moved nor even squeaked. Cleared the pistol, dropped the magazine, set it safely on the tray, then shook the shell out of my shirt.

I still have a little semi-circular scar. But I didn't let down the family!

I had most of the brass from a magazine of an M14 go down my shirt collar. I put mine on safe, chucked it on the ground, and ripped off my shirt. I buttoned the top button after that.

The M14 had a remarkably high rate of fire. You couldn't anything after the first round, but the magazine emptied just the same.
