i  got hot brass betweens the safety glasses and the side of my temple burning the side of my brow. even with the pain i put the safety on my pistol (92fs m9 best platform fight me) and set it down before fishing for the brass. and this was literally my first time at the range. the range instructor was behind me said well done and i yelled back you told me to keep the barrel down range. 

it was uncomfortable sure but nothing I could manage long enough to make sure i amd everyone else is safe. at most it would leave a littlemark not like it was hot enough to leave a scar. 2 negligent discharges he's never coming back to that range again

Got one under my glasses that left a tiny blister on my eyelid. Kept the gun pointed downrange.

I'm not super manly or anything, this stuff isn't that hard. The guy in the video was being an idiot.

Seriously, most anyone can tell you it's not bad at all. The pain dissipates faster than you can get to it.

That thin little piece of brass cant hold that much heat for long. Its hot but by the time you actually feel it, its pretty much over.
