A friend and co-worker was shot in the calf with a 12 gauge magnum #6 load at about 5-7 yards. It happened 32 years ago while he and the shooter were hunting together. The kid got excited and fired while swinging the gun up. My friend went down like a ton of bricks. He was 6'7" and about 270# at the time.
There was a lot of soft tissue and muscle damage and the bones were shattered.
He was off work for about six months in 1967 and it has bothered him ever since. About two years ago he had a bone infection in that area that almost killed him. He is still working where I do and it still bothers him.
