Ludwig,

One of the upsides of reading lots of gun magazines is that you eventually read about almost any subject one might mention.

Someone (forgot who) did an article on this many years ago. In short, you can do it, but plan on your garment catching fire, or at least beginning to smoulder. If you ever saw "Tombstone" with Kurt Russell, watch the scene where Curly Bill Brocius (Powers Boothe) shoots Fred White, the town Marshall. It's a CLOSE range shot (maybe 12") and White's shirt catches fire and starts smoking. This is what you should expect.
