I have had the muzzle of a 12 guage go right off within an inch of my head, nothing happend to me but a damn ringing in my ear. ( damn brother-inlaw)
Yea, but try standing in front of a 300 ultra mag, just out of the way of the bullet path. I havnet tried, but if you want to, go for it.

Muzzle blast can kill, it's happened.
