RE: wear shooting glasses guys
I used to have a shotgun that was getting pretty badly worn and would give you some pretty good backblast about every other shot. I wear prescription eyewear that is shatter proof, so I personally have never really worried about eye protection, but I know what you are talking about. Pistols are the worst, especially older revovlers. They tend to let out a bit of powder blast when they go off and have a tendency to burn your hands from time to time.
