Invisable scar
I shot myself in the ear at point blank range with a BB gun once.

Twas a wargame, and I was shot out with my gas revolver cocked and loaded.

So, I put my hands up, and decock my revolver. Here is where a vital flaw came into play.

When decoking the revolver, the gas release valve is exposed. So, if the hammer were to be held back by something, the mechansim would vent all of the gas i nthe resevior and fire a incredibly powerful BB bullet (due to all the excess gas).

Of course, someone shot at me, so Instinctively I put my hands over my face, with the revolver.

Things get a bit sketchy here, but what seems to have happend was that my face mask somehow caught the hammer, thus releasing all of the gas into my ear and a very powerful shot into my ear lobe and punching a nice bloody dent in it.

Of course, the gas is stored at a very cold temperature, and so my eardrum and eyelids (I had JUST managed to close my eyes in time, but it stil hurt) froze over.

Cue temporary deafness and screaming whilst rolling around on the floor clutching my eyes in agony.

I got a small, perfectly circular scar on my right earlobe now, but it's already faded.
