Public sight in days at the range were always a bit of a hoot. After about 3 incidents of wrong ammo in a rifle on the same day, the next year they mandated that all ammo and rifles would be verified by a member before firing.

My brother once had brass pulled out of his eyeball after shooting a 270 round out of a 7mm Mag, a friend had laid down ammo for a different gun when my brother wasn't looking. No damage to his eye, amazingly, just little pieces of brass half-embedded in the outermost layer of the eye. Makes me shudder to even think of it.
