How well do neck shots heal?

[rdb123]

I'm just wondering how quickly any of your neckshots have healed. I'm asking because I have taken two neckshots over the past 3 months or so and on one of them, I can still clearly see the circle in a mirror about 30 feet away or so. (Keep in mind that I got nailed from about 6 feet away on that one). I'm talking about bare-skin shots.

Well what about the rest of you?

Just say it's a hickey .

I dunno about neck shots, but I had a bloody welt on my side that took about 2 weeks to heal.

[personman]

Heh.. I got one at SCAO that lasted < a week..

[Will Wood]

NOT GOOD! Takes forever.. but yea, I told everone it was hickey of course.

close range shots always seem to take a really long time. i took a shot to my wrist from 5 ft, and i had a scar there for a good 9 months..its finally fading away now...

[rdb123]

How long is "forever?" Because when I took my shots there, they bled some. And you have to admit that it gets annoying seeing a big circle on the side of your neck about 1-inch below your mastoid process for a few months; it wouldn't be nice in the future if they didn't go away. Just imagine if you got bunkered and took 7 across the throat. =\

The last time I got a neck shot was in late august... I can still feel a faint ring on that spot. It's fading though.

i got 1 point blank to the left of my throat in 8th grade it left a bad mark, i mean bad, if i find the pick, its somewhere here on my bottomless pit of a harddrive, but any way it took about 6 months for mine to heal, well it was pintbalnk of coarse, and it left a scar, its cool, and or coarse i told them it was a hickey

[rdb123]

Did it fully heal to the point where you can't even tell it was there anymore?

Thanks

BTW, I'd be interested in seeing that pic haha.

I've got to say that it's really not a very pleasant experience to be nailed with 3 consecutive shots from 6 ft in the Adam's Apple. I lit the guy up, naturally, but unfortunately this was a scenario game and he had an artifact which made him "invincible". Needless to say, I bought a neck protector a soon afterwards.

it will go away. patience

i had one last like 8 months though. It was on my arm and it made me bleed

aaahhh, "sensitive" subject. I was playin at a friend's brother's birthday party, a bunch of ten year olds (nothing wrong with ten year olds, BUT, they had never played before. It was like a small speedball field, and I ran around a beer can thinking no one was there (I was going for the flag) I must have scared the crap out of one of the kids cuz he blasted away at the first thing he saw, which ended up being 3 shots to the neck from 5 feet, no more. *ouch*
ANYWAY, it was all see-inside-my-neck and nasty for about a week, but by...oh, I'd say 3 weeks...It was completely gone, no scar, nothin. "Lucky," maybe??

I took one in the inner thigh about 3" above my knee, the weekend before Thanksgiving 2002. It was from at least 20ft away, and hit so hard it made me bleed through my pants. I can still see the mark right now.

I wish I had made that guy chrony off the field........

use vitamin E oil. I got shot point blank in the neck by a teammate, i did not put Vitamin E oil on it soon enough, and now it is permanent. I recently got shot again in the neck, that time i did point vitamin e oil on it, and it is now completely gone. Just put it on every day or so..

[BobTheCow]

Cool!! *makes mental note*...vitamin E oil...
