toof bin shot out!

[rynedogg]

this is a pic of relarz's tooth that was shot out today at our field. thanks to knief.

Well, they say it's better to give than to recieve, and I gave relarz a bb to the tooth today. I was in a CQB house shooting to the outside through a head level window. Relarz was pretty much right up against the outside wall of the window that I was shooting through, and I was about 5 feet back from the window moving right to left looking for the tangos that I knew were out there. Relarz cut across and I fired a double tap from my stock G&G M4. I thought I aimed low, but Relarz apparently isn't the tallest fella on the field. One of the bbs split between his closed lips (he had cuts on both his top and bottom lips at the same place, as well) and shattered the tooth just to the right of his left canine. The game went on for another 30 seconds until we all realized what happened.

Relarz spit out five pieces of tooth, and has a tiny fragment left in his gum. And to his credit, relarz took it in stride, and wasn't even upset at me, or really even the situation. He was joking and laughing about it two minutes later. That really showed good character, I thought.

I really feel bad about it. For the rest of the day, I was taking leg shots, which was pretty useless because extremity hits didn't count.

thanks for the fun day guys

We are going to encourage balaclava's and mouth guards for the CQB building for just such reasons in Lyons. And any one under 18 will have to probly have some sort of mask to cover ears and teeffases..., We did some playing in there today before the req. game and it was sweet. You guys that are going to come out to th building are going to....G......G.......Giggidy, Giggidy, going to love it.

*UPDATE* root canal done, the nerve ending hadn't gotten infected yet and so they took it out right then. they also filled the canal with some dental cement. tomorrow i go back and get a post drilled up into my gum and a core will get inserted into the gap where the tooth once was.

and, contrary to what i thought, they didnt have to pull out the little bit that was left there, and are just gonna build the new tooth right on top of that

Ouch sorry to hear about that. This is why I wear a balaclava, which doesn't impair your senses like people think it does so I would reccomend one to everyone at least for CQB.

after seeing this I'm definitely getting some mouth protection. I don't have dental insurance and if that happened to me I probably could not get it fixed.

I tried a mouth guard. I hated it, it made me look like a monkey and made me drool everywhere. I saw a neoprene face mask for hunting at walmart so I'm gonna try that. It has small holes where the mouth is and the nose is open so hopefull the ventilation will be good.

the new core is built and i go back in two weeks for the final crown, it actually looks like i never lost it. w00t
