I scratched my hand while firing a Makarov.

If we are listing injuries from weapons I can list plenty.
When shooting a Walther G22 bullpup .22 rifle, my dad assembled it in the left-handed configuration because it can be assembled both ways, and after the difficulty it gave it him assembling (it's worse than a bb gun) he finally got it together this way. Because the left-handed configuration has the bolt on the left side of the stock, when I shouldered it to fire, the bolt hit my chin, gashed it open and felt like a punch. Even when he put it back to right handed configuration I shot it with one hand, extended away from my face. Still have the scar. When I was loading an Automag Mark V .50 AE, the decocking lever was down and the slide was locked back. I released the slide and the level gashed the back of my thumb open. Plus when I shot it the rear sight screw blew off and cut my forehead. That gun must have hated me. Shooting my dad's Sweet 16 Browning A5 with a scope, I rested it wrong because my winter jacket was too heavy to realise, and when I fired, it slipped and the scope hit me between the eyes. Common injury apparantly. Oh, and countless hammer bites from old M1911s and slide bites from Walther PPKs.

My Piece-O'-Crap High Standard cut my hand open, I burned my hand with my 686 once (gas burned the shit out of me because my hand was too close to the cylinder gap), a .30-30 almost tore my arm out of the socket (4 lb gun + 6 yr old shooter + heavy recoil= PAIN!), Mosin Nagant M44 bruised my shoulder after I fired 15 rnds (only stopping to reload)

Once I fired an over-and-under 12 gauge shotgun and both barrels fired at once. Bruised my shoulder pretty bad.
The funny thing is I'm almost notorious amongst the gun owners who know me (even my dad) as being able to shrug off some mean recoil. For example two instances: 1. I was at a friend's house and he had guns to shoot. The "big" gun of theirs was a .444 Marlin 336 lever action. I shoulder it and expect it to hurt, and fire it. I then turn to my friend's dad and ask, "That's it?" He laughed. 2. After firing a 10 Gauge twice, my dad askes, "Had enough?" I replied, "Got anymore?" haha. He had buckshot left, which kicks more. Shot four of those as well, no problem. My love of guns overwhelms my discomfort of pain.

I dare you to dual wield a pair of KS-23's from the hip.

My uncle told me once about how one of his buddies got hit by a ricochet from an SKS. I think the guy lived, but I can't really remember

I don't know where I'd get them or how I'd be able to hold one in each hand (since they're heavy as hell) but if I see them I shall!
