Quite a video here. A British patrol in Afghanistan was attacked by insurgents, and while returning fire one of them was hit in the face by a ricochet. It's the soldier in the upper right hand corner, and he takes it at about 2:10. He recovered and was back on patrol a couple of days later, but it's a compelling piece of tape. A rare opportunity for some of us to see firsthand what a firefight looks like in real life when the bullets are kicking up dust all around you.
