I wish I could say there was no blood when it happened to me but I ended up with 9 stitches. There were 2 below the surface and 7 on top.Most every shooter has experience the scope coming back and hitting you near the eye. my first scoped gun was a a.270 WSM. Yeah should have really pulled it in tight, had no idea it was the much of a punch. Luckily no blood, i think my ego got hurt the most
M249 SAW cooked off a round just as I was pulling the charging handle back to perform immediate action. Little tiny pieces of brass would intermittently work their way out of my face for years afterwards.
Why did you have the feed tray cover open on immediate action? Or did it cook off as it was ejecting out the side? That sucks, though! Glad it didn't turn out worse, as it easily could have.
One time I was driving a truck, just outside of Fallujah, and some ammo from a BIG gun got blowed up in my face. I got my right hip mangled, some discs blown out in my back and neck, and a traumatic brain injury. They retired me and I get free money every month.
What did I win?
Thank you for your service.

I had fired quite a few rounds, not sure how many but it was (obviously) hot. It stopped in the middle of a burst, so I rolled it slightly left and started to pull the CH to the rear. That's when it went KaBoom. It's a good thing I wore glasses; this was in about '86 which is looong before the Army decided eyepro was a good thing.
