The same exact story was told to me about three days ago by a member of the other DA team in our company. Except, their team medic was able to pull out the brass jacket in the team room and stitched him up. It happened when his team leader was shooting steel some 35 m away in the SFAUC range. I believe that there was a safety message concerning shooting steel plates, but I think it had to do with 5.56 and not 9mm.
