Well having been on the receiving end of Chronic again this weekend, I have to say it still bounces & bruises like nothing else. A glancing shot on my arm, which definitely did not break, has left a very large bruise. You can see that it didn't hit me straight on because of the shape of the bruise (sort of with a trailing tail like a comet), and was shot from the length of the field by an opposing back player. It hurt like **** as well.
