The highlighted portion above may explain the story. I have known guys that were '10 ft tall and bullet proof' when they were drinking. ;-) Additionally, their stories tended to be slightly exaggerated.

If he had actually had multiple small bruised spots, it was more likely paint-balls that hit him, but not .380 rounds. "rlol"
