Yep, sure have. By a .38 in my right femur (right leg), spent four days in the hospital, 8 months recouperating. It shattered the bone and I had to get a titanium rod placed in to hold the femur together. Left with a USD-quarter sized skar where it penetrated and multiple skars rite above my knee where they were unsuccessfully trying to fish out the round and one two inch in length skar high on my thigh where they slid in the rod. The round is now stuck rite above my kneecap and sets off most metal detectors. It was an unsuccessful robbery attempt if you're wondering.

What did it feel like?? Hmmm, imagine, if you can, someone heats up a piece of metal to where it's close to melting, and shoves it in your leg. When it happened I didn't really know I was hit because I had so much adrenaline rolling. Got to my feet and noticed the guy who did it was lying in the street close to me with -clears throat- something stuck in his neck (I defended myself, yes) and then noticed the pain when I started hobling away. Trying to walk with a broken femur is the worste pain I've ever felt in my life. The bullet through my leg was bad but the broken femurs pain brought the pain notch up 50 times more. I walked about a football field length to my friends house where they called the ambulance and police. And then that's a whole other story. lol
