A ricocheting 30-06 calibre bullet caused a low velocity penile injury in a 54-year-old man, shearing the right corpus cavernosum and crossing the ipsilateral thigh and gluteal muscles. Prompt surgical exploration with meticulous debridement and corporeal reconstruction through a degloving incision led to excellent cosmetic and functional results.
