My question is

both

Both, and more than once.

Both

Absolutely I have! I had a career based around dodging real bullets for 27 years.

Metaphorically I was married once to a terrible woman for 11 years and I have been divorced and single for the past 19 years, so I dodged that bullet that would have killed my soul and spirit!

Do I appear like that?

Yeah kinda. didn't really dodge it, caught me square in the chest and bounced off! Mildly stimulating at the time!

Nope

Only metaphorically
