In a wide swath/burned a crease
Hi
Two guys were running away from the guys who were trying to shoot them.
One of those who was running away pointed his pistol over his head and fired four shots in a wide swath to buy them some time. The only thing it bought was a barrage of bullets, one of which burned a crease in his right arm but didn't go in.
What does "in a wide swath mean" here?
Does "burned a crease" mean that the bullet just scratched his arm?
