It is not easy being a bombshell on a battlefield. While filming `High Risk,` in which she plays a dizzy drug runner on the lam from a Mexican jail, Lindsay Wagner was repeatedly pelted and singed by bullets and shells. ``I got third-degree burns from a machine gun,`` she groans, ``and no matter what I did, the shells kept bouncing off me. The men in those sequences had jackets, boots and dungarees, while my body was exposed in this off-the-shoulder blouse and a sack skirt.`` Wagner was comforted somewhat by a cuddly black panther cub, one of her co-stars, but mostly, she says, ``I applied a lot of ice`` to that not-so-bionic skin.
