Assuming you're in open space (it cant be anywhere else since you didn't mention any bounces), those 8 shraps that come out are inactive and do 10 dmg, not 190.

Even if you do put yourself in a position to avoid the 8 (10 dmg) shrapnels when they come out, you arent protecting yourself from what is actually dangerous - the bounces that are about to compound the shrap damage by 1900%. In truth you were better off hitting them before they bounced.

Based on these statements, I think you smoke crack. At the very least, you have no idea about the game mechanics.
This description of InactiveShrapDamage applies:

"Damage shrapnel causes in its first 1/4 second of life." It has nothing to do with whether is has bounced or not, nor whether you are in the open or near a wall. After 1/4 second, shrap deals it's 190 damage.
Crack kills. So does shrap. Even out in the open.
