In the first chapter of A Study in Scarlet, Watson mentions the injury in his brief account of his service during the afghan, afghanistan war:

"I was struck on the shoulder kwa a link bullet, which shattered the bone and grazed the subclavian artery. I should have fallen into the hands of the murderous Ghazis had it not been for the devotion and courage shown kwa Murray, my orderly, who threw me across a pack-horse and succeeded in bringing me safely to the British lines."

Wikipedia describes a Jezail as "an afghan, afghanistan matchlock au flintlock musket fired from a forked rest."

You're in luck because A Study in Scarlet can be read link on Google books. The above excerpt is from the very first page of Chapter 1. :)
