The brain itself does not feel pain and the frontal lobe is not critical to functioning. Probably under the skin and when it happened he just thought it was a small wound. It healed over and the rest is history.
My son got shot with a BB gun in his upper lip when he was about 7 or 8 yrs old. I felt the wound carefully and could feel nothing there. Assumed it had bounced off. Didn't realize it was still there until it worked its way back to the inside of his lip some 5 years later. Had to operate to remove it.

But the poor chap had a severe headache. Slightly delayed though.
