  1. I just looked up the safest ways to be hit with a bullet for a script, and apparently bullets creating exit wounds are typically less damaging than bullets which get stuck in the flesh? I didn't know that, I thought it'd be the reverse because of the blood loss and stuff.

    1. @mrmattimation That really depends on where you're hit, though generally you'll bleed out faster if there is an exit wound but get infected if there isn't one. Really having an exit wound is generally preferable as long as you weren't hit anywhere fatal.

    2. @mrmattimation low velocity rounds tend to riddle their way in a person, richocheting, causing a lot more damage than a through and through.

      1. @awl it still depends on ammo type by some degree. Hollow points or ballpoints have the tendancy to make an exit wound when fired in 7.62 format, even more so in 5.52 and 5.56 however. They do very nasty things inside the body. Regardless of firearm though, beter not get shot, but when you are actually shot, better pray it's a FMJ, I'd say ( I do not have any experience with non FMJ GSW's )
