How To Treat a Gunshot Wound

[Arnie72]

Semi-agree Mortblanc that a knife wound in the same location other than central core on a human tend to be more damaging and potentially fatal than GSW, but disagree with 'Unless a primary organ or artery is hit you have a pretty good chance.' as the trauma induced (especially by modern rifle bullets) depends on the construction of the bullet. Most military bullets are designed to provide maximum wounding to incapacitate even with missing vital organs and arteries. If medical help is not forthcoming these will be fatal.

Having said that it is good solid post and sound advice!
