Connor Narciso, former combat medic and Army Green Beret who served in Afghanistan, says don’t let movies and TV fool you.
It’s possible to survive being shot, multiple times even, but it largely comes down to the path those bullets take. That tremor can cause serious damage to your organs and tissues, even if the bullet doesn’t actually hit them.Īfter the bullet tears into your flesh, fate rolls the dice. All that momentum has to go somewhere, so the bullet transfers it to your body, causing it to expand and create a large cavity, then falling back in on itself. A 9mm bullet, which is typically fired from handguns used for self-defense and by police, travels at a speed of about 900 mph. For starters, when a bullet enters your body, your flesh absorbs a great deal of the momentum the bullet was carrying. But beyond the obvious hole a bullet makes in your flesh, there’s a lot more damage happening on the inside. After all, there’s a reason guns haven’t changed a whole lot in the last several hundred years: they’re effective. What a Bullet Does to Your Body By now, you probably know that a bullet can punch its way into the human body pretty well.
