9mm Pandemonium
You know the steel bars they use in construction? Imagine someone puts a steel bar in a fire and makes it red-hot, then stabs you with that. It's a stabbing that enters and exits.
Reader's Digest published an article in December 2006 documenting an interview with a gunshot survivor.
Bullets leave the muzzle of guns at different velocities, depending on the type of gun. Rifles have muzzle velocities close to 900 metres per second, handguns have much lower velocities, around 400 metres per second. Wind resistance and obstructions slow down the bullet, which has to travel at around 60 metres per second to puncture human skin. The entry wound is usually small and round, but because the bullet is spinning, it tears through the tissue under that small wound.
When the bullets entered, I felt like something was expanding in me.
As the bullet tears through flesh, it starts to deform and tear through a larger cross-section area of tissue. Also, the force of the bullet causes the bullet hole to temporarily expand outwards; this is known as the cavitation effect. The bullet leaves "shock waves" in its wake and in some cases, this shock wave does more damage than the bullets themselves.
They came around and shot me in the head. It felt like a piece of steel. But it only grazed the top of my skull, leaving an indent.
90 percent of gunshot wounds to the head are fatal. If a bullet hits bone, the bone may fracture, sending fragments tearing within the body. Most gunshot victims die from internal bleeding. Even if a person was shot in a vital organ such as the heart, he still has up to 10 seconds of purposeful action before the brain suffocates from the shortage of fresh oxygen.
I looked at my wounds. The entrance would was like a little circle, about 1.5cm wide. The exit wound was like a tear, more than 3 cm wide, like a half-moon shape.
When someone fires a gun, he probably does not see the consequences of that action? The act of pulling the trigger will in all likelihood kill the victim. Beyond that, that bullet leaves broken hearts and families in its wake. That act tears through the fabric of society, of helping one another, of universal brotherhood amongst all men. -Jimmy
