No, if a handgun bullet hits you you're in serious danger of dying no matter where it hits unless it's like...the toe or something. The shock of a bullet hitting you alone is enough to kill a person, then you're at serious risk of blood loss. it's supposed to depend on the caliber. for example, the primary issue with the 1986 FBI shootout was supposed to be largely that they were issued low caliber weapons, with only a handful of rounds. this led to wide-scale changes in the kinds of firearms that were issued to law enforcement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_FBI_Miami_shootout The incident is infamous in FBI history and is well-studied in law enforcement circles. Despite outnumbering the suspects 4 to 1, the agents found themselves pinned down by suppressive rifle fire and unable to respond effectively. Although both Matix and Platt were hit multiple times during the shootout, Platt fought on and continued to wound and kill agents. This incident led to the introduction of more effective handguns in the FBI and many police departments around the United States. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04dUCT-qO3c --- *The truth basks in scrutiny.* http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png <cite>Sahuagin posted [p:896756331] in What is an...
