NEVER ATTEMP TO TAKE OUT THE BULLET.

[gunguide]

Great info. Thanks a lot.

[whole27]

When you get shot, you must attempt to shoot the bullet out of your body by aiming at where you think the bullet is embedded in your body. Most likely, the second bullet won't be lodged in your body.....but if it is, you must release a third bullet! This is the only way!

Give me a thumbs up if you appreciate my advice!

All wrong... You need vitals before you apply such a dressing. A blood pressure and heart rate at least.

Dont use vaseline on any wound, for any reason. Open a sterile package. Use the cloth inside to remove excess blood, and then use the inside of the package to cover the wound. Leave at least a few inches on the edges so the plastic cannot be sucked into the wound. Tape on 3 sides to allow for drainage. If the patient gets worse after application, REMOVE THE COVERING. Cover with your hand

@superrhino100 whether or not the bullet penetrates the lung you will get a sucking chest wound! the cavity around you lungs is kept at a lower pressure than the atmosphere, this enables you to draw air into your lungs, if this cavity gets punctured then the pressure will try to equalise through the hole, once this happens your lungs collapse.

@diniliful I never said it couldn't penetrate the lung asswhole...I was pointing out that not every gun shot wound to the chest hits a lung...you people can't fucking read either apparently!

[diniliful]

@superrhino100 you're right sir, there's absolutely no way for a bullet to penetrate a super hard human lung.

[hellyeahdrum]

@superrhino100 superdummy100 is well know for being dumb fool on youtube. You can easily find people pointing out his stupidity all over this place in countless videos. Trool the trools people. They are trying to act smart and when you can prove them wrong it really hurts them bad. It is the opposite of what they are looking for. Superrhino100, you continue to amaze me and amuse me with your stupidity. Maybe one of these days you will learn your dummy spot in this world, hahaha!!!

[myspacecomrogiie]

just curious wat is biggest risk of taking out bullet yourself ? my guess is infections but if there are other answers that would be great

[superrhino100]

@13wraps There won't be air in the chest cavity if there is nothing wrong with the lung.

[13wraps]

@superrhino100 what about the chest cavity losing compression?
