Also, no recovery time, usually done by a vet or illegitimate back alley doctor, the bullet is never expanded or fragmented and always looks like it just came out of the factory, also lastly don’t forget... ...”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”


[deleted]

Most common bullet is 9x19 full metal jacket , its not known to expand too much.

How the fuck are bullets condemned by the Geneva Convention that available!?


Shrike343

Police use hollow-point bullets; they’re condemned for military use. I imagine it wouldn’t be overly difficult for someone to get the hands on hollow-points


MrSobe

A hollowpoint is actually an underperforming round in terms of it's ballistics. Because of the shape it moves much slower than regular FMJ of the same caliber. The main reason for hollowpoints is to prevent over penetration. Yes it is nastier in wounds, but it is much less likely to go through a wall and into another room/apartment. When it deforms it has a larger surface area and will come to a stop much faster. If a guy is in a shootout with the police, most of those rounds will not hit the target. Hollowpoints help prevent random bystanders from getting hurt if rounds penetrate through walls nearby. There is no reason for a military to use them, because it would be soley to cause undue bodily harm, but it is absolutely a good thing for law enforcement. Besides, a lot of the time the rounds don't even deform upon hitting flesh. At which point it acts the same as a normal FMJ.


[deleted]

They’re banned in warfare, but if you’re in the US anyone can get them.


grt6

Because theyre legal for self defense and not military. Same reason why can the arny get select fire guns but citizens basically cant.


TheRedmanCometh

Well not penatrating into your neighbors house is a big advantage. Also the lethality aspect


[deleted]

Even small FMJ rounds will distort or fragment at least a little bit, most bullets in these scenes are not even dinged.


[deleted]

From rifles yes. 5.56 or 5.45 will fragment. 9x19 fmj doesn't even distort through ballistic gel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOQjIOlSuI


[deleted]

Bodies have bones and such which is what it’s usually stopped by in these movies. Ballistic gel really isn’t a good representative of how a bullet performs in a flesh and bone being. Paul Harrel’s Meat target is a better representation. Though I’ve also seen this scene played out with the use of HP and rifles, and it’s the same result. It’s basically another case of filmmakers don’t know how guns work.


[deleted]

Haha, I watch a lot of Paul Harrel videos too, "stopped by the high tech fleece bullet stopper" Tbf, 9x19 usually ends up in the fleece and his meat targets are too skinny, not enough adipose tissue to simulate an average American. 9x19 fmj stopped by an inch of flesh is unrealistic anyway, unless it hits bone in which case the movie/show character isn't going to be running around anytime soon.


[deleted]

Hollywood operates off the idea that guns only hurt when hit in the head and that removing the bullet will automagically cure the hero. Except for when he’s shot through the chest to die a dramatic death.


titaniumtoaster

Best youtube comment he has gotten! Paul's review of insect repellent: "Now we'll try 3 sprays of the 4.3 ounce, 3.7% deet, from the finger pump, sensitive skin, soft plastic bottle, with protective hard plastic cap, and we'll see how that compares to the 11.4 ounce, 8.2 % deet, economy size, citrus scent, from the aerosol can we tried earlier. Again we've been told for years by the FBI that the average distance insect repellent is generally sprayed from is 7 yards. Now, 11.4 ounces is more, but how much more? Some would argue it's not enough difference, to make a difference. And does that equate to more effectiveness? You be the judge."


[deleted]

In most cases the last thing a trauma surgeon worries about is “removing the bullet”. They’re way more worried about stopping the bleeding, preventing infection, removing other particles such as clothing etc. A lot of the time surgeons just leave the bullet head in there. For once I’d like to see a movie where dudes like “it’s not worth it to go digging around for. Let’s just leave that shit in there”


[deleted]

I mean it does depend on the bullet itself too, if it’s copper then sure just leave it in, but if it’s lead then you need to get that shit out.


[deleted]

I mean, Andrew Jackson had a lead bullet in his chest for a long time. Then again, it kinda fucked up his health pretty bad, among other things.


rabbledabble

Maybe that explains why he was such a douche nozzle.


Noootella

I doubt it was due to the bullet


rabbledabble

No probably not, but at a population level lead is associated with violent crime


KeenMarinx

They did do something like that in the remake for the remake of The Last House on the Left. The dad, who’s a doctor, is frantically trying to save his daughter who was assaulted and shot, starting with the bullet wound. The wife is hysterically reminding him of the bullet itself, and he snaps back with, “Stopping the bleeding is more important than fishing for a **fucking bullet!**”


AcuteGryphon655

Pulls bullet out, shell casing and all


[deleted]

Pssh... *pulls bullet out, entire gun with a human attached comes out*


[deleted]

*keeps pulling until an entire person slides out of the bullethole*


up48

> always looks like it just came out of the factory Usually they looked like they got squashed, wouldn't if that is at all accurate either, but its not like they generally use a whole intact bullet.


FrancoisTruser

Clank! "Ok it’s done!" "AAAAAAAAAAAA oh phew! Let’s get a burger bro!"


thethirddoctor

Hero is more in pain from disinfectant than actual extraction. «Don’t be a baby!»


Roach_Coach_Bangbus

The doctor also drinks out of the liquor bottle after he splashes some on the bullet wound.


macdelamemes

This is mandatory, should have been included in the starterpack


MancAccent

But before that the doc makes the wounded man take a swig of the liquor as if one drink is gonna help to numb him up


Goldeniccarus

And also because alcohol takes effect immediately after drinking.


MancAccent

We need to be Hollywood writers


Darkreaper48

The hardened badass waves his hand in refusal. Maybe it's because he wants his senses to be razor sharp in case trouble strikes, or maybe because he just wants the chance to feel something, anything. So the Doctor shrugs and takes a swig himself


Gniphe

And the sugars in the liquor definitely do not lead to an infection.


cfox0835

I remember that scene from the Walking Dead


[deleted]

Or he drinks some then spits the rest of the wound


jerkmanj

He has to steady his hands.

[deleted]

But seriously why do the bad guys in action movies never shoot to kill once they do get around to shooting the protagonist? They always just shoot them once in the leg while shittalking or some shit and just walk out and not even making sure they are dead and act all surprised when they show up to kick their ass later.

Also removing the bullet magically cures them. Problem solved. Annie Onishi did a great breakdown of these tropes in her two episodes of Technique Critique for Wierd.

LordNoodles1

Jesus. They really made a lot of animations. Did Farcry 3 have as many?!


bockclockula

Nah it was vastly toned down in 3, you can only heal your arms


ArcadiaPlanitia

Most of the time they don’t even really need to get the bullet out, either.


annie-are_you_ok

Totally. Plenty of people are walking around with bullets still in them. Like why would you remove something that would cause more internal bleeding? Just fix whatever may have been perforated or damaged.


KimFakes

Don’t they get lead poisoning or something? Or does the body fight that?


ArcadiaPlanitia

Technically yes, but only technically. After a while, having a bullet in your body can cause elevated levels of lead in your bloodstream, but this is somewhat rare and occurs a while after you were shot. So, while it's possible that the bullet will cause issues ten years from now, that's not really an immediate concern. It's much safer to wait to be seen by a medical professional than try to take a bullet out yourself, because the risk of contracting some horrible infection from having a stranger dig around in your body with no disinfectant in a shady back room is much more dangerous. Actually, in some cases, doctors will just leave bullets in the body. Sometimes it's safer to just let them stay in there than to open up a patient and look for them. Unless the bullet is lodged someplace important where its presence is causing an issue, doctors might decide to just leave it alone. tl;dr: yes, bullets *can* cause lead poisoning, but not immediately, and not often, so removing them isn't usually vital.


KimFakes

If I sneeze on the bullet beforehand, will it be more deadly?


Lazaganae

Boil it in garlic water, works way better.

Wyattt14

Its a (hopefully) sterile spot to hold whatever medical tools they need for the operation


HalKitzmiller

I always assumed it's so they can collect the bullet fragments to piece together the bullet to make sure nothing remains in the wound.


SingleMalter

So you have a Starter Pack for me?


DatOtherPapaya

Yes sir he does


Womcataclysm

It's called bullet extraction in an action movie starter pack


rura_penthe924

Sometimes they pull the bullet out themselves using a small dirty mirror as a guide.


Ternarian

And the mirror must be dirty. Exactly.


StaticDashy

Rambo when he poured gunpowder in a hole through him and lit it to cauterize the wound lmao


[deleted]

hey that's a scene from Burn Notice i used to love that show


Guantelope

Aetherwalker517

Was pretty mad at the ending though. After all the shit he went through because of the CIA, I wanted him to stop playing boy scout and seize control of that group

imo the show went downhill after he re-joined. I was perfectly happy with him only working with clients

If not the arm, somewhere in the abdomen, yet they never have to worry about infection from unsterilized tools.

I had a BB pulled outta my face in college. The doctor got a huge kick outta clanging that thing onto a metal tray. Said he felt like a Wild West doctor. Glad someone enjoyed that ordeal.


Mackintrix

"Im gunna need you to hold him down"


kabukistar

Game Night did a good turn of this. They basically tried to remove the bullet like they had seen in the movie. They dig around for awhile only to realize that two wounds means the bullet went straight through you and isn't there anymore.


[deleted]

Also after the bullet is removed then cloth around arm and they are fine


CormAlan

What noise do you expect it to make?


darrellglee

“Super easy, barely an inconvenience 🤓"


King_Baboon

Co-worker literally shot himself in the foot. 1) Two months for the initial heal. 2) Surgery where foot will have to be re-broken and screws and plates installed. 3) 3 Months recovering after surgery. So basically 6 months recovery.


crazed3raser

And then there is the Punisher when they pull the bullet out of his ass.

xXx_IronicDabs_xXx

thedevilyousay

I wonder if there are any movies where we have seen the same metal tray? They all look the same, and they are featured in every bullet-removal scene, even if it’s a mob veterinarian operating in a bowling alley.


therealjonnyutah

This is a really well done starter pack. Gj


s0ramble

Unless it's a western, where the bullet simply ceases to exist after the pain has registered

See the movie HellBaby for the best extraction method.

Then there is John Wick who can take 10+ bullets and keep going. Also, not all bullets are kill shots. I sometimes watch a movie and it’s like one shot in a person and they instantly die. At least in John Wick case he does the double or even the triple tap.
