In TV dramas, we often see such plots: a person is hit by a bullet, but still has strong combat effectiveness, especially in anti-Japanese themed film and television dramas. This raises questions about how long it will take to survive after being hit. However, the reality is varied. After all, depending on where the bullet hits the human body, it causes a difference in the speed at which life passes, so it is impossible to give a definite time.
In some cases, a person dies immediately after being hit by a bullet;But there are also people who are able to move freely after being pierced by bullets. When a bullet hits a person, it makes a person incapable of resisting, which is known as the stopping effect. There are many factors that affect this effect, such as the type of bullet, the piercing ability, the caliber, and the location of the hit. Different parts of the body are hit to cause different levels of damage.
If a bullet hits a fatal part, such as the head or heart, the injured person is immediately incapacitated, recovery is extremely difficult, and the victim is immediately unconscious. In addition to these two fatal areas, arteries and lungs are also dangerous areas. Lung injuries can lead to severe hemorrhage, making it impossible for the body to breathe properly and eventually suffocating to death. The major arteries are where the blood flows the fastest, and once injured, the victim dies due to massive blood loss.
In anti-Japanese film and television dramas, some protagonists are shot multiple times in the chest, but they are still able to fight the enemy, which makes people feel unreal. However, in real life, a chest injury can cause severe damage to the lungs and make it impossible to continue fighting. As a result, some veterans sneered at this and warned viewers not to be misled by the TV series. As we all know, there are some non-lethal parts of the human body, and as long as the lethal area is avoided, the remaining parts are considered non-lethal.
For example, a human arm, even if it is pierced by a bullet or pierced by a bone, is nothing to the human body as long as it does not bleed too much. Strong willpower can make a person's ability to fight back unlimited. In addition, some seemingly serious injuries, such as abdominal penetration, do not immediately discourage a person from fighting back. Although the penetrating power of a bullet after it has a great impact on the human body, it is sometimes not very serious, like a penetrating wound.
However, if the bullet remains inside the body, it will cause new damage as the bullet will roll sideways inside the body, resulting in new damage. The bullet spins at high speed when it is fired, but if it is blocked in the human body, it cannot continue moving, causing the bullet to tumble in the human body. This will cause more damage to the human body, as well as large areas of tissue, which is also the reason why the external injury is small but the internal damage is large. As a result, the penetration force of a firearm with a longer range is less harmful to the human body.
However, no matter how great the piercing ability of the bullet is, if it hits the vital point, the ability of the person to fight back is definitely lost. After all, the damage caused by the bullet penetrating these parts is irreversible, and it is natural that there is no ability to resist. Therefore, those episodes in the TV series do not correspond to reality.
