Quick question - I can't find an answer and Yahoo/other answer places are useless
Does anyone know if it's better or worse for a bullet to exit the body upon entering it?
I understand it's bad that the bullet's already gone IN and that it can bounce about and do loads of damage, but I was wondering (for the purpose of something I'm writing) if the bullet then exiting the body would make things worse or not.
I guess with an exit wound you have TWO holes you have to stop bleeding and suchlike, but with no exit wound you have a lump of metal somewhere in their body.
Anyone know?
