I've seen worse, but that is a nice open hole 3 days post shooting.

I don't know what protocol is for GSW's but why wasn't that stitched up?

Probably made bigger by the MD's due to cleaning and such.

Just soak a boresnake in whiskey and run it through a couple times.

Closing up a really dirty wound can cause problems with infection.

Keep it open so that it can drain and infected stuff doesn't get trapped. Let's it heal from the inside out.

Wounds heal in various ways prescribed by the MD based on the situation.

FYI, for people unaware because movies and even books don't do it justice, you don't sew up a puncture wound, you need to let it heal from the inside out. They've known this since ancient Greece/Rome. Sew a puncture and you increase the likelihood it will fester.

Looks like a FMJ. A HP would have done much more damage.

I love how Hollywood is obsessed with removing the bullet, and the moment the bullet is surgically removed all is well.

He's just lucky it wasn't 10mm, the released energy would have caused a Gamma Ray Burst, destroying all life on Earth. --- 10mm people.

Agreed . . . No way was that wound caused by a HP.


It'll be fine.
