Effects of a gunshot wound
My character is hit by two bullets, modern-day setting, standard police handgun.
First wound: bullet grazes his face, just over the cheekbone. Will the wound be bleeding or more of a burn be plausible? (I want the burn)
Second wound: ricochet enters his leg. The bullet stops against the bone without breaking it. Is this plausible or will the bullet have too much force? He's about five meters away from his shooter.
I am planning on having him run fifteen more meters before he collapses. Is that possible with such a wound?
Someone helps him stop the bleeding as he can't go to a hospital. It takes 20 minutes. Will he be able to recognize his sister and ask her what she's doing there, or will he be unconscious/in too much pain?
How will the pain be after one day after the bleeding is stopped and the wound is treated (stitched, bullet removed by someone who knows what they are doing, still outside hospital setting)? Will he need drugs to dull the pain or will it be "ok" without them?
