Details on being shot in the hand/amputation
I have a character whom I want to be shot in the hand and need to have it amputated. Since it's the POV character I'm trying to get details on how the injury would realistically look and what the character's reaction would be. Would they just have a hole in their hand, and in what part, or would part of it be blown off?
I was thinking after they're shot, they would pass out from shock and wake up with their hand gone, but I don't know if that's how it would work. I tried various search terms like "shot in the hand" "shot in the hand amputate" "amputating hands" etc. but I am mostly getting stuff about shooting accidents and Civil War medicine and...weird stuff that is gross and unhelpful. I figure with all the injury questions in this community someone here probably knows right away!
Setting: Fantasy world with 1920s-era technology, but no access to an actual hospital.
Thanks!!
