First you establish and maintain an open airway, good breathing, and good circulation/heartbeat. The bleeding must be controlled with pressure and possibly a tourniquet. High flow oxygen as well as two IVs to replace the fluid lost by bleeding.
Any other treatment depends on where the wound is on the body.
Gunshots are definitively treated with surgery, our job is to keep them alive until they reach the hospital.
In most cases, you can survive a pellet gun shot, but it will be painful, or worse. If you are hit just right (or wrong) you could die, so don't treat it lightly.
First call 911. Control bleeding best as possible; likely there will be a sucking chest wound and putting a barrier over it so patient can breathe is strong possibility. CPR may also be required as well.

It can leave everything from a welt to penetrating the skin and doing physical damage. Always treat a pellet gun like a firearm.
There is no patron saint of gun shot injuries.

Well it depends where the bullet pierced the skin. It also depends on the caliber or feet per second of the gun. Another factor is distance. But in the long run it may be if you dont treat it properly.
