Best Answer

The term "flesh wound" describes a wound where the bullet does not damage a bone. Flesh wounds can be roughly grouped into those which hit mainly muscle and fat, versus those that damaged vital organs and major arteries. People usually survived bullets hitting muscle and fatty tissue, but they rarely survived wounds to the internal organs.
