Why are some serious injuries like a bullet entering the abdomen relatively painless but other such as a burn considerably more painful?

The skin has a very rich, abundant network of nerves so if only a small amount of skin is crushed or damaged, many special types of nerves known as (Adelta fibres) are damaged, leading to that sharp, agonising and shooting pain you get.
However, if you get stabbed, it is generally a small area of skin that is damaged, but the internal organs below may be damaged. However, these have poor localisation of pain, giving more a dull ache.

However, I do believe a gunshot wound hurts very much indeed!
