Depends on the place of shot. # On the stomach it will take a few minutes. The acid from the stomach will eat away at al your internal organs. The longest time ever to live after being shot in the stomach was 23 minutes. # In the heart there is instant death, but your muscles keep working by muscle memory. # Leg, Hand, Arm, Foot. Might now be able to walk or pick up any thing.
