The survivability of a bullet wound to the femoral artery is dependent on many factors. The most important factors are the severity and location of the bleeding and the availability of advanced medical care. The size of the victim, the possibility of infection, and the activity of the victim after being shot are all also extremely important.
Serious bleeding from the femoral artery must be properly treated immediately. A few minutes can be all that is necessary for the wound to guarantee permanent disability such as brain damage or the need for amputation. A wound to the upper femoral artery caused by a direct shot from a heavy rifle slug is likely to kill within ten minutes.

What are the dangers of losing a lot of blood from the femoral artery?
You can die, If your Femoral artery gets cut you will be given a few minutes to live.
Can you live without a carotid artery?
This artery supplies blood to the brain so it is very necessary
How long can you live with a severed artery?
It depends on which artery. If your femoral artery is severed, you have minutes to live without immediate medical attention. Same for the Carotid artery in your neck, or the jugular vein in your neck. If the aorta artery feeding your heart goes, same thing. I would say the smaller the artery, the longer you may have to live before you bleed out. The biggest life threat as far as arterial bleeds is the aorta. If any part of the aorta ruptures, a surgeon couldn't save you if he already had you cut open on the table. Essentially, if the aorta ruptures, it will only take about 3 beats of the heart to bleed out. The further away from the heart you get, the slower the bleed will be, but any compromised artery is potentially life threatening. The femoral artery in the thigh (the femur is the thigh bone, hence the name fermoral) is another big bleeder. The carotid is the second biggest life threat if it's compromised. So basically, if the aorta ruptures, 3 heart beats. If the carotid ruptures, perhaps 2 minutes. If the femoral is severed, perhaps 5 minutes. The difference is that the carotid and the femoral arteries can be controlled with proper treatment. The aorta is untreatable once it's compromised.
