If a person gets shot in the back with a 22caliber bullet will the bullet travel in the body?

it depends where, what angle . if the bullet is led no it will splatter on a bone but it might go in the tissue and it depends how far you are up close it will go right though you! but if you were standing on a 4 story building and a person shoots from the ground you, will be like a paint ball it depends where, what angle . if the bullet is led no it will splatter on a bone but it might go in the tissue and it depends how far you are up close it will go right though you! but if you were standing on a 4 story building and a person shoots from the ground you, will be like a paint ball


Can a bullet fire from body heat?

No, it cannot. The maximum amount of heat that a human body can generate at the skin level is around 110 degrees fahrenheit. This is far below the temperature range which would cause spontaneous ignition of the propellant in a modern bullet. Even black powder won't ignite at that low a temperature.It is possible for a bullet to discharge by the force of a body falling on it, but that is extremely unlikely.(and remember, when you say "bullet", what you really should say is "cartridge" - the "bullet" is only the lead/steel portion being expelled out the front, while "cartridge" includes the brass body and propellant as well).


Can a bullet knock someone over?

Yes, a bullet can potentially knock someone over with the force of impact. However, there are many variables that can influence the effect of a bullet, such as the caliber of the bullet, the distance it is fired from, and where it strikes the body.

Why didnt they take out the bullet out?

They dont need to take the bullet out in many cases. Doctors will evaluate if it is safe to remove the bullet or not. It is not unusual to hear a bullet lodged in to a skull or spinal cord to be left in the body. Due to friction between the bullet and barrel plus the atmosphere by the time bullet reaches the body its already too hot and perfectly sterilised. There is no risk of infection from the bullet. Lead poisoning can only happen when there is oxidation. As oxigen can not reach the lead in the body it is safe to leave it in rather than causing more damage to the body trying to take it out.

Can you bleed to death by a bullet?

A bullet will create a wound. You might survive a gunshot depending on where it hits you. But, yes, you might bleed to death by a gunshot wound. Worse, if the bullet hits you in the head or any other vital organs you might die from other reasons than bleeing out. Bleeding out might also be prevented by before it gets critical by apllying pressure or blocking of the part of the body that is wounded.
