Hi all, I was wondering if the human kind are adapting to guns and the kind of damage they make. Because back in the 19th century, there weren't many records of people getting shot 5 times in the stomach and survivng, but now we have reports of ordinary people getting shot several times with automactic weapons in the semi- critical areas and surving. So, what are your thoughts?
Better medical treatments.

The technology and advancement of medicine... obviously.
Yup. Back in those days, you wouldn't see people making it through cancer, either.Mr.Casual wrote:

Not only better medical treatments, but the bullets of yesteryear were large balls of lead of like .58 or .60 calibre, much larger than any of todays standard bullet sizes. Then again our bullets go faster, so I would just say better medical treatment is the main part of it all.
Bullets are smaller now, that is why.
Medical Treatment improvements. Back then it was "Scratched leg eh....AMPUTATION!"
Not medical treatments. Smaller caliber weapons.
18 th century ball rounds were musket rifles firing .50 cal led ball rounds. Basically a led golf ball with a LOT of powder behind it. Very accurate and deadly this round would simply blow your arm or leg right off if hit. It more like a blunt trauma force that keeps going, right through the body.
Todays bullets have are simply smaller. Like 9mm for instance. Nickie Scarfo the Famous Mob boss of Philadelphia's Son got shot 9 times with a semi automatic at point blank range. He got shot in the neck TWICE! 3 times in the chest and 4 times in the torso and legs. He survived. 9mm at that close range goes right through a person. The bullet doesn't yaw or ricochet amongst the bones/intestines and shit.

I'd have to go with medical treatmeants, because back in the 19th century, bullets probably didn't yaw or fragement in soft tissue.jonnykill wrote:
