I think puncture wounds generally refer to a an object being shoved into the body.  Gunshots are different because you are not only dealing with entry/exit wounds, but also the burn, the shattered fragments, etc.  I might be wrong though.

It really depends on how long ago the incident happened and whether you have completely recovered from it.\n\nIf your punctured lung or pneumothorax was a result of injury, rather than being spontaneous, it is more likely that you will be fit enough to dive.\n\nBut you still need to have your chest examined by a qualified diving physician, before you can be absolutely sure that you're fit enought to go scuba diving. Remember, if in doubt don't. Failing to take precautions can be fatal.

Attempted Murder is not a Capital Offense. For it to be a Capital Offense their must Aggrevating Circumstances. Like killing someone while comitting a armed robbery. Or, doing the killing in a particularly gruesome manner. Like torture.

He died of a gunshot. Most people think it was suicide, but others believe it was murder. Take a look at the source.

i figure you can scream louder when you are wounded. first poke your finger until pain gives you enough adrenaline with the clip then scream the air out of your lungs scream like hell.... now to avoid bleeding to death tie your finger

Supposedly a blood clot.

Well i speak from experience. Being shot is extremely painful and I don't recommend it to any one. First you will feel nothing then, it feels like being hit by an extremely strong force all in one spot of your body, the entrance point. After, it does burn because of the heat created by the bullets rotation in the air. Later a large bruise will form around the wound and it will ache like an SOB.

Dude, you probably cut or scraped the tube inside your penis. You need to see a doctor. This is not only painful but could lead to a very serious infection. I would not wait long either, as some of those infections can become serious in a shot time. Sorry to tell you, but it's really your only choice. I wouldn't be too embarrassed, doctors are use to seeing this type of injury.

A bullet can not really be "traced" to a particular gun but it can be matched with other bullets fired from the same weapon. Most ballistic experts will be able to ascertain the type of gun a bullet was fired from by the bullet type and other characteristics. They can't match a bullet to a gun however until they have the gun in their own hands. \nAt which time they test fire the gun into water or gel and then recover the bullets. It is at this time, that under a microscope they can match the markings on the two bullets. These come from the inside of the gun barrel which is not microscopically smooth.

You probably need to be more specific. LP can mean several things medicly. The most common use of LP is lumbar puncture, or simply called a spinal tap. In this case does LP discribe a procedure or was it something else?

Ahem... No.\n\nIt is called assult with a deadly weapon - and drunk or not, it is illegal and not OK.

You can use absorbable sutures to close a wound if needed.  The more important question would be if the puncture penetrated the globe...then you really have to be cautious to make sure no bacteria has entered the globe or that the retina has become detached.  This can be a very serious injury so you need to get it checked out asap...

Bullets are usually made of lead, with an outer shell of copper. Lead is a known carcinogen. It is not a good idea to mess with it, without the required permits and protection. I don't think it is worth the hassle.

Is this a whole body thing or a infection in a specific location?

I was shot in the left bicep with a .223 british military round. What did I think before? Well before it happened I thought, my god I hope I don't get shot, I hope I shoot the other guy first. When it happened it felt like a really big bee stung me on my arm, and then it started to burn really bad. Afterwards I thought, I hope somebody shot that son of a byatch, and somebody had already.
