Can you die from being shot in the arm or the leg?

If it's not treated, you can bleed to death or die from infection.

You probably won't die.  You'll most likely get dehydrated.

You can relax. When I went to the Philippines a long time ago, I had to go through a series of shots. Yeah, it hurt a bit, and a couple of shots hurt for a couple of days. After a while, you'll see no evidence that you ever had any shots. And the good news is that your arms will be fine. Enjoy the trip.

Only if you broke your leg or something.

I saw the documentary on it. They concluded that it was accidental. He broke his leg and the wound got infected and killed him.

Nope, it actually happens.  A friend of mine who served in Viet Nam actually lost control of his bladder when his platoon was clearing out some wounded troops and they got fired upon.  He jumped into the helicopter and noticed that he had urinated all over himself. \n\nI have never been shot at, so I can't say what I would do.

You mean there is a good way to die??!! Is that an oxymoron? I noticed that the concensus is " In your sleep". Actually I think a lethal arrythmia would be my guess, you know something like V-tach or  V-fib. You would  just pass out and never wake up.

Technically if done right the person would never die. There is nothing fatal to small cuts, especially if there is little or no blood involved. A person can survive losing up to 30% of their blood, any amount beyond that would result in death if not replenished quickly. The average person has 7 liters of blood so you can image it would be a quite substantial amount, roughly 2.1 liters that you'd have to lose to die. I am bored and will do some math for you, I am guessing that a paper cut releases approximately 1ml of blood on average. That would be 2100 cuts. But then again not all paper cuts bleed, and it also depends a bunch on the physical level of the person being cut, if they are older they may have trouble developing clots and may be done in by 1/4 as many cuts due to uncontrollable bleeding. I advice not trying this out as you are almost guaranteed to get some sort of infection even if the cuts do not harm you.

I actually just seen this on t.v. not to long ago, Doctors think they have come out with a cure.  They also have formed some kind of patch that you can put on your arm so that patients don't have to keep giving themselves shots in the stomach. I am not sure how to find out where this info came from, but you may be able to search the web and find out more info. I hope I helped. Good Luck, and try to keep yourself healthy

well, it depends on how much blood loss there is and if there were any organs stuck.  the body is pretty resilient and can take a lot of crap.  i have heard that a shot in the stomach is a slow and painful death but i haven't known anyone that was shot in the stomach to confirm. i saw a picture of a guy that was boating and got catapulted from the boat and flew all the way to the bank and landed groin first on a fence post. the dude was completely impaled and even tho it was disturbing, he survived.  so it just comes down to what the body is capable of.  it also depends a whole lot on blood loss.

It can be broken and swollen, but you can walk on it.\nBut if it is, and you happen to turn/sit/stand/step wrong, it could come right out through the skin and become much more serious.\nInfection, bleeding to death, amputation, do these sound good?\nIf in doubt, go see the Doctor!

I'm not sure but it's not just the arm or leg, that goes for evey part of the body.

Cut off a leg ... it would be less dangerous.

Depend on if you are the person dying or not.\n\nFunniest way I have read quite a while back was a ?Mexican f***ing a chicken in a small crevasse. However whilst he was doing that the rock above him moved, slipped down and he and the chicken were killed. The dude was found trousers down at his feet with the chicken still 'attached'.....

Yes, needles can damage tissue...but there is a "but" to this haha...they can damage the tissue inside your arm if you are repeatedly pricked by a needle in the same spots over and over again, but other than that shots are normal...but yeah, you feel the pain from the needle because the metal is slicing through your otherwise intact skin and that excites your nerve endings...but you are just feeling a little ill from the medicine that was in the shot I think...just get some rest and drink plenty of fluids and take an Advil or something and you should be fine
