    I do not want to get an MRI with bullets or shrapnel inside of me. So yes let's get th!t stuff out. Especially since you don't know what germs were on the debris that got dragged inside with that bullet. Yeah?

    Its stayed true and common because especially in war because of the geneva convention forces use full metal jacket ammo which doesent fragment upon impact of the body leaving less chances that something got somewhere besides the main wound track and could cause damage over time combined with the fact that modern weapons use aerodynamicaly formed bullets instead of musket balls which creates even less tissue damage and also the modern rounds have a high chance of complete pass-through so for most bullet wounds that arent messin with internal organs your gonna be fine if you keep it clean, get the blood to clot, and properly dress the wound. I got shot in the calf with a snaller caliber like a 22 or maybe a 38 as a kid just a random round hit me no idea who it wss where it came from nothing people were shooting 100 maybe 150yarss in the distance and one must of missed the burm and got me but it didnt even knock me down it was just like a really bad bee sting, i went owie for a few seconds saw a little hole and blood and walked home thinking it was a bbgun or something although the hole was big enough to stick pinkey in but i just dumped iso on it, some disinfectant powder, took some tweasers to see if i could feel anything to pull out but it was way to deep so i just used some super glue to seal the wound and changed my bandages daily and i was as good as new and you know 13 years later i have no problems lol

    Because SOMETIMES it's too detrimental to go in & dig for them. They will seed themselves, scar tissue will grow around them & u'll probably NEVER have a problem from it. My husband was shot TWICE in a carjacking & BOTH bullet's were left inside. NO Metal Detector's didn't go off at the airport & no never had an issue from them. Your's Truly Gen X Woman Mom and Wife 🕊️ P. S. They DID follow the path of the bullets & cleaned it out, make sure there's NO debris, bone & shards/metal from the bullet
