Maybe I missed that particular point but how did he get shot?
Yeah, I scrolled down hoping it would say. Remarkable none the less. Makes me very glad (scrap that, thank god) I live in the UK where carrying deadly weapons isn't seen as a right.

#23Maybe I'm missing something, but what kind of units are "foot pounds per square inch"? That's definitely not a pressure...
A foot pound is the amount of force required to move a pound of material one foot. By adding a surface area it becomes a measure of pressure.

Whew! It's a good thing too ... stopping all that senseless accidental shootings from law abiding citizens. Many the criminal will take the hint. Oh wait ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/5712573...

It's force per unit area, sounds like pressure.

#27Fascinating story... More than the shotgun (I would spect to die and Im not very curious on that matter) what really intrigues me is what would I feel after 10 years of zero sexual activity. Sexual feelings are really strong, that has to cause real pain through the years, I dont know if being grateful of being alive could easily overcome them
Shotgun?

#28I know an ex-intelligence officer. He's been shot multiple times, and says that getting shot really hurts. I assume it was even worse than usual for him since he was in the field and couldn't quite waltz into the nearby hospital for treatment.
He also says getting shot is worse when you're running away from someone than when it takes you by surprise. He said some other things, but I don't really remember them.
