[QUOTE="ricco, post: 3767735, member: 46005"] Depends. Unless it's a CNS hit bullets work by causing exsanguination. Most CCW gunfights last less than 10 seconds (watch ASP videos) with the bad guy more often than not running away. Forensic pathologist Dr Vincent Di Miao, the author of the definitve work on gunshot injuries titled "Gunshot Wounds" testified at the George Zimmermen trial that a person with a destroyed heart can remain conscious and able to move as long as there is oxygenated blood in the brain, maybe up to 15 seconds. Injuries to other parts of the body can take much much longer for blood loss to cause unconsciousness. People immediately falling down or no longer fighting is more psychological than physiological in that 15 second or longer time frame. On occasion people will instantly drop unconscious from a gun shot injury that is not a CNS hit. That is called vasovagal syncope, a definition, "Vasovagal syncope (vay-zoh-VAY-gul SING-kuh-pee) [B]occurs when you faint because your body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress[/B]." Mas Ayoob tells a story about a new CCW that wanted his snubby carry revolver not to rust so he sprayed it down with WD-40, he failed to remove the ammo before spraying the WD-40. We know what metal penetrating oil does to primers, right. So our CCW needed his revolver to defend his life, he drew the revolver pointed it at the bad guy, pulled the trigger, it went click and the bad guy dropped to the ground unconcious. The entire testimony is worth listening to but if you are only interested pertinent information skip to 1:00:00. As an aside, the defense attorney questioning Dr Di Maio is Don West, he is now National Trial Counsel for CCW Safe. [MEDIA=youtube]jnBYWDllKlY[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
