At first there is no sensation at all other than the feeling of the force of impact, then you see the effect and the brain can start causing symtoms of shock. The cells around the wound are flooded with blood that contains oxygen, when there is too much oxygen the cells react to the heat (Just as the cells of a cut open apple, the cells in the apple start to burn up and die...the browning of the surface is this reation to too much oxygen) by sending the nervous system signals that they are burning up..(thus the term, inflammation) as the signals get to the brain the brain tells the area affected to feal the pain...at which time the a fire like burning sensation will be felt... Pressure on the area will prevent the area from filling with to much fluid containing oxygen...this will relieve the pain as the cells go back to there quiesent (nutral condition). The symtoms of shock however may vary...the brain may cause you to faint/passout from the shock of seeing the wound...The brain may start to shut down other parts of the body to protect itself from dying. Panic is another symtom that can cause more symtoms or cause you to hurt yourself more.

getting shot say in the arm or ankel feels like some one hitting you full pelr with a hammer

If unlucky.. I imagine dead.

I have had multiple small caliber bullets in my cheat 10 different times. The first time it was tremendous pain and it seemed like the bullets would never stop going in me. after I was down i kinda of felt neat, The other times it happened it felt cool. It is cool lying on the ground dressed in a light colored suit after being shot in the chest and feeling the blood ooze out of your body. it is the way I want to die.

Apparently it can also feel like a very bad bee sting.

put your fingers flat out on a table. get your other hand, make a fist. slam the fist onto the fingers of your other hand as hard as you can. times that pain by 1000. and thats what it feels like.

Absolute pain. Been shot in the leg

I was a Corporal in 'Nam. I was shot in the leg twice. Believe me. It hurts real bad. At first, you can't think. Then, you think the unthinkable. It feels as if you were stung by a poisonous bug that was 5 feet wide 9 feet tall. It feels like years, when it is only as long as you stay up before you pass out from exhaustion and wake in a hospital.

I got shot in the gut by a perp - I didn't feel anything but a bit of a punch. Looking down I saw the red stain spreading across my short and a flow of blood running over my belt onto my pants - I grabbed at the area, but couldn't stop the bleeding - I felt dizzy and leaned back against the wall and slid down and called for help. My shirt, pants, and hands were all red and warm- in the hospital hours later a white hot pain started - but not as bad as when I had kidney stones - then I had pain for a couple weeks...

I can imagine very painful, but only if it hits your bone.

Hi my name is Brian Skanzenovi born in russia raised in america and i used to be in the U.S. army, i remember 1 day when i was on duty when a german nazi came out at me and sprayed me with an mp40, at first i thought to myslef this is it, time to die and then thats when 6 bullets at least hit me in my arm, legs, and chest. at first it was like having a baseball thrown at me at 153 mph and then thats when the painful burning sensation came and hit me hard. it felt like somebdy took a hot searing knife and put it in my wound repeatedly, it was very painful but only for a couple of minutes, thats when i blacked out and woke up in the hands of my comrad blood was everywhere i looked at him and he looked at me for a split second then thats when a flair of bullets came wizzing buy hitting my comrad, then i used all my strength to cral to the nearest bush i could find, and then i blacked out agian next thing you know i was in a german hospital facility they took care of me and treated me with kind. my first thought was are they going to kill me and torture me but they didnt. i got out in the next couple of weeks ready to fight with my comrads again. summary its hurts but stay calm when u stay calm it will hurt much less trust me.

my friend had been shot in the stomach and he told me it didnt hurt much till he relized what happend and he saw the blood then he felt weak then he passed out and woke up in the hospital a few hours later

When I was shot , I did not even know it .. until my partner told me that I was bleeding from my upper back shoulder blade .. We bandaged it with our hankerchiefs and i was taken to an E/R ... No pain really ... +5

I was hit the the vest with a .357. Felt like getting hit with a sledgehammer swung by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Been shot in the leg by a .45. The bullet went straight through. Like a hot fire at first but the pain lessened after, as I started to get dizzy. I passed out and was at the hospital....................... then this lady came in and started pulling my leg............................. just like i'm pulling yours...haha
