there are varied variables. lots of people who get shot interior the leg flow abode interior hours. If the bullet hits the femoral artery, they won't even make it to the medical institution till now they bleed out. If a nerve is hit they could be in for actual medical preserve an prolonged time and nevertheless no longer recuperate each of using the limb. If the bullet hits the bone surgical operation could be extra complicated and the medical institution stay and restoration longer. Then there are continuously problems alongside with an infection, etc.

If they hit the femorial artery they are most likely D.R.T (Dead Right There). If they get a wound that they do not bleed out from the chances of survival are almost 100% as they can be treated for any subsequent infection. Likely symptoms from a GSW to the leg are infection and limited mobility depending on bone mass hit, caliber/velocity of the round, etc.

Depends on the seriousness of the wound in the way of depth, whether the would was properly cleaned, and disinfected. If none of this was done, infection could set in, if major veins and arteries were damaged, gangrene could set in, requiring amputation of the leg.

I assume you were shot and lost a lot of blood because your spelling and grammar are terrible.....?
The person would probably bleed to death. They'd go into shock and become unconscious, then die. If the bullet hit an artery, then death would come much quicker. Shock would render them unable to move, talk or think.

well the leg would probably need to be amputated and they might die depending on how much blood was lost .. if its longer they would get an infection that might kill them but hopefully not..
