I did not know you could die from a gunshot on your leg

Big artery up there. It’s an easier kill shot than the heart, for some...

[Trailerpark Badass]

Femoral artery. Bisect that and there is no way to put enough pressure on it yourself to slow the bleeding.

You'll bleed out in minutes.

You have obviously not hunted wild boars.

[Thane_Banquo]

There is a major artery that runs through the thigh. If you get hit there, you’ll bleed out real quick.

Sever an artery and you can bleed out pretty quickly.

[Lurker]

Its called the femoral artery and you can bleed out from it in less than 60 seconds.

[Secret Agent Man]

Dude you have large arteries and veins in your leg. You can bleed out in a little over a minute, enough to lose consciousness and then die.

Did you see Blackhawk Down? There was a scene in the movie like that. Any hit to any artery will result in a massive loss of blood.

So I am a little late, but it can and I am glad. He should have shot her immediately.. as she obviously did.

[Ernie Kaputnik]

Absolutely.

I suspect the bullet hit her in the fermoral artery. A person can “bleed-out” PDQ from that artery.
