A Fort Drum soldier was shot through the chest with a .50 cal round back in the late 1980s or early ‘90s. He was doing maintenance on a mounted weapon and didn’t follow procedures.
I know he lived long enough to be airlifted to a Syracuse hospital (about 80 miles). I don’t know his long-term outcome, but my recollection is he survived.
Although most people think it’s worse getting shot at close range than from afar, physics says otherwise. The bullet accelerates at a rate until it reaches max velocity. At close range it is not at max velocity. Now maybe it will hurt you worse at close range, like a 22 slug bouncing around inside you versus it going straight through you, but the answer IMO is where it hits you is the most important part!
