...applying pressure to the superficial head wound on the first guy to be shot were “medics.” Apparently the guy was bleeding out from the wounds in the back and groin, while they applied pressure to a wound that wasn’t really bleeding.

We noticed that. The victim was bleeding from either the mouth or nose and they kept looking on his anterior chest for a wound. Never looked at his back, side or below the waist while he was hemorrhaging internally.
“Pressure to wound” was all they knew.
Monty Python meets Idiocracy. Funny, if it wasn’t tragic.
More often than not at extremely close range as in under 50m the 5.56 doesn’t leave an exit wound especially in the lower thorax. I have seen many internal bleed outs with only a .223 inch entry wound barely dripping blood as the whole lower abdomen sweels up like a tick it’s not pretty but it is fairly quick. At short range the little 55gr fmj fragments to hundreds of sharp highvelocity pieces after a few inches of flesh penetration and if it hits a bone like a pelvis it shatters the bone into shards and the bullet as well. People drop like a sack of potatoes when hit in the pelvis the ability to stand and support any weight is instantly removed. We teach it as a point of aim for moving combatants to instantly remove their ability to keep moving under their own power.
