If you get shot in the thigh, how long before you die?


Question:


Answers:
if it hits a major artery (spelling?) minutes, if not, you probably wont die unless it gets infected or it just bleeds out so slowly because you havent got medical attention in 1 -3 days i would say youd probably die if i got infected, but if it gets treated etc. also depends on caliber of the gun your getting shot with, lets say a .22 may kill you but small chance, but a .45 or .40 will probably not kill you but has a better chance because the .45 and .40 are very...how can i describe this...they are somewhat blunt...
depends... if the bullet severed an artery in your leg you'd bleed out pretty quickly. If it just past through the meat you'd not die at all. If it shattered your thigh bone, you might die from the shock of that I suppose.
It depends on if you hit any arteries... If you hit a main arterie than about 2-3 hours I would guess... maybe less. But if you know anyone who is shot in the thigh... they should go to the hospital, lol!
Depends on wether it hits the femoral artery or not. If it hits that, you've got minutes to live.
Well in all likelyhood getting shot in the thigh would hit a major artery, so i would say minutes or seconds, If it didn't than you would live unless you didn't get medical attention for about 2 or 3 days, then you might have a problem.
you may not die at all depending on the damage done.
