It surely does happen. Attackers give up after being shot anywhere in the body, after being fired at and missed, and after seeing the point of a gun, without having received wounds that are immediately disabling.Basically, the point I was trying to make is that I'd wager if we had data from EVERY gunfight where a threat is shot through one lung, I'd bet a LOT of them were done when the bullet hit them...as in done with the fight.
The experts tell us otherwise.I'd also wager that the folks who continued to fight with a gunshot to the chest and through one lung are the exception, and why we hear about them.
