In theory. Realistically it’s also about what you’re shot with and where. A robust man shot in the gut with a standard .22 that doesn’t ricochet or hit anything immediately vital probably isn’t even going to ICU after the bullet is fished out. 9mm changes the odds on everything. Again though, 1 bullet to the gut may not be an ICU scenario after surgery, depending. An AK/AR though, why are they even legal for civilians?
A child, with any bullet, I don’t like to think about it.
To the gut? It doesn't matter what the round is. You're going to the ICU. A .22 isn't as non-lethal as the memes like to make it out to be, and your gut is a bunch of very critical soft tissue.
If it's to the arm or something, fine. Anywhere in the torso, you're going to the ICU most likely.
