Hey all,
I'm currently outlining my would-be second novel. During the climax, my MC puts her hand up, more as a reflex, to block a gunshot aimed at a friend.
The gun would be a basic handgun (I'm not really up on the terms), shot from maybe 15 feet away.
Assuming it hit the center of her palm, would the bullet go straight through or get lodged in her hand? If it did go straight through, how much farther would it travel?
I'm also wondering about the amount of blood loss/what the wound would look like, level of pain (could it be ignored for a bit, or no way?), treatment of the wound (both immediate First Aid and what they'd do at the hospital), recovery time, and prospects for that poor hand.
Thanks for your help.
