Gettin shot up surely isn't much fun...but..have you all read any accounts of gun fights? Especially in the old west venue? Some of those guys took numerous hits and kept on fighting. Don't know if it was poor ammo or poor accuracy by the shooter or what. Even today some people take a lot of killin before they go down. Maybe in the past if wasn't acceptable to run after gettin hit by a bullet. And of course it depends on where you(preferably they) get hit. But as Swift says..It sure is better than a punch in the stomach
