It would be catastrophic - almost certainly destroying bone and cartilage. Nerve damage, loss of function, not pretty.So...question for you active shooters. I'm a gun dilettante.
How much damage would a .45 round from a handgun do to your arm if you had a negligent discharge and shot yourself there?
Easily could be life threatening, if you hit an artery, even if you have a TQ on you and know how to apply it one-handed after being shot.So...question for you active shooters. I'm a gun dilettante.

Why do you ask? The Navy doesn’t widely issue handguns chambered in .45…
It’s in the news, where someone claimed they accidentally shot themselves with a .45 on a police report that day, when they later said they lied about it and the injury was actually from years prior. Seems bizarre.Why do you ask? The Navy doesn’t widely issue handguns chambered in .45…
I've seen people shot point blank with .45 in the chest and walk into the ER on their own power , and people who got hit in the leg with a .22 that died within feet of being shot. There are so may variables that make all the difference.So...question for you active shooters. I'm a gun dilettante.

Phrasing? 😅So...question for you active shooters.
I’m a shooter. And I’m active. Does that make me an active shooter?Phrasing? 😅
Did they actively point it at the person and pull the trigger to "demonstrate" the safety, or did it happen because they weren't watching where they had it pointed?I've seen people shot point blank with .45 in the chest and walk into the ER on their own power , and people who got hit in the leg with a .22 that died within feet of being shot.

I've also seen 9mm rounds that have removed a great deal of tissue and basically de biceped a person.
Could not read the article to see his changing story. Was at Ft. Benning when a soldier was shot with a 1911. He was actually shot twice, by an armorer who was demonstrating the grip safety on a 1911. I think they had a misunderstanding of how it works. Apparently.
Hmm...so...on paper, this guy seems stellar: Naval Academy graduate, Navy SEAL, Bronze Star and Purple Heart winner, founder of an aerial firefighting business and now worth anywhere from $70-$200 million, and all by the age of 38. However, his story about the .45 is screwy. But also, my understanding is guns generally don't just "go off," even if they fall, correct?
You must be new to politics! Every national politician has a back story full of lies, half-truths, truths hidden behind twists, turns, and dead ends and even some made up stuff.None of this is to take away from his hard work to build the company, but getting hundreds of thousands from family, involvement by one of the premier investment houses (Blackstone) from family, and then a contract by way of a political connection, is a little more than "built from scratch" and bootstrapping claims on the campaign trail.
I heard a similar story about a Staff Nco from Desert Storm, Was bragging about the grip safety to his buddys during down time and decided against advice to try it out. The safety failed.I've seen people shot point blank with .45 in the chest and walk into the ER on their own power , and people who got hit in the leg with a .22 that died within feet of being shot.
