The bullet doesn't kill you whenever you are shot by a gun || This is what kills you

Many people have erroneously assumed that when someone is shot by a gun, it is the bullet that kills them. The bullets you see and hear are usually metals fired at high speeds from a gun. The majority of these bullets are made of lead metals.

It is not entirely incorrect to believe that when someone is shot, it is the bullet that kills them, but there is more to it. In this article, I will discuss what causes a person to die after being shot by a gun, not just the bullet, but a variety of other factors.

To begin with, a bullet is just a metal, but it contains poisonous and hazardous metals such as lead, which is extremely dangerous to your system. When you are shot, this volatile and dangerous material mixes with your blood, making the blood poisonous and causing instant death.

Second, human blood is oxygenated, which is why when someone is shot with a gun, the bullet that enters their body contains toxins, toxic and hazardous substances like lead, which lowers the oxygen level in the blood. It would be difficult for that individual to survive if their blood is deoxygenated, meaning it lacks oxygen.

Finally, it is the bullet's toxic, volatile chemical content that destroys, not the bullet itself.
