    temperature and the explosion would sterilize it, but yes, they can cause injury later, but that would matter if the patient died when trying to remove it immediately no?

      I think projectiles often push other crap in to the wound, like bits of clothing et cetera.

      I learned this from movies so it must be true.

      obviously removing it immediately and without proper medical training and tools is a horrible idea. i don’t think anyone’s disputing that. but surgeons leaving bullets in people’s shoulders is also not a universally applicable solution for the aforementioned reason
