How to survive from a gunshot?

Question

Err,ya some people have been shot 5 times and I want to know how they survive

Answer 1

Depends on the gun and where they are shot.

Answer 2

a .38 or a 9mm will pass thru your bod -- a 22 will bounce the first obstacle it hits therefore doing much more damage, especially a hollow point.

Answer 3

Gunshots don't always hit vital organs. Someone who's been shot 5 times would have the good sense to seek medical attention, I'm assuming. If the bullets missed the vital organs and major blood vessels, flesh wounds are usually survivable. Even 5. And whoever capped them may have used a small caliber weapon.
