My friend got stabbed in the back and he told me he didn't feel a thing until a few hours later. Then it hurt like a bastard.

I would say stabbed. However I sure love it when I see on cops or something, when a gunshot is fired and someone thinks they got hit by the bullet, but then it comes to find out they didnt get shot. Or when the people aren't sure or not if they got shot. I don't know bout those guys, but I think I would feel it if a bullet entered me or not heh.

Getting shot there would do a hell of a lot more damage (potentially) and likely hurt more. I'm assumeing a 6" blade and a 9mm at medium range for this asessment.


(PS I don't know anything about either, other than what I see in movies) :)

What type of bullet? Jacketted or hollowpoint?

What type of blade? Double edge? Serrated? Sharp? Dull? Rusty?

Shock can cause something to hit you without you ever knowing if it did or not.

Jacketed
Sharp - non-serrated. Jack-knife.

How big's the blade? Does the attacker slip it in and twist? Or just a quick jab? What kind of bullet do you get shot with?

the hyrdostatic shock from a bullet will definitely cause much more internal damage throughout the torso, which will become incredibly painful as time goes on. however the knife will likely damage more of the upper layer of flesh, where more pain receptors are, and will probably hurt more earlier.... depdning on if it is a stab or a slash of course...

:confused:

Too many variables, I'm going with 2nd degree burns. (I know it's not an option but it's the clear winner)

A dull, serrated edged, double bladed knife and a pre-fragmented bullet would probably run neck and neck in the pain department.

It depends where you get shot or stabbed. I would rather get shot or stabbed in my chest, than in other parts of my body for example

I said stabbed, but mainly it's the area. I suspect that they feel similarly painful in the same area, although to be fair, if you're shot vs. a good stabbing, it's possible that the overall flesh destroyed would be less from the bullet. That is, unless it's powerful or splits up in the body. Really I don't like the idea of either.

probably rock salt shells fired from a shotgun, or a rusty, blunt knife stab to the abdomen
