I think getting stabbed would be a lot worse. What do you think is worse and why?

Depends on what you propose to shoot me with.

I've been stabbed before but i've always sort of wanted to get shot, so i'd take shot, so long as it didnt leave me disabled.

It depends on if the bullet passes through and if the knife is left in..

Does the bullet hit bone?

I'd rather be stabbed. Why?

Bullets have lead. They cause collateral damage, thus meaning that a bullet wound will inflict more damage than a direct stab.

I'd definately take the knife over the bullet.

The bullet doesn't hit bone, it is either lodged in your flesh or passes through the other side without contact with bone, and no major arteries or organs are struck.

I'd say stabbed. Shot is probably more of that kind of pain where you feel like you have to move even though it doesn't help. Being stabbed sounds like that kind of pain where all of your attention is on that one place. I can stand the second more than the first.

YAY! I actually meant from like an SMG. If I were shot with one of those I don't think there would be much left of me.

Hey, I'm not tryin to kill ya!

I was wondering about this: Would you rather get shot with a 12 guage high spread shotgun, or by a single solitary slug fired by a shotgun?

if you aimed for one of the sides of the chest my lung would only be hit.

probably the solitary slug

The bullet doesn't hit bone, it is either lodged in your flesh or passes through the other side without contact with bone, and no major arteries or organs are struck.

Assuming the bullet does pass clean through, I'll take the bullet.
However, if the bullet strikes the femur, the knife.

I have it on good authority* that a broken femur is the single most painful injury .

*A friend who was a paramedic for several years. He said it even topped being gut-shot, in his experience.

It completely depends on the type of gun used. A rifle round breaks the sound barrier and the wake of it doing that when it hits your body is way worse than a handgun round. Also depends on the size and type of the knife. I mean a ceramic blade could slice through the bone like butter, but a small pocketknife might not be so bad compared to a gunshot.

Sharper knives hurt a lot less than blunt ones... initially. But once you're cut, the size and depth of the cut more determines the amount of pain than the sharpness of the knife that did it.

My Great Uncle ran into the spray of a MG34 0r MG42 in WWII but being of a stock of people 100% stuborn and 100% Stupid he got up and took another burst.LOL*

Well they had to leave some of the shells/rounds in his hip he was so riddled with them.After the war he still managed to play Rugby at the second highest level.NZ Maori.

Whenever he went thru Airports off went the Metal Detectors!

*My Grandad after hearing this went AWOL thru enemy lines to get to his(GU) Battalion to see him.-Lost an advancement in rank for it.*
