Gunshot wounds refer to injuries caused by a firearm, typically resulting from the discharge of a bullet or other projectile. These types of wounds can vary in severity depending on factors such as the distance between the shooter and the victim, the type of gun used, and the caliber of ammunition fired. Gunshot wounds can range from minor injuries that require only basic first aid to severe injuries that may result in permanent disability or death. Treatment for these types of wounds typically involves immediate medical attention, which may include surgery, medication, and physical therapy.
