Do men with more muscle have a better chance of surviving a gun shot?

Not really. A gunshot wound can strike anywhere, and the type of injury determines what happens next. Gunshots rip through flesh and shatter bones. If struck in the arm, you'll probably make it. In the heart, probably not. There are all different types of head wounds, from a glancing blow to the skull, to an exit wound the size of a lemon.

True, overall health, strong immune system, age and physical condition are factors in the recovery of all injuries. With gunshot wounds, a little luck can also help. So can body armor, if you're expecting to be involved in a combat situation. But if a bullet is taken the wrong way, or at the wrong angle, distance or velocity, physical condition and increased muscle mass will not save you.
