What happens if you shoot your finger with a gun?

Why would you shoot your finger with a gun?

answ2. Self-injury is not uncommon in the military for example. Or similar 'he-man' activities. Usually a finger or foot.

Perhaps it is seen as an 'honourable' method of disengaging from a difficult situation.

My only experience of this was when a fellow employee put a .22 round through the end of an index finger. Just a wee black mark on both surfaces.

Undoubtedly depends on the calibre of the weapon.

A .22 is very different from a .45.
