Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 31
Sometimes in the heat of battle warriors are not aware that they have been shot until later. But those who are aware of it usually experience the normal stress responses: dry mouth, sweaty palms and a racing heart rate. We know that sometimes our sense of pain can shut down so that tissue wounds do not hurt, but those who have been shot say that bone hits can be extremely painful. While that is important to know, it is also important to understand that no one dies of broken bones.
