I've had the displeasure of seeing videos of actual throat cuts and bullet wounds. While they are bloody, they can be surprisingly far less bloody than people realize. Seen a bullet wound hole with no blood whatsoever on Cops. Hollywood has tainted our perception of blood that people don't even know what is realistic anymore.

So while it's not realistic to never see blood in a violent film, the same people who criticize this fact I hope are the same people who criticize pools of blood in most action films.

Buddy, we never knew what was realistic to begin with, but a gunshot wound that doesn't bleed isn't normal. "Bloodless" violence is just as far from realistic as pressurized blood geysers.

A gunshot wound that doesn't bleed much externally is not abnormal.

The point remains anyway.

Oh, right. Moving that goalpost to gunshots that don't bleed 'much'.

LOL. We're talking about the visual effects of gunshots dood. I figured it went without saying that we're talking about external blood. But you're so apt at just "winning" a debate I guess I have to spell it out. I never claimed gunshot wounds don't bleed out, I said I seen one that didn't. That's it.

You win, is that what you wanna hear? You win my man.
