Is it more painful to be shot or to be stabbed?

Assume all other things are equal i.e. same amount of permanent injury, same part of the body, etc.

hi Jimmy,
I think I can help you with this one, because I reside and work in Amman - Jordan,and I was both SHOT & STABBED !!!
1- I was shot accidentaly when a group of people in Amman were firing bullets in the air as a wedding celebration - which is a common habit in Jordan - one of the bullets hit me in my left arm.
2 - The stabbing was at an earlier stage, when I was doing my B. A degree in London, I wanted to go "walking" to do some shopping, when I was mugged then stabbed.
how fortunate can you be ??
As for which one hurts most, well, believe me each one has a senario of its own, but I think I was hurt more when I was shot. |

It all depends - I got shot in the leg and it didn't even slow me down...but I've seen other people - big people - cry like little girls when they took a round. This one perp screamed like he had his nuts cut off. I mean he just screamed like a ***** for hours...(If you knew what this clown did to get himself shot, you wouldn't be offended at my description).
But another time a car jacking rapist that I captured tried to shoot me, and shot himself in the process - and I mean BAD - put a big hole right through himself - I mean the bullet went through him and kept going - and he didn't notice any pain until the crack wore off...and even then he just didn't care, because he'd been shot many times before.
I hope to God I am never stabbed. I don't let anyone get close enough. Knives scare the crap out of me, which is why I always carry three. |

Only one real way to find out...go wander into a ghetto neighborhood, say around 2-3 a.m., and report back. |

probably to be stabbed. Puncture wounds are pretty painful, i imagine the pain would last longer.
Although the inital pain of being shot is probably worse, since the impact is greater because of velocity. |

I would think that stabbing would be more painful only because a bullet could go rith through yet the knife would still be in your flesh. |

the severity of the pain depends on many things (force of person stabbing you, whether they use a twisting motion to stab you, the caliber of bullet used, close-range shot or long-distance) speaking from personal experience (i have been both shot and stabbed) i would definitely say shot. then again i shot in the knee (yeah...ouch) and stabbed in the fatty part of my palm. |

Being shot is quicker so that probably wouldn't hurt as bad. |

i would think stabbed, but i do't know cause i have never had either done to me and i hope it stays like that |

I can only imagine being shot is the worst cause with the gun, the bullet can penetrate more vital organs than the knife can. |

Stabbed, thats bcause one gonna feel the pain before dying. |
|

Tact is highly overrated
 |
Good question, I'm not sure anyone can answer it, I have had a friend who was stabbed and didn't feel it though, he thought the guy had just punched him. He felt it a little later on but not first thing. Maybe stabbed is less painful. |

Neither, both are equal in pain. |

i think being stabbed hurts more because the length of the knife touches more nerves and can cause disfigurement |

If another country invaded America and we had no formal military, would you personally attack the invaders? |
Maybe doing such things as setting up ambushes, roadside bombs, taking hostages etc.
Or would you just let them come in and take over?
Why or why not? Additional Details
