What physical damage would you estimate to a human shot in the shoulder with a 45 colt? As in a western gun fight.

Sage 1

Also how about a 30 30?

    Death, if not seen by a doctor for both.

    Depending on exactly what is hit it could be survivable.

    True, but the risk of death is still quite high.

    There's a large artery which passes through the shoulder and down into the arm. I've witnessed death occurring very quickly due to it being clipped.
