Reply to comment by nonsense39 in Lessons of Darkness (1995) - In 1991, retreating Iraqi armies set fire to hundreds of oil wells in Kuwait, creating a hell on earth. Werner Herzog explores this nightmare world, and the people who existed within it. [00:54:12] by _volkerball_

Took it better than I probably would have

Actually seems reasonable considering he got hit by an air rifle pellet. Still dangerous and potentially deadly but nowhere near the stopping power of a bullet.

He was spurting blood while showing it off, so I'd still say he took it well

That’s not what “spurting” blood looks like. That was just a couple drops when he put pressure on and around the wound.

It's not arterial gushing, but it definitely squirted out. I'm not 100% up to date on my blood volume pedantry but it seemed like a "spurt" to me

A pedantic argument about GSW blood flow semantics is a real Reddit moment

“Spurting” is not what was happening in that video. Oozing maybe. But yes he took it well which is why I said that his response was reasonable.

I see everyone leaves out the crucial part… it was an air rifle.
